I combine talking therapy, body based healing and an understanding of family patterns passed down through generations to find what works best for you. We’ll use what you need -gently and practically- so changes lasts. Transform pain into healing, confusion into clarity, and disconnection into authentic living.
🛡️
When we’re in emotional pain, our nervous system is often overwhelmed. We work at your pace, building a sense of safety and trust that allows your natural healing capacity to emerge.
🧠
We explore the different parts of yourself—the critic, the protector, the hurt child—with curiosity rather than judgment. This helps you understand why you react the way you do.
💞
Emotional pain often gets stored in our bodies and affects our relationships. We work with both—building your capacity for healthy connection with others.
🌳
Sometimes our emotional pain carries the weight of family history—patterns of addiction, trauma, or dysfunction passed down through generations.
I combine different approaches of therapy that can help you to explore how past and present experiences can shape the way you think and feel. What matters isn’t the technique—it’s that you feel seen, understood and supported in overcoming what is stopping you living a life that feels authentic and meaningful to you.

I understand what it feels like to navigate life’s challenges while trying to hold everything together. Like many people, I’ve experienced times when everything appeared fine on the surface, but inside I was struggling with the weight of daily pressures and expectations.
Through my own journey of learning to cope with life’s complexities — whether juggling work responsibilities, experiencing post childhood trauma, family commitments, or simply managing the demands of everyday life — I’ve come to deeply understand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel when you’re putting on a brave face while battling inner turmoil.
I am a MBACP registered Counsellor with training in trauma, somatic(body-based awareness) approaches and over 15 years working with transgenerational trauma, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to our relationship.
Trauma-informed counselling means I understand how difficult experiences affect your mind, body, and emotions. I create a safe space where we work at your pace, without pushing you before you’re ready. This approach recognizes that healing happens when you feel safe and in control.

Yes. We work precisely with the parts of ourselves that we often hide from others—the parts that feel vulnerable, anxious, or not-good-enough despite external success. Many high-functioning individuals benefit from this work to find greater inner peace and authenticity.

Approach
At SomaSoul Counselling, priority is given to your journey towards understand and healing by offering therapy sessions tailored to your unique experiences.
My approach recognises the profound impact of trauma on your mental, emotional and physical well‑being.
Sessions focus on compassionate listening and somatic exercises that help you process and integrate past experiences; allowing you to reclaim your sense of self. safety, pacing and body awareness is part of the process in integrating difficult experiences.
We build skills to regulate the nervous system and restore a sense of agency. This safe space encourages you to explore your feelings and develop strategies that pave the way for a brighter future.
Together, we will navigate the layers of trauma, fostering resilience and empowerment.
Transgenerational Healing delves into patterns and beliefs passed down through generations that may be affecting your current life.
We explore the emotional and psychological legacies that shape your experiences, often without your awareness. By identifying and addressing these inherited traumas, we work together to break the cycle and foster healing.
This enlightening process not only liberates you but can also positively impact your family lineage for generations to come. We explore inherited patterns with compassion, distinguishing what belongs to you from what was carried for the family system.
The goal is freedom, clarity and belonging. Embrace the opportunity to rewrite your story and create a healthier legacy.
After years of struglling in silence, I embarked on my own therapeutic journey, including extensive transgenerational (family trauma passed down through generations) work and processing childhood trauma. I discovered not just healing for myself, but a calling to support others in finding their path to wellness.
Having walked from burnout to renewal, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to our work together.
At SomaSoul Counselling you’ll find a professional space where warmth and experience come together to support your journey towards wellness.
