You don't have to keep carrying it alone.
Trauma doesn't always look the way people expect. Whatever its origin, it gets stored in ways that keep the brain and body stuck — and until it's addressed at its root, no amount of positive thinking will fully release it.

Trauma occurs when an experience overwhelms the brain's ability to process it normally. Instead of being filed away as an ordinary memory, the event becomes stuck — stored with its full emotional charge intact. The brain continues to respond as though the danger is still present, long after it has passed.
This is not a character flaw or a sign of weakness. It is something that happened to you — and it can be changed.
Types of trauma I work with
A car accident, assault, medical emergency, natural disaster or sudden bereavement that continues to cause distress through flashbacks, nightmares or avoidance.
The result of prolonged or repeated traumatic experiences — often in childhood or within an intimate relationship — affecting identity, self-worth and the ability to feel safe.
Neglect, abuse, unstable home environments or adverse childhood experiences that shape how a person sees themselves and the world as an adult.
Manipulation, coercive control, gaslighting and erosion of self-worth. The trauma from narcissistic abuse can be profound and long-lasting even with no visible scars.
A frightening or distressing experience during pregnancy, labour or delivery — widely underrecognised, and can develop into full PTSD.
Traumatic responses to serious diagnosis, invasive procedures, or a sense of loss of control over one's own body and health.
Signs you may be carrying unresolved trauma
- Flashbacks, intrusive memories or nightmares
- Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected from yourself
- Sudden intense reactions that feel out of proportion
- Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in relationships
- Chronic physical symptoms — pain, fatigue, digestive issues — with no clear cause
- A persistent sense of shame, worthlessness or something being wrong with you
- Hypervigilance — always scanning for danger, never fully relaxing
- Avoiding people, places or situations that trigger difficult feelings
The approach
All sessions are gentle, non-retraumatising, and largely content-free. You do not need to describe what happened in detail. We work with the feeling, not the story.
Please note: The BLAST Technique is not recommended without GP guidance for clients who are currently pregnant, have epilepsy, or are experiencing active suicidal ideation — discussed during the initial consultation.
Helps the brain reprocess a traumatic memory whilst stimulating normal communication between both hemispheres. The memory remains, but the distressing emotional charge attached to it is significantly reduced or eliminated. Many clients experience profound relief within a single session.
Uses structured eye movements to work directly with emotional and identity imprints — "I am not safe," "It was my fault." Works quickly and does not require detailed disclosure.
Supports the integration of trauma processing — installing new beliefs, restoring a sense of safety in the body, and helping the subconscious mind update its understanding of what is past.
This work is personal
I have navigated my own experiences of trauma, including an abusive marriage, assault, and the long road to rebuilding my sense of self. That journey is part of what drives my commitment to making trauma healing accessible, compassionate and genuinely effective.
What clients say
"From the first session, I felt lighter, slept without nightmares and woke without anxiety. I felt in safe hands throughout. I would highly recommend BLAST and IEMT to anyone struggling with trauma."

Sessions available in person in Haverhill, Suffolk, and online across the UK.
Questions
Do I have to talk about what happened?
No. Sessions are largely content-free. You don't need to describe or relive the traumatic experience — we work with the emotional response, not the story.
What's the difference between PTSD and complex PTSD?
PTSD typically follows a single identifiable event. Complex PTSD develops from prolonged or repeated trauma — such as childhood abuse or domestic violence. Both are very treatable using the approaches I specialise in.
Is online trauma therapy as effective as in person?
Yes. BLAST, IEMT and hypnotherapy all work equally well via video call. Many clients find online sessions easier as they can process in the comfort of their own home.
What if I've tried therapy before and it didn't work?
Many of my clients come after years of talk therapy that didn't fully resolve their trauma. The approaches I use work at the subconscious level — which is where trauma is actually stored.
