Everybody wants to be heard, believed, validated and respected. I teach strategies to manage complicated and overwhelming feelings.

Sometimes you can be so overwhelmed with stress that you have trouble prioritising your own needs. You don't know where to start to make things better. You might know that you are safe now – and that the past is over – but parts of you just don’t seem to believe it. Maybe it feels as if you've been stranded in patterns of response that only complicate things, rather than help them. But all your efforts to change don't go anywhere. You may know that you have experienced early life and chronic trauma, but knowing this hasn't yet helped to soothe all the distressing patterns, thoughts, feelings and impulses that come from that trauma.
