Support for persistent stress, pain, and emotional challenges

helping you to feel calmer, steadier, and safer - in yourself and your life

Gentle, trauma-informed support for people affected by prolonged stress, ongoing pain, or emotionally disruptive experiences. The work is collaborative, carefully paced, and shaped around what feels manageable for you.

You might recognise yourself here if:

• you feel emotionally unsettled, overwhelmed, or not quite yourself

• stress, pain, fatigue, or other symptoms have built up over time

• your sense of safety, confidence, or identity has been shaken

• your experiences don’t fit into one explanation or diagnosis

Some people come mainly for emotional support. Others come because of physical symptoms such as ongoing or recurring pain, tension, fatigue, backache, digestive difficulties, headaches/migraines, or heightened sensitivity.

You may have a diagnosis such as fibromyalgia or chronic pain conditions, or you may have no diagnosis at all. You may experience a range of challenging emotions such as shame, frustration, powerlessness or disappointment in yourself.

What I offer

I offer gentle, relational support that draws on therapeutic mindfulness, hypnotherapy and somatic approaches. The support works with how stress and difficult experiences are held in the body, emotions, and nervous system.

This work aims to support:

• greater steadiness and nervous system capacity

• more choice in how you respond to symptoms, emotions, and triggers

• a sense of safety and continuity over time

Where applicable, the work also supports recovery after emotionally disruptive experiences such as a loss or digital violation. This can include processing what happened, rebuilding confidence, and developing a clearer sense of personal safety and self-trust from now on.

A common need can be to feel calmer, safer, and more stable within yourself.

How this work can support you

This work may help you:

• respond more calmly to stress, pain, fatigue, or emotional triggers

• experience less overwhelm and reduced symptom intensity

• improve rest, sleep, and nervous system regulation

• rebuild confidence, self‑trust, and emotional resilience

• develop a kinder, more compassionate relationship with your body, and your whole self

This work does not aim to treat or cure medical conditions, or to minimise what you have been through. It focuses on how you live with and respond to your experience now.

When you get in touch, you don’t need to explain everything. A brief message via email, phone, text or contact form is enough. We can arrange an initial conversation to see whether working together feels appropriate.
