​Trauma & Rewind Therapy

Trauma and difficult life experiences are often closely connected with relationship patterns and emotional wellbeing. I have been a trauma counsellor for many years and I know how much it can impact your life, whether it happened weeks or decades ago, whether it was a single event or a series of experiences. It can affect how you think and feel, making you anxious, angry, sad, confused, dissociated and withdrawn. It can impact your relationships, family dynamics, how you cope with life and your ability to trust others.

One of the ways I help clients process trauma is through Rewind Trauma Therapy, which has incredible success rates. I know how powerful this approach is because I’ve experienced it myself. After struggling with complex PTSD, I was treated by Dr David Muss, the founder of Rewind Trauma Therapy. It was truly life-changing—it also cured my lifelong needle phobia!

Rewind Therapy can help if you experience:

• PTSD, flashbacks, nightmares

• Anxiety, panic attacks, and intrusive thoughts

• Emotional triggers and overwhelming reactions

• Phobias, OCD, and extreme anxiety

• Trauma from accidents, abuse, or witnessing distressing events

You can book stand alone Rewind sessions, or we can incorporate it into our counselling work together. If you're interested in the research, you can read the latest study on Rewind for PTSD here.  I am also an Accredited Trainer with the IARTT - International Association for Rewind Trauma Therapy.

How I Work

Therapy isn't just for when you're in crisis or at rock bottom. It can be helpful long before things get overwhelming—giving you clarity, confidence and tools to manage life's challenges before they snowball.  As an integrative therapist I use a range of counselling and psychotherapy approaches, tailoring each session to your needs and drawing on different approaches depending on what feels most helpful for you.. My experience includes private practice, schools, community projects and well-respected NHS-funded charities. I also supervise and support other counsellors, trainees, and organisations.

If you're struggling to find hope, I can hold that for you. I’ve seen what’s possible—not just through my own therapy journey, but through the many transformations of my clients. We start wherever you are and work at a pace that feels right for you.

I offer flexible scheduling, including daytime, evening, and weekend appointments. Sessions can be weekly, fortnightly, or one-off as needed. Some clients work with me short-term, while others choose long-term support over months or years.

If anything I’ve said resonates with you and you feel I might be the right person to support you or if you have any questions, please get in touch. I’d love to hear from you.
