In trauma-informed practice, the environment matters as much as the therapy.

It’s always been important to me to create spaces that are calm (and calming), safe and peaceful.

You won’t find screens in my waiting room, but plenty of plants 🌱

Soft sounds, soothing scents, and indirect and warm lighting - all of those small details are carefully chosen and maintained to support nervous system regulation and create a sense of safety right from the moment you step through the front door.

… and as much as it’s about client comfort, it’s also the environment I need to do my best work as an introverted therapist who needs calm, stillness and room to move and think 🤓

A rose doesn’t rush its unfolding; it opens one petal at a time, when the conditions are right, the environment is safe snd supportive (and possums didn’t eat the buds… or that might just be in our garden haha😁. 🌹

Our nervous systems work much the same way:
When we feel safe and supported, we begin to open — naturally, not forcefully. When we can sense that it’s ok to relax, then growth happens.

That’s the heart of 4-week group program “Regulate & Restore”: creating space to feel safe in your body, to unwind, and to let your own pace of healing lead the way.

Still feeling grounded and inspired after attending the launch of The Somatic Workbook by Dr. Kaitlin Harkess 💛

It was such a beautiful evening — thoughtful conversation, gentle embodied practice, and deep reflection on what it means to live from the body, not just in it.

We started with a grounding exercise, before delving into the “intellectual part“ 🤓

Kaitlin spoke with such warmth and clarity about the intersection of psychology, yoga, and neuroscience, and gave a great into her own daily grounding techniques („feet on the grass“ is a shared fav!)

As someone who works within trauma-informed spaces, it was affirming to witness such an integrative approach being celebrated and shared with the wider community.

Let’s have more conversations that honour the wisdom of the body and the courage it takes to come home to ourselves. 🌿

As a psychologist, one of my main roles is to help people make sense of their inner world.

People often come to therapy carrying feelings, memories, and reactions that seem overwhelming or confusing. Therapy creates space to pause, reflect, and discover how past experiences and current patterns connect, so that instead of being stuck in survival mode, you can move toward healing, clarity, and choice.

Through listening, reflecting, and offering practical tools, therapists walk alongside their clients as they learn to understand themselves in new and empowering ways.

The science is clear: being ‘seen’ is not another TikTok trend or something ‘hippie’ or ‘woke’. It’s a human need.

It’s when someone gives you their full presence and attention. When you get that sense of safety and connection in an environment where you can truly be yourself. Effortlessly. When life feels ‘easy’ because the people in your corner have got your back.

Who, where or what makes you feel seen?

The friend who shape-shifts 🦎

Who gets on with anyone, fits in, says yes, and is so agreeable that sometime you just want to shake them and ask “but what do you really like”?

“Where do you want to go for dinner”, you might ask. “Oh I don’t mind, wherever you think” they reply.

It’s similar to, but not quite the same as people pleasing. Chameleon mode (or the more technical schema mode therapy term “compliant surrenderer) is about maintaining connection at all cost.

Your chameleon friend learned that safety means blending in, agreeing, staying small.

They need you to be there with them.

They need safety, patience, and presence -
so their body can learn it’s safe to be seen. 🤍

Therapy isn’t just about talking.

Sometimes healing lives in the body, in the breath, and in the way we learn to feel safe inside ourselves again.

When psychology and trauma-informed yoga come together, therapy can offer:
✨ A deeper understanding of how your nervous system works
✨ Practical, embodied tools for regulation and grounding
✨ A safe space to process not just thoughts and emotions, but also the physical imprints of trauma
✨ A bridge between mind and body, helping you move from survival to thriving

It means sessions don’t just focus on insight, but also on giving you real, felt experiences of safety, calm, and choice.

Because sometimes the body remembers what the mind has worked so hard to forget. And healing happens when both are invited into the room. 💛
