Today I was teaching a module on motivation and change and how we move from feeling stuck and surviving, to genuinely shifting into new ways of being.

It was such an energising day with a brilliant group, and I came away feeling really grateful for this work.

One of the students even emailed afterwards saying how welcoming and engaging the session felt, which was such a lovely end to the day! (see pic below)

And it reminded me of something I see again and again…

Change isn’t about forcing ourselves to “be different.” It’s about understanding our nervous system, feeling safe enough to shift, and having support that meets us where we are gently, relationally, and with compassion.

If you’re in a season where you’re ready for deeper, supported change, I now have:

1 place taken
2 spaces left for my 5-day Somatic EMDR Intensive taken before Christmas

It’s for you if you feel stuck in patterns you understand, but can’t shake because they live not in your thoughts, but in your body.

Now I’m off for a cup of tea and some sofa time. Brain officially done for the day 😅🫖

My 13-year-old has officially declared it:
Christmas season has begun. 🎄✨

Halloween costumes away…
Garden centres explored…
And her dopamine reserves are happily topped up with twinkly lights and baubles.

I love seeing Christmas through her eyes.

But I also know after years supporting clients that this time of year isn’t joyful for everyone.

For many, the festive season brings:

• Old wounds around family
• Grief or loneliness
• Pressure to “be happy” when you’re not
• Exhaustion from “holding it all together”
• Financial stress
• Nervous system overload from constant stimulation
• Memories of difficult childhood Christmases
• A deep feeling of “I shouldn’t feel like this…”

It can be a beautiful time of year
and also a deeply triggering one.

And pretending otherwise doesn’t help.

So, this year, instead of pushing through December in survival mode, I’m offering a different option for those who want to feel emotionally steadier going into winter:

🙌5-Day Somatic EMDR Reset Intensive🙌

For people who:

• Have done some therapy already
• Want to stop carrying emotional heaviness into December
• Want to feel calmer, grounded and supported before the chaos begins
• Are ready for deep-but-gentle work
• Value investing in their emotional wellbeing
• Want a more peaceful internal Christmas than the ones they grew up with

This isn’t crisis work, and it’s not a “fix it fast” thing.

It’s a safe, structured, trauma-informed space to help your nervous system exhale, settle, and feel supported, so you’re not white-knuckling your way through the season.

3 x 90-minute sessions over 5 days
Personal guidance + somatic practices
Daily check-ins
A private journal space to process and integrate

£547
Limited spaces
Application only (to make sure it’s the right fit for your nervous system)
Sessions starting from 16th November

Imagine waking up on Christmas morning knowing you have the tools to cope!

How would the day feel different for you?

If you are feeling overwhelmed/anxious try this...

Close your eyes, place your hand on you chest and bring you awareness to your breathing.

How does it feel in your chest as you breathe in and out?

No right or wrong, no judgment just noticing.

And become aware of how your sensations change.

Does your body want to move in anyway as you notice the feelings inside?

Do this for as little or as long as you need.

When you open your eyes notice what feels different?

This is the basics of working with the body.

If you'd like to find out more about working with me to fully release anxiety, overwhelm, maybe trauma book a free session. Link in bio.

Your body is constantly talking to your brain. Are you listening?

Science shows that the vagus nerve is like a superhighway carrying signals from your heart, lungs, and gut to your brain. These signals shape how we feel emotions, make decisions, manage stress, and even how we connect with others.

When this system is dysregulated, it can contribute to anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating struggles, and chronic pain.

The exciting part? Therapies that strengthen vagus nerve function, like somatic therapy, breathwork, and gentle movement, can help restore balance.

That’s why in my work I focus not only on what you think but on what your body feels. By tuning into the body’s natural signals, we can unlock deep healing and resilience.

🦁 Want to explore how this works in practice? Book a free “getting to know you” session with me and let’s talk about how somatic therapy might help.

This is where I am right now…

I’ve been doing a lot of personal reflection lately and accepting myself more and more for the human I am. One thing I’ve realised is that I’m not a “straight line” person — I’ve always loved variety.

In the past, I think that’s sometimes confused people about what I do. But now, I feel more aligned and confident in what I provide.

This is how I can help you…

🦁 1:1 Private Therapy – always starting with a free “getting to know you” session so we can explore what you need and if I’m the right fit for you.
🦁 Clinical Supervision – a safe, supportive space for therapists, grounded in trauma expertise and relational practice.
🦁 Somatic Training – practical tools to bring the body into therapy safely, creatively, and with confidence.
🦁 EMDR Training – specialist training that goes beyond protocols, focusing on relational depth and integration.

These are the spaces I hold, and each one connects back to the same core values: curiosity, compassion, and creating safety for growth.

If any of these speak to you, I’d love to hear from you. 💛

My client didn’t think he was good enough for therapy, there were other people more deserving than him.

Trauma often whispers: “You don’t matter. Stay quiet. Others need help more than you.”

When he first started to come to see me, he was deeply dissociated, cut off from his body, from connection, from a sense of worth.

What he needed most wasn’t quick fixes, but gentleness, time, and a safe space to slowly reconnect with himself.

Fast forward just 9 months (not long in the complex trauma therapy world), and he was able to say out loud: “I can see how I might be of value in peoples lives.”

This was huge.

And I was grinning from ear to ear.

This is why I do what I do.

Because therapy isn’t about pushing positivity.

It’s about rewiring the images your nervous system automatically defaults to, the dark ones that keep you stuck in survival and helping your body create new pictures of safety, hope, and possibility.

That’s how the shift happens. That’s how light begins to break through.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “not deserving” of therapy, I want you to know: you are.

I offer a free 45-minute Getting to Know You session- a gentle, no-pressure space to explore what healing could look like for you.

Driving home just now, I had a realisation I’ve never had before:

I am a leader in relational, somatic therapy 😱

I hope you are all reading this saying- yeah we know Sarah, tell us something new ☺️

But here's the thing- I have been one of those complex clients I bang on about!

I practice these tools on myself every day.

For years now I’ve blended neuroscience, person-centred practice and somatic approaches. I’ve tested, refined, and lived this work with my clients.

And for the first time today, I connected my body to my logical thoughts around being a leader in this field.

That’s huge when you’re self worth has been used to dissociating from your feelings.

That’s why I’m so passionate about teaching this work, because I know how much confidence it gives practitioners to support even the most complex clients safely and effectively.

And I know as the client, how powerful it is to increase your self belief and self worth from this approach.

That’s what the Relational Somatic Practitioner Training is all about.

We start tomorrow evening.

Doors close tonight.

I've given my email list an exclusive discount today- do you want it to?

It’s never just about the mind.
It’s never just about the body.
The two are inseparable.
