Frequently Asked Questions

Deciding to talk to someone is often the hardest part


Most people arrive with the same handful of worries


I have answered a few of them here, in short videos, so you can get a feel for me before we speak

What if I feel ashamed of what I need to say?

Shame keeps people out of the room for longer than the problem itself does


You do not have to arrive with the words ready. We can start at the edge, with what feels sayable, and go from there

What if I am not sure trauma applies to me?

Trauma is not a competition, and it is not only the large, obvious events. It can be something quieter that took up residence long ago and shaped how you live


Sometimes it is less about what happened and more about what did not. The comfort that never came


We can start with what you actually notice, in your life and in your body, and let the understanding catch up

Why do I keep going back to something I want to stop?

This is often asked with real frustration


The behaviour usually began as a solution, not a fault. The part of you that reaches for it is usually trying to help


Rather than only trying to stop the behaviour, we get curious about what it has been doing for you, and find other ways to meet that need.

How do we start?
