Nervous System Regulation Therapy in Essex

A core part of my work focuses on nervous system regulation.

Many people experiencing anxiety, trauma or chronic stress are living in a constant state of fight, flight or shutdown. Therapy is not only about talking, it is also about helping your body feel safe again.

I support clients to:

  • Understand how their nervous system responds to stress
  • Recognise triggers and patterns
  • Develop grounding and regulation techniques
  • Build emotional resilience
  • Feel calmer and more in control

Why work with me?

  • BACP Registered Counsellor
  • First Class BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling
  • Lecturer in Counselling
  • Registered with BUPA (accepting insured clients)
  • Specialist training in Nervous System Regulation, Domestic Abuse, Bereavement, Eating Disorders & Children’s Mental Health, ASD, Trauma.

What to Expect

Your first session is a safe, confidential space to explore what has brought you to counselling. We will talk about your goals and how we can work together in a way that feels supportive and manageable.
