You might recognise

Experiences that may bring people to therapy

  • You notice shutdown, numbness, hypervigilance, or feeling on edge.
  • Past experiences still seem to affect your present relationships or sense of self.
  • You experience dissociation, spacing out, or feeling disconnected from your body or surroundings.
  • You want to understand trauma without being rushed into detail before you feel ready.
  • You are interested in approaches such as EMDR, somatic awareness, CBT, or psychodynamic psychotherapy.

How therapy can help you explore this

Trauma-informed therapy pays attention to safety, pacing, and the ways overwhelming experiences can continue to show up emotionally and physically. The focus is not on forcing disclosure, but on building understanding and capacity over time.

Therapy can help you notice patterns, make sense of protective responses, and explore what supports greater connection to yourself and others.

How I work

Suzy draws on EMDR, psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, and somatic awareness. This can include processing distressing memories, understanding relational patterns, developing practical ways to work with thoughts and feelings, and noticing body-based responses.

The work remains collaborative and led by what feels most important and manageable for you.
