Irene Valis
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA certified Gestalt therapist, Counsellor, Life Coach
I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist having completed training through Bessel Van der Kolk’s “The Body Keeps the Score” workshops and the Polyvagal Institute around neuroscience and trauma and healing.
I provide a safe, relational, mindbody approach to help in the processing and integrating traumas such as childhood developmental trauma, emotional or psychological abuse, or significant events, memories or losses that linger long after the incident occurred.
I would be honoured to be your guide and connect you with the validation, support and closure that you need and deserve.

Emma Dean
Therapist, MA Hons, DipCaH, PNLP
I help people who have experienced trauma or PTSD feel safe, supported, and empowered to reclaim their lives. Trauma can live in the body and nervous system long after the events have passed, affecting how we think, feel, and relate to the world. Using integrative, trauma-informed approaches — including hypnotherapy, breathwork, meditation, and gentle somatic techniques — I help you process and release stored tension, build resilience, and restore a sense of safety and agency. Together, we create a pathway toward healing that is paced, compassionate, and deeply personal.

Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms a person's ability to cope. It can result from various experiences, including accidents, natural disasters, war, abuse and loss. PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Complex PTSD stems from prolonged or repeated trauma, often occurring during childhood - it includes symptoms of PTSD along with additional difficulties such as emotional regulation issues, dissociation and interpersonal problems. Somatic resources focus on the body and it's sensations, aiming to release trauma stored in the physical self. Techniques include breath work, movement, touch and awareness exercises. These methods help clients reconnect with their body, fostering a sense of safety and presence. Using parts work, based on the IFS model - an evidence based therapeutic model that views the mind as composed of multiple parts, each with their own perspective and roles. It's particularly effective for trauma as it helps clients understand and integrate fragmented selves. Healing occurs as clients learn to listen to and care for wounded parts, reducing the intensity of protector parts whose symptoms manifest as rigidity, avoidance or intense reactions and unwanted behaviours. Integration involves creating harmony among parts, leading to a more cohesive and balanced self. A trauma-informed approach is grounded in understanding and responding to the effects of trauma. It focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment, emphasising clients' strengths and resilience. Integration involves combining somatic resources, parts work, IFS and trauma-informed care in a flexible and client-centred way. This holistic approach addresses trauma's effects on the body, mind and spirit, fostering comprehensive healing. It is imperative that my clients feel safe and supported in our sessions. I cultivate a warm, non-judgmental environment, respecting your boundaries and pacing. Interventions are tailored to each person's unique needs, incorporating somatic exercises, parts work, IFS techniques, and trauma-informed principles as appropriate. Building resilience involves supporting my client's in developing coping strategies, enhance self-awareness and build supportive relationships.
