HOLISTIC AND SOMATIC HEALING
Welcome, my name is Zoe.
I am a somatic and holistic therapist specialising in trauma healing.
TRAUMA HEALING
I believe healing is a deeply somatic process that cannot be intellectualised.
My journey taught me that many symptoms people suffer from — including PTSD, chronic anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, addictions, panic attacks, depression, perfectionism and low self-esteem — are often rooted in unresolved trauma stored within the body and nervous system.
MY APPROACH
Using evidence-informed approaches that work with both the body and subconscious mind, I help clients process trauma at its root to support deep, lasting change.
This goes beyond talk therapy.
My own healing journey and years of research into trauma and the nervous system deeply shaped the work I offer today and allow me to guide others through this process with both professional knowledge and lived experience.
It is a true honour to witness clients move from survival and suffering into greater peace, connection and joy within themselves.
BODY, MIND AND SOUL
Body
Trauma lives in the body and nervous system as held tension, emotion and survival responses. Through somatic work, we support the body in releasing what it has carried in isolation.
Mind
We work with subconscious beliefs, patterns and protective strategies shaped by past experiences, bringing awareness and integration to what has been running underneath conscious awareness.
Soul
As these layers begin to soften, many people experience a deeper reconnection to themselves — a sense of clarity, presence and inner alignment beneath survival patterns and conditioning.
SESSIONS WITH ZOE
WHAT TO EXPECT IN A SESSION?
Sessions with me are deeply somatic and body-based. A session lasts around 75 minutes.
We start from the issue you are experiencing and trace it back to the root cause: the underlying past trauma.
Using a variety of therapeutic approaches including EFT, IEMT, parts work and somatic techniques, we work with emotions, memories and protective responses from the past, allowing the body to process what has remained unresolved.
Everything is approached with care and at a pace your system can handle. The aim is not to push or analyse, but to support your system in processing what has been held alone.
Healing isn’t only about the right tools or technique — I believe healing happens when we are finally met with enough compassion, safety and presence to reconnect with the parts of ourselves we had to suppress in order to survive.
A GUIDE IN THE DARK
My approach to therapy is deeply human.
I am not here to judge you or tell you who you should be. I aim to create a space where you feel safe enough to show up fully as yourself — including the parts that feel messy, afraid, ashamed or lost.
Co-regulation, safety, being seen, and love are important components in how we heal. Most of our wounds are relational, therefore a creating a safe relationship with clients where they feel seen and accepted is at the foundation of my work.
I believe we can only guide others as deeply as we have been willing to go within ourselves, which is why my own healing journey continues to shape the way I work today.
Healing is not about becoming someone else.
It is about returning to yourself.
THE tools I USE
WHAT IS EFT?
EFT is a very gentle technique that naturally calms the body’s stress response by tapping on certain meridian points of the body. It allows clients to access unresolved and suppressed trauma safely and to process unresolved feelings, memories and beliefs stored in the subconscious. This allows for profound and long lasting change.
WHAT IS SOMATIC HEALING?
Most of us are very disconnected from our bodies, as it wasn’t safe to be embodied as children. Our bodies hold our past trauma and suppressed emotions, and remember everything we went through. By learning to attune to what is present in the body (tension, emotion, sensation) and listening to what it needs to move through and be released (presence, love, movement, sound) we can let the frozen energy from the past move out of gently.
WHAT IS INNER CHILD AND PARTS WORK?
When we go through a traumatic experience as children, the part of us undergoing that trauma freezes in time. The inner child is the part of us that never grew up, but holds beliefs, emotions and memories from the past, and controls our life experience, emotional reactions and decisions. Until we heal the inner child, we see life from the lens of that child.
Inner child work and parts work is a way to tend to those hurt and protective parts of us, restore love and compassion for ourselves, and help them “grow up”so that they don’t control our adult lives anymore.
WHAT IS IEMT?
Similar to EMDR, IEMT uses precise eye movement patterns to recalibrate maladaptive responses, allowing individuals to process distressing memories, alleviate negative emotions, and develop healthier mental frameworks. Unlike traditional talk therapies, IEMT operates on a neurobiological level, often producing rapid and lasting results.
