About me
My work blends nervous‑system regulation, trauma‑informed practice and neurodiversity‑affirming therapy to help you understand your patterns, build internal safety, and create long‑term, sustainable change at a pace that feels right for you.
I’m Jacqueline, an integrative therapist and founder of Forever Growing Therapy Specialists. I support people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, traumatised, or who experience the world differently due to neurodivergence. My work is grounded in the understanding that the nervous system can learn, adapt, and heal throughout life — and that change becomes possible when we feel safe, supported, and understood.
Many of the individuals I work with have spent years coping alone, masking their needs, or trying to “push through” difficult emotions. I offer a calm, steady therapeutic space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. Together, we look at how your nervous system has been shaped by past events and how it can be gently reconditioned through regulation, awareness, and compassionate support.
As a neuro‑affirming specialist, I work respectfully with autistic, ADHD, highly sensitive, and otherwise neurodivergent clients. I don’t pathologise difference. Instead, I help you understand your unique wiring and develop strategies that honour your sensory, emotional, and cognitive needs. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and tailored to your nervous system — not a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.
My practice blends somatic awareness, trauma‑informed methods, grounding techniques, and body‑up/brain‑down learning. You’ll learn how to recognise your patterns, understand your triggers, and build internal safety. Over time, these small, consistent shifts support long‑term wellbeing and a greater sense of clarity and connection.
If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with warmth, respect, and a deep understanding of the nervous system, I offer a space where you can grow gently, safely, and at your own pace.

The effects of trauma can show in many ways, potentially, individuals can experience high emotion or low emotion, more detached, notice changes in self esteem, mood, behaviours, thought and feeling patterns. Traumatic experiences can cause the nervous system to become stuck in a state of high alert or hypo alert, a fear response, also noticed by a reduced ability to take in and process information, interact with others, express emotion or feel safe. May also show up like brain fog, confusion, self doubt, on edge, overwhelmed, hyper focusing and or over thinking, alternatively, shut down, flat, no motivation, stuck, exhausted, unable to focus or access feelings.
Introducing Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)
Rapid Transformational therapy is often described to be a hydride therapy, expertly orchestrated by Marisa Peer drawing from Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Neruo-linguistic programming (NLP) and Hypnotherapy with aim to uncover the root the reason and cause of any issues faced.
Similarly as with other forms of therapy we prioritise a save space to soothe the nervous system and gently become an expert explorer, observing how, where, why and when limiting beliefs, anxiety, stress, phobia, worry and or trauma have formed and got stuck, stored, subsequently negatively impacting thoughts, feelings, actions, relationships, goals and or health, forming distressing unhelpful patterns. Dissimilarly to some other forms of therapy RTT is designed to offer a rapid transformation, a swift shift, quickly prompting a move away from the established learnt beliefs, pressure and stress, rewiring and redirecting a healthy, helpful updated programme, a new way of thinking and feeling, one that works for you, no longer against you.
Both body and mind finds a way to let us know, very loudly sometimes, that we need an essential pause, recovery, rest, time to recoup and restore, the energy levels are exhausted, absolutely spent with there being nothing left in the tank, hence the saying, we cant drink from an empty cup.
RTT also offers a range of transformational techniques including Cell Command Therapy
Cell Command Therapy is informed by extensive research in the field of Epigeneics, Dr Bruce Lipton evidences that our genes are influenced by our environment also our thoughts, actions, emotions, highlighting how we communicate to self, about self and how we perceive the world around us fundamentally impacts at a cellular level.
Powerfully RTT promotes a process of neurological reconditioning, locating and releasing stored, trapped trauma, updating learnt outmoded beliefs so to actively create and install updated messages, change within the primary environment, the body and mind, freeing us to so create further changes in the external environment if needed and necessary.
It is a bit like learning a new language, a compassionate language, learnt simply through repetition, the mind and body learn through repetition.
Creating a calming safe space, a nurturing environment, I empathetically offer bespoke personalised sessions, respectfully promoting exploration and uncensored self expression at your pace, learning to meet self exactly where we are, leaving unrealistic high expectations and demands behind. Together we supportively, actively get curious, so to gain a deeper understanding along with self compassion and a realistic pace, re-establishing balance and equilibrium, prioritising wellbeing, moving into a state termed, rest and digest, feeling calm, soothed and connected.
Noting the current repetition is firing in and strengthening exactly what we don’t want more stress, worry and fears, being our biggest critic, spiralling feeling stuck the more it is repeated the stronger it gets, so we place focus to learning what you do want, focus, calm, flow and tranquillity, to be your own best friend, biggest supporter, cheerleader and advocate, a transformative communication style, phenomenally promoting growth, moving forward healing.
The RTT process generates healing at the cellular level, giving the body and brain the instructions it needs to regenerate and repair, receiving a new message, reconditioning to optimal health, restorative.
You will also receive a complimentary bespoke transformational recording to further promote soothing the nervous system, achieving your goals in away that works for you, understanding we learn through repetition.
PLEASE NOTE RTT sessions last between 90 mins / 2 hrs
Charged at a fee of £250.
