About me

Neuro-Somatic Rewiring & Energy Psychotherapy
The Bridge Between Clinical Science & Somatic Wisdom

Traditional talk therapy often reaches a structural ceiling for highly analytical or somatically disconnected individuals. My practice, Awaken Inner Sense, addresses this by tracking and down-regulating your autonomic nervous system in real-time, matching your specific profile with advanced energy psychology protocols to clear trauma from both the physical body and the subtle energy field.

"I offer a space where clinical rigour meets deep empathy, helping you move beyond 'coping' and into a state of integrated flow."

My work is Outcome-Focused and Integrative. This means I don't just look at symptoms; I look at your whole system—the mind, the nervous system, and the biological shifts that influence your well-being. I bridge the gap between traditional Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and cutting-edge Neuro-Somatic techniques to help you find a deep, cellular sense of resolution.

 Are you "highly verbal" but "somatically disconnected"?
Many of the clients I work with—particularly neurodivergent women and survivors of complex trauma—can talk about their experiences for hours with high intelligence and insight. Yet, despite "knowing" the theory of their trauma, their nervous system remains stuck in a state of "sensory burn," chronic exhaustion, or high-functioning anxiety.

You cannot "think" your way out of a nervous system trapped in a survival loop.

My approach is designed to bypass the "thinking brain" and speak directly to the autonomic nervous system. We stop trying to force a neurotypical "fix" onto a neurodivergent experience; instead, we work with your unique brain and biofield to reclaim your agency.

Single Specialisms

  • The Neuro-Hormonal Intersection (Neuro-Menopause): I'm particularly interested in how hormonal transitions (Perimenopause and Menopause) affect the neurodivergent brain (ADHD/Autism). I help you navigate the effects of oestrogen depletion—addressing brain fog and sensory overwhelm to regain cognitive clarity.
  • The "Unmasked Brain" (Neuro-Affirming Care): I specialise in the emotional healing that follows a late-life ADHD or Autistic diagnosis. Helping you find your new roadmap.
  • Neuro-Somatic Regulation: Working with the nervous system to resolve deep-seated stress, burnout, and the "High-Functioning Anxiety" often found in leaders, creatives, and high-net-worth individuals.
  • Narcissistic Abuse & C-PTSD Recovery: Healing from narcissistic dynamics (PNSD) requires a therapist who understands the mechanics of gaslighting and the "Fawn" response. I help you dismantle the "Core Shame" and reclaim the agency that trauma took away.
  • Trauma Recovery: A specialist approach to C-PTSD and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery (PNSD). I focus on moving beyond simply "talking about" trauma to resolving its physical and energetic imprint on the nervous system. By dismantling the "Fawn" response and addressing the "sensory burn" of trauma, I help you move from survival-based hyper-vigilance into a state of embodied safety and absolute agency.
  • Inner Child Therapy: Using my own Inner Child Healing program (est. 2012), we address verbal, developmental, relational, and trauma-related wounds.

My Clinical Approach
As a senior UKCP-registered (14 years) psychotherapist with 20 years of clinical experience and 30 years of energy psychology mastery, I work across three distinct layers:

  • The Psychological System: Safely deconstructing childhood conditioning, transforming internalised critical voices, and releasing systemic family trauma bonds 
  • The Neuro-Somatic Nervous System: Tracking your autonomic responses in real time, downregulating overactive cortisol/adrenaline pathways, and shifting your biology out of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn loops.
  • The Biofield Anatomy: Accessing the subtle energy systems and utilising advanced energy psychology protocols to physically clear and ground deep cellular trauma imprinting.

How We Work Together

I work exclusively within highly boundaried, intensive therapeutic containers.

All work is delivered through a structured 3-month framework with fortnightly 90-minute sessions, allowing the deep somatic tracking required for true transformation.

Within this container, we choose one of two distinct pathways:

The Complex Singular Pathway: For deep-seated, isolated issues (e.g., targeted Trauma or Inner Child processing) where your wider environment is stable.

The Complex Intersectional Pathway: Mandatory for highly layered histories (e.g., unmasking neurodivergence while recovering from narcissistic abuse and experiencing hormonal burnout). We track and treat these overlapping layers at the same time.

Practice Logistics & Boundaries
To maintain the highest level of clinical containment and ensure you feel safe and held throughout this process, I operate with clear professional boundaries:

No Free Introductory Calls: Complex multidimensional work cannot be properly assessed in a casual chat. Every journey begins with your intensive, 90-minute deep-dive consultation, which serves as the fully integrated opening session of your 3-month container to map your autonomic nervous system patterns.


Format: Primarily online, UK-wide practice via secure video. (Limited in-person availability in Ulverston, Cumbria, by exception).


Commitment & Pricing: I work exclusively within 3-month neurosomatic containers featuring intensive, fortnightly 90-minute sessions. The total investment is £1,540 (flexible payment plans are available: £540 upfront deposit, followed by 2 monthly payments of £500), depending on which pathway. Once admitted into a container, sessions run on a fixed rhythm. To ensure the momentum of your transformation, these bookings are dedicated solely to you and cannot be paused or rearranged.

Professional Credentials & Experience
I bring over 20 years of clinical psychotherapy experience and 30 years of energy mastery to our partnership. My background includes serving as the Lead Reiki Practitioner at St Mary's Hospice, where I worked in oncology and end-of-life care, which deeply informed my compassionate, somatic approach to the human spirit.
