Senior UKCP Integrative Psychotherapist | Clinical Supervisor | Specialist in Neuro-Somatic & Complex Trauma Recovery

Clinical Philosophy & Therapeutic Approach

I am a Senior UKCP Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor with 14 years of formal UKCP accreditation, over 20 years of clinical psychotherapeutic depth, and 30 years of somatic mastery. My practice, Awaken Inner Sense, bridges high-level psychodynamic theory and outcome-oriented psychotherapies with advanced neuro-somatic regulation.

Many of the individuals I work with—particularly highly articulate leaders, creatives, neurodivergent women, and survivors of complex, multi-dimensional trauma—are exceptionally verbal but somatically disconnected. They often have profound cognitive insight and "know" the intellectual theory of their distress, yet their nervous systems remain chronically dysregulated. I view trauma not as a cognitive issue to be managed through conversation alone, but as a stored systemic imprint across the autonomic architecture. My approach moves clients out of chronic fight, flight, freeze, or fawn survival loops to restore genuine, baseline safety at a cellular level.

Primary Clinical Specialisations
• Intertwined Complex Trauma Resolution: Safely navigating and untangling highly layered, multi-dimensional systems where two or more distinct clinical niches or life crises collide (e.g., unmasking late-identified neurodivergence while recovering from narcissistic abuse and endocrine/burnout exhaustion).
• Narcissistic Abuse & Relational Recovery: Dismantling chronic internalised shame, resolving the "fawn" survival adaptation, and reclaiming personal agency following prolonged relational trauma or post-narcissistic stress.
• The Neuro-Hormonal Intersection (Neuro-Menopause): Supporting the neurodivergent brain (ADHD/Autism) through major endocrine and hormonal transitions, targeting sensory overwhelm, brain fog, and executive fatigue.
• The "Unmasked Brain" (Neuro-Affirming Care): Specialising in the emotional integration, grief processing, and life restructuring that follows a late-life ADHD or Autistic diagnosis.
• High-Functioning Burnout & Autonomic Fatigue: Partnering with high-net-worth individuals, executives, and pioneers to resolve the deep-seated high-functioning anxiety and systemic collapse that standard coaching and cognitive therapies fail to reach.

Therapeutic Modalities
• Outcome-Oriented Psychotherapy: Evidence-based, psychodynamic clinical intervention focused on resolving early developmental conditioning and transgenerational trauma bonds.
• Neuro-Somatic Rewiring: Tracking autonomic nervous system states in real time to facilitate physical, bottom-up regulation.
• Subconscious Narrative Transformation: Hypno-psychotherapeutic frameworks designed to safely restructure deep unconscious defence mechanisms and implicit memory imprints.

Practice Structure & Onboarding Logistics
I work exclusively within deep-dive, highly boundaried 3-Month Clinical Containers designed to provide sustained containment, consistency, and pacing for intense trauma resolution.

To protect the clinical integrity and energetic boundaries of this work, I do not offer introductory or discovery calls. Onboarding and suitability screening are managed entirely via a secure digital intake process.

Structure: 6 intensive clinical sessions spaced strictly on a fortnightly rhythm over 3 months.
• Session Duration: 1.5 hours per therapeutic block.
• Clinical Allocation: Your initial comprehensive clinical consultation is built directly into the container as the first of your 6 sessions, allowing us to establish systemic mapping and begin deep clinical work immediately.
• Fixed Rhythm Commitment: To maintain the necessary therapeutic momentum, these sessions are dedicated exclusively to your system and cannot be paused, cancelled, or rearranged.

Pathway Options
• Singular Specialist Pathway 1: Dedicated to targeted trauma processing, singular neuro-affirming integration, or focused high-functioning burnout resolution.
• Intertwined Complex Trauma Pathway 2: A unified, multi-dimensional framework mandatory for highly layered systems where multiple clinical intersections overlap.

Clinical Supervision Services
As an accredited Clinical Supervisor with a Postgraduate Diploma (Master's Level) in Clinical Supervision, I provide specialist consults and guidance for senior practitioners, integrative therapists, and neurotherapists seeking to balance clinical rigour with advanced somatic and energy medicine modalities. I offer 1.5-hour neuro-somatic supervision.
