This is a space where I share reflections, insights, and resources on the things I care deeply about, including trauma, eating issues, relationships, identity, and healing.

I pride myself on writing posts that are not only thoughtful and compassionate, but also grounded in solid research and evidence-based practice (I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a research nerd!).

Whether you’re here to learn, reflect, or feel a little more understood, I’m really glad you’ve found your way here.

This in-depth, easy-to-understand guide explores the neuroscience behind traumatic memory, fragmentation theory, and therapy options including CBT, EMDR, and person-centred therapy. Includes UK-based support resources for trauma and PTSD survivors.
