Why I Do This Work
I’m a Complex PTSD Trauma-Informed Practitioner specialising in Somatic Therapy, and I’m also trained in:
•CBT, Talking Therapies, and Mindshifting
•Psychology & Criminology (BA Hons)
•Trauma-Informed Coaching
•Substance Use & Mental Health
•And I’ve worked as both an IDVA (Independent Domestic Violence Advisor) and an ISVA (Independent Sexual Violence Advisor)
My background also includes frontline work with:
•Human trafficking and sexual exploitation
•Domestic servitude and forced labour
•Children’s and adult mental health services
•Survivors of complex, compounded trauma
But none of those titles matter if I can’t meet you where you are — in the mess, in the burnout, in the “I can’t keep doing this” space. That’s where I work best. That’s who I’m here for.
Hi, I'm Jo
I Know What It’s Like To Be Let Down.
Not just by people — but by the system.
By therapists who couldn’t hold it.
By trauma methods that left me feeling more broken, not less.
By professionals who meant well but couldn’t meet me in the places I needed it most.
I’ve lived through complex trauma. I’ve hit the wall, the floor, and everything in between. And like you, I got tired of being the one who had to hold it all together.
After years of trying therapy after therapy — some of which helped a little, most of which didn’t — I found Somatic Therapy. That changed everything.
For the first time, my body was in the room. And for the first time, the healing stuck.
