Embodied Connections

If your teenager is struggling with school, anxiety, emotional overwhelm or feeling misunderstood… this might be for you. 🤍

I'm a Somatic Therapist specialising in working with ADHD, autistic and neurodivergent teenagers who are struggling with:

✨ School anxiety and attendance difficulties
✨ Emotional dysregulation and meltdowns
✨ Masking and burnout
✨ Friendships and relationships
✨ Low self-esteem and confidence
✨ Trauma, attachment difficulties and CPTSD
✨ Anxiety, overwhelm and shutdown

My work combines Somatic Psychotherapy, EMDR and neurodivergent-affirming approaches, helping young people understand their nervous systems, process difficult experiences and develop ways to manage their emotions.

I focus on understanding what's underneath their struggles rather than simply trying to change their behaviour.

I work online with teenagers across the UK and currently have availability Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings.

DM me to arrange a free introductory call to discuss how I can support your teenager.

Fancy a little time for yourself? 💚

I offer monthly distant Reiki sessions, so wherever you are, you can get cosy at home while I do the session.

I work intuitively, focusing on clearing unwanted energy, balancing your chakras and cleansing your aura. You can share anything you’d like me to focus on, and I also work with what comes through during the session.

There’s a tarot card pull at the end too, for a little reflection and guidance ✨

I’m a fully qualified Reiki Master, intuitive and spiritual healer.

Sessions are £50 each.

If this is something you feel drawn to, pop me a message. I’d love to hear from you 🌿

Finding the right therapist matters.

Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all and sometimes talking about what's happened isn't enough to create change.

I specialise in working with teenagers, young people and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, emotional overwhelm, attachment difficulties and patterns that can feel incredibly difficult to shift.

I have over 20 years' experience supporting children and young people, and my approach is warm, relational and neurodivergent-affirming. I integrate talking therapy with somatic and nervous-system approaches, EMDR and EFT, depending on what feels right for the person I'm working with.

For teenagers, building trust comes first. They don't need to arrive knowing exactly how they feel or what they want to talk about. We start where they are.

And for adults, our work can go deeper than simply understanding why you feel the way you do exploring the patterns, experiences and nervous-system responses that may still be affecting your life and relationships today.

I currently have limited online spaces available for new clients.

You can now find my updated profile on Counselling Directory, where you can read more about how I work, my experience and the areas I specialise in.

Hi, I’m Jenny 🤍

If you're new here, I thought I'd reintroduce myself and share a little more about the work I do.

I'm a trauma-focused therapist specialising in somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, attachment wounds, and helping people heal the impact of difficult life experiences, dysfunctional family dynamics, and chronic stress.

The people I work with often come to me completely overwhelmed and find talk therapy hasn't helped and this is because beneath those experiences is a nervous system that has spent years trying to cope, protect, survive, and keep everything together.

This is where somatic therapy can be so powerful.

Rather than only talking about what happened, we gently explore how your experiences are being held in your body and nervous system today.

Together, we begin to build safety, increase capacity, and help your body learn that it doesn't have to stay stuck in survival mode.

For an overstimulated nervous system, this can mean learning how to recognise when you're becoming overwhelmed before you hit burnout, understanding why you struggle to rest even when you're exhausted, reducing anxiety and emotional overwhelm, and creating a greater sense of calm, grounding, and connection within yourself.

Because healing isn't just about understanding your story, it's about helping your nervous system experience something different.

If you've spent years feeling like you're carrying the weight of everything, constantly scanning for what might go wrong, people-pleasing, self-abandoning, or struggling to feel truly at ease, know that therapy can help.

You don't have to keep doing it all alone. I have 2 spaces starting in October for Online Therapy or EMDR.
