How Can Brainspotting Help You?
Imagine a healing approach that allows your mind and body to gently release the weight of past pain and unprocessed memories, all while feeling safe and deeply understood. This is what Brainspotting offers—a therapeutic method that goes beyond words, helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that may feel stuck or wounded. With Brainspotting, we tap into your brain's innate ability to heal, drawing on the wisdom that is uniquely yours.
Exploring these deeper places can feel daunting, and that’s okay. Brainspotting allows you to work at a pace that feels just right for you. There’s no need to push or hurry—healing takes time, and everyone deserves the space to process the challenging and the unknown. As we focus on your brainspot, we’ll sit quietly with whatever arises—be it an emotion, a memory, or even a subtle sensation in your body. This gentle approach honours your personal journey, allowing your body and mind to collaborate in releasing what may have felt held for years.
Perhaps the most empowering aspect of Brainspotting is discovering that you already hold the power to heal. This approach unlocks your brain’s natural capacity, helping you regain a sense of peace, clarity, and wholeness. I’m here to walk alongside you on this journey, providing a safe and supportive space where your intuition and inner resources can shine through.

Brainspotting and Trauma
We each have a unique and complex system with multiple nervous systems, that are constantly processing and filtering out the information we receive through our senses. However, traumatic experiences, particularly those from early childhood, are often dissociated or filtered out and stored in a type of conceptual capsule within the nervous system. These stored experiences influence our beliefs, thoughts, physical sensations, and overall well-being—often without our conscious awareness.
When these unprocessed experiences resurface, they frequently appear as bodily sensations, somatic flashbacks, sensory experiences, pain, or numbness rather than clear, coherent memories. Because these physiological responses lack a cognitive memory or context, they can feel overwhelming, confusing, or even alarming. These sensations are often displaced onto present-day situations or present as health symptoms, making it difficult to connect the dots or fully understand their origins.
By integrating Relational therapy with Parts Work and Brainspotting, I will support you in gently reassociating with dissociated experiences. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you are offered the time, patience, and compassion you need to connect with the core of the issues so you can release difficult experiences. This work can help bring more calm, clarity, and ease into your system, allowing you to move forward with a greater sense of peace, understanding and wholeness.
What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting, was discovered by Dr David Grand in 2003, when he noticed was impacted in different ways depending on where she looked. Brainspotting therapy harnesses the brain’s natural ability to heal trauma by focusing on specific internal experiences connected to eye locations in the visual field. This therapy activates the brain’s “neuroexperiential” process, helping it rewire and recover both physically and emotionally.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, Brainspotting targets deeper brain regions responsible for emotions and instincts, often unaffected by logic alone. By finding a “brainspot” (a specific point in your visual field), it gently releases stored trauma without reliving it, calming emotional responses and easing symptoms like fear, anxiety, or physical discomfort.
If you feel stuck, have challenges with certain relationships or situations, performance blocks, sensory overwhelm, or have unanswered questions, Brainspotting offers a safe space for your mind and body to connect with what it needs to heal and grow. For more information, please get in touch.
