Healing starts with Understanding
At Heart Felt Trauma Therapy, we believe emotional pain makes sense — when you understand where it began.
Our work goes beyond traditional counselling. We specialise in trauma-responsive talking therapy designed to uncover the emotional roots beneath anxiety, relationship struggles, overwhelm, and patterns that seem impossible to change.
Using our specialist Felt Trauma Therapy™ approach, we help you understand how early emotional experiences — often long forgotten or never fully recognised — continue to shape how you feel, respond, and relate today. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we work gently and carefully with the deeper emotional imprints that sit beneath them.
This is not therapy that rushes to fix you.
It is therapy that helps you finally make sense of yourself.
Our experienced therapists create a calm, containing space where you are met with understanding, not judgement. We recognise that trauma lives not just in memories, but in the nervous system, the body, and the way safety is experienced. Therapy, therefore, moves at a pace that protects dignity, builds trust, and allows real change to emerge naturally.
Our aim is simple but profound: to help you move from surviving life to feeling steady, connected, and emotionally secure within it.
You don’t need to know exactly what to say or where to begin. We will meet you where you are — and walk alongside you from there.
Our Unique Approach
Many people arrive at therapy having already tried to “figure it out.”
They understand their story — yet something still feels stuck.
At Heart Felt Trauma Therapy, we work differently. Through Felt Trauma Therapy™, healing begins with emotional understanding rather than diagnosis or quick fixes. We explore how early emotional messages shape your nervous system and quietly influence your thoughts, relationships, and sense of safety today.
Lasting change happens when the mind and body feel safe enough to heal. So we focus on creating that safety first.
Felt Trauma Therapy™ works at the level where emotional patterns are formed — not just where they are discussed. Instead of endlessly analysing the past or managing symptoms on the surface, we gently support your nervous system to experience regulation, stability, and connection in the present moment. As safety grows, old survival responses — anxiety, shutdown, people-pleasing, overwhelm — begin to loosen naturally.
Our work is collaborative, compassionate, and shaped around you — not fitted into a standard model or timeframe.
Because healing isn’t about becoming someone different.
It’s about finally feeling at home within yourself.
Testimonials
I cannot thank Bernadette enough. The help and support she has given me since the start of the year has assisted me through some of my biggest life changes! Anyone contemplating their services, I’ve had sessions with various people over the years and saw one counsellor for 5 years. None of my historic sessions have helped anywhere near as much as Bernadette has helped me. I feel like I know myself better than I ever have. Highly recommended and the venue is stunning with a real modern homely vibe.
I’ve had counselling on and off for years, but nothing has helped me as much as this. For the first time, I feel like I truly understand myself—why I feel the way I do and how it’s been affecting my life. The support I’ve received has helped me through some of the biggest changes I’ve faced, and I can’t thank the team enough.
I was nervous about starting therapy again, but from the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. It’s such a calm, welcoming space, and I’ve never felt judged or rushed. It really is one of the safest spaces I know.
The difference this has made is hard to put into words. I feel clearer, stronger, and more in control of my emotions than I ever have before. It’s not just been about talking—it’s about understanding, and that’s changed everything for me.
I’ve seen therapists in the past, but this felt different straight away. It’s more than just sessions—it’s a deeper level of understanding that actually stays with you. I feel like I know myself better than I ever have.
If you’re unsure about starting therapy, I would honestly say just take that first step. The support here is incredible, and the environment is so peaceful and reassuring. It’s helped me feel safe enough to open up and begin to make real changes.
