TRAUMA Healing in Oxford with NARM Trauma Therapy, Craniosacral & ScarWork
In-person & Online Sessions for those ready to move beyond surface symptoms and understand what their bodies are holding.
Healing Developmental Trauma
Are you looking for trauma therapy in Oxford that goes beyond symptom management?
I offer a gentle, body-based approach to healing that combines NARM-Trauma Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy & ScarWork to support nervous system regulation and lasting change.
This work is for those experiencing anxiety, stress, chronic tension, trauma, or a sense of disconnection from the body and self.
Sessions are slow, attentive, and guided by your system’s capacity, supporting healing at a deeper level than talking therapy alone.

This work may be helpful if you experience:
Anxiety, ongoing stress, or feeling constantly on edge

How I work?A Somatic Approach to Trauma Therapy in Oxford
My work integrates four approaches:
NARM® Trauma Work - for trauma and relational patterns
Visionary Craniosacral Work® - to support nervous system regulation
ScarWork® - to release restrictions in scar tissue
Visceral Manipulation - to restore internal mobility
What is NARM® Trauma Work
NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model) is a trauma-informed approach designed for developmental trauma, C-PTSD, and chronic stress.
It is anchored in the present moment and doesn’t require reliving past events.
What is Visionary Craniosacral Work®
Visionary craniosacral work is a gentle, hands-on treatment that works with the nervous system. Using light touch, it helps release tension, support regulation, and restore balance in the body.
It may help with anxiety, stress, trauma, and chronic pain.
What is ScarWork®
ScarWork supports the healing of scar tissue from surgery or injury. Even years later, scars can create restriction, numbness, or discomfort.
This work helps restore movement, reduce pain, and reconnect sensation in the area.
What is Visceral Manipulation
Visceral manipulation is a specialised manual therapy that works with the organs (such as the digestive system) to improve mobility and reduce internal tension.
It may help with digestive issues, chronic pain, and restrictions following surgery.
What a Session Feels Like?
Trauma Therapy Sessions in Oxford (Talking + Body-Based Work)
Sessions begin with talking therapy in a calm, unhurried space. This allows us to explore what is present for you and what support your system needs.
From here, we may continue as a talking and somatic therapy session, or, if appropriate and supportive, we may include gentle Craniosacral Therapy on the treatment couch.
Any touch is always light, slow, and guided by your consent. You remain fully clothed throughout.
The aim is not to force change, but to support your nervous system in finding greater regulation, ease, and resilience over time.
NARM Somatic Therapy for Trauma and Emotional Patterns
NARM somatic therapy (NeuroAffective Relational Model) is a non-touch approach to trauma therapy offered online or in person in Oxford.
Rather than focusing on revisiting the past, NARM explores how early developmental trauma and chronic stress may still be shaping your present-day experience—such as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, low self-worth, or difficulty in relationships.
Through gentle somatic awareness, we track what is happening in the present moment—creating space for greater clarity, connection, and self-understanding.

A Different Way of Working with Trauma
From Survival to Self-Connection: A Gentle Return to Yourself
Just as clay is shaped by the conditions in which it is formed, our early experiences shape how we relate to ourselves and the world.
Some of these patterns were essential for survival, but may now feel limiting or exhausting.
This work is not about forcing change.
It is about creating the conditions in which your natural state of regulation, connection, and authenticity can emerge.
