A thoughtful pace for difficult experiences
Support that respects your story, boundaries and strengths.
Difficult or overwhelming experiences can continue to shape emotions, relationships and body responses long after the immediate situation has passed. You may notice hypervigilance, numbness, shame, disconnection, recurring memories or patterns that are hard to explain.
A trauma-informed approach recognises that safety, choice, trust and collaboration matter. You are not expected to share everything at once. Therapy can begin with what feels manageable and move at a pace that respects your boundaries.
What trauma-informed means here
- Your responses are approached with curiosity rather than judgement.
- You remain an active participant in decisions about the work.
- Mind, body, emotions and relationships can all be considered.
- Existing strengths and sources of support are part of the conversation.
- Stability and practical support are valued alongside deeper exploration.
An integrative and relational approach
Gianna’s approach draws from psychodynamic theory, emotion-focused therapy, somatic-informed practices, mindfulness and Choice (Reality) Theory. The work is personalised rather than forced into one method.
