Welcome to Wisteria Talking Therapy

Trauma-Informed Counselling for Personal Growth and Well-being

Hi, I'm Sally.

 

As a trauma-informed practitioner who has personally experienced trauma, I am acutely aware of the ways in which trauma and chronic stress can impact individuals and their lives. I recognise the neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ community can often be exposed to frequent negative exposures and or traumatic events and recognise the impact this has on their own personal wellbeing and resilience.

 

My approach prioritizes the establishment of a safe and supportive environment that facilitates healing. By acknowledging the complexities of trauma, and its effects I guide clients in their experiences and cultivating resilience throughout their recovery journey.

​

In the absence of access to a trusted therapist, or a empathic caregiver, remaining in a state of fight or flight with unprocessed emotions can profoundly impact the nervous system, potentially resulting in long-term health complications.  

 

​Effective healing often necessitates support through therapy, self-care, and the cultivation of safe relationships that foster emotional resilience recovery. With this in mind, I offer my clients empathy that nurtures connection and empowers healing, allowing them to their challenges with hope, compassion, self-acceptance, and renewed resilience.

​

I work with older teens and adults that have experienced adverse childhood experiences. Suffered losses, experienced bereavement, life changes and stages, estranged families, divorce and separation, blended family dynamics, abusive relationships and living with neurodiversity and co morbidities.

How talking therapy works

In our sessions, we’ll explore how and where your challenges are impacting your life, uncovering the thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that may be holding you back. Often, the struggles we face are rooted in long-held beliefs or past experiences that affect us without us even realising it. Together, we’ll shine a light on these patterns, helping you understand what might be keeping you stuck. Many people find that even this exploration alone begins the process of change.

What does it feel like?

For many, therapy can feel tough and at the same time empowering, like a weight has been lifted. You’ll leave each session feeling understood, with a clearer perspective on your emotions and a renewed sense of control over your life. Over time, it can feel as though you’re naturally moving forward, equipped with new ways of thinking and handling life’s difficulties.

As we work together, the changes will feel conscious—gradual, but deeply transformative. You’ll begin to see the path ahead with more clarity, and the struggles that once seemed overwhelming will start to feel like distant memories. You’ve always had the strength to grow and overcome, and therapy is here to guide you through that process, with a few signposts along the way.

Free 15-Minute Consultation

Finding the right therapist is important. That’s why I offer a free consultation, either over the phone or online, to help us get to know each other and determine if we’re a good fit. 

Book Your Session

Once we’ve had our initial chat, we can arrange a session time that works for both of us. Whether you're looking for a one-off conversation or ongoing support, we’ll create a plan that meets your needs.

A Safe and Confidential Space

​I provide a safe, confidential, and supportive environment where you can speak freely, without fear of judgment. Whether we meet online or in person, my priority is making sure you feel heard and understood.

A word from the Psychologists

Carl R Rogers

“ The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change”.

C.G.Jung

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams, who looks inside, awakes.”

Carl Gustav Jung

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become”
