That Girl Needs Therapy

11/09/2025

The feeling of being seen can be complicated - something we may crave and fear simultaneously. To feel truly seen and understood can feel unbearably vulnerable for those who are unfamiliar, yet it's often the very thing they're fighting for.

Are you feeling burnt out or stuck in survival mode? You don’t have to overcome this alone.

Whether you’re navigating illness, stress, people-pleasing patterns, or the weight of unresolved trauma, I’m here to support you with compassion and calming tools to guide you towards connection and wellbeing.

In our work together, we’ll gently explore what’s been holding you back and help you reconnect with your inner sense of safety, clarity, and purpose. I offer a trauma-informed, somatic approach that honours your pace and your lived experience — whether that’s through creative art therapy, EFT tapping, or somatic tools for emotional regulation. Together, we’ll find what works for you.

I support clients navigating a range of experiences, including:
Burnout and overwhelm
Anxiety and depression
Family or relationship dynamics
Trauma recovery
Chronic stress and disconnection
People-pleasing

If you’ve been surviving on empty or feeling like you’re just "holding it together," this is your invitation to soften, to be held, and to rebuild.

Would you like to learn how to reduce stress and join our live tapping event?

Sometimes our emotions are the biggest cause of our nervous system dysregulation. Learning how to work through our emotions rather than suppressing them is such an invaluable part of our overall wellbeing.

EFT (tapping) is a great technique that can do just that. Best of all it's easy to learn and easy to do! It's an incredibly empowering and accessible tool.

Under the guidance of a trained facilitator, Clinical EFT has proven to relieve symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, phobias, pain and cravings.

It can stimulate the vagus nerve and calm the amygdala, promoting relaxation, decrease resting heart rate, blood pressure, reduce cortisol levels and inflammation, and improve concentration and cognitive function.

That's why we've invited you to join our live event to learn how to use EFT tapping.

Sunday 26th of November 4pm AWST/7pm EST, live on Zoom. Only $30. Book in with

🤗✨ What do you do when you're in your groove?

One of the best things for me since finding safety and stability is the energy and freedom to express my creativity!!!

Now that I'm not living in a state of hypervigilance and stress, I sleep better, feel healthier, and have more energy for the things that I love.

I'm no longer living in survival mode and sending all of my resources to finding safety. I'm not burnt out or worn down like before.

A challenging part of living through DV was feeling like I had lost myself by losing my connection to inspiration and creativity. It wasn't lost forever, but while I was in so much stress, I couldn't find the joy anymore. It was just one more thing crushing my spirit.

It took me some time to feel myself again. Each day I made a commitment to myself and to my healing. I moved towards the things that used to bring me joy and discovered new sources of connection.

To keep myself determined, I reminded myself that I am here to thrive, not simply survive. It reminded me to be accountable for my choices and to create the world I want for myself. I'm lucky enough to have the privilege to do that for myself now.

With my fundamental needs for safety and connection being met, I now have the energy to feel inspired and passionate again, and it's so exciting for me!!!

I can't wait to share with you the new projects I have underway!

✨ What do you do with your creative energy and inspiration?

💕 CLIENT LOVE 💕

“I have just finished an EFT session with Ash and I am feeling so serene and clear-minded. After a very troubling 6 months, I am holding a lot of physical and emotional tension and I can feel it softening and evaporating already.

Ash is so knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and this makes her guidance magical. Thank you Ash for holding space while I continue along my healing journey.”

✨ Hearing about the ways you're all growing and healing is what makes this work so rewarding for me. I absolutely love holding space for everyone to move through their emotions.

🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ Hands up if you're a recovering people pleaser too.

Are you still learning how to stay true to your "no"? Becoming more comfortable with disappointing people? For some of us, it's a lifelong practice of choosing yourself first 💕 I'm with you

People-pleasers are often seen as helpful and kind, but as Will realised at 28, being one has come at the expense of his identity and self-esteem.

📣 Say it with me, "I am safe, right here, right now!"

This is one of my most used phrases when tapping with clients. I even say it to myself when I sense anxiety in my body.

When you find yourself catastrophising or ruminating on painful memories, give yourself a hug and say "In this exact moment, I am safe in my body. I am safe, right here, right now!"

You will notice your body soften and your breath deepen.

Finding a sense of safety in the present moment is essential for your body to move into the relaxation response for healing and connection.
