HAVENING TECHNIQUES®

LIFE COACHING

Through Compassionate Inquiry, we dive beneath the surface to uncover the hidden patterns quietly directing your life from the shadows of your nervous system. This isn't about analyzing or intellectualizing—it's about creating a space where you can safely meet what your body and spirit have been carrying, often for decades. Together, we'll gently approach these stored experiences with curiosity rather than judgment, allowing triggers to soften and reactive cycles to unwind at their own pace.

My clients consistently discover that profound healing emerges not from forcing change or escaping discomfort, but from being truly witnessed as they encounter their most challenging emotions. When you're genuinely supported to sit with what is—without rushing to fix or banish it—your system naturally moves toward restoration and integration, creating space for a more authentic way of being.

Havening is a hands-on Psychosensory Therapy that focuses specifically on Trauma and re-wiring the brain's response to Traumatic memories. Havening Touch can be used to delink the emotional response/reactions to the memory of the trauma and to support people to process and unburden deep rooted, suppressed feelings.

This type of therapy is very gentle and safe, yet rapidly effective for treating trauma, anxiety, depression and phobias. It can also relieve stress and is highly effective in enhancing well-being and resilience. This process ultimately leaves you feeling less reactive, more confident, and grants you a lasting sense of freedom.

Life coaching isn't about quick fixes or empty promises. It's about getting real with where you are right now and creating intentional change. I'll help you cut through the noise to recognise your unique strengths—the ones you might be overlooking—and identify what truly matters to you, not what others expect.

The work isn't always comfortable; breaking free from ingrained patterns rarely is. But when you start living from a place of genuine alignment rather than autopilot or obligation, you access a clarity and purpose that transforms how you show up in your life.

COMPASSIONATE INQUIRY

INNER CHILD WORK

I always emphasise to my clients that healing isn't about improving or trying to fix ourselves. True healing is welcoming and turning towards all our different parts and understanding the story behind them.

Inner child work is a helpful technique for healing trauma because it focuses on understanding and nurturing the part of you that holds past feelings and experiences. By connecting with your inner child you can acknowledge and process emotions that may have been ignored or suppressed.This process helps you heal old wounds, develop self-compassion, and create healthier patterns in your life for yourself and your children.

PROCESS AND RELEASE

Identify the struggle, whats going on for you, when did this start? What would you like to change, how do you want to feel?

Explore the different layers of trauma and how these have influenced and defined the way you show up in the world. Understand the meaning you gave to the events that took place and find the belief that underpins the behaviour, anxieties and reactive patterns you now experience as a result.

Using a range of Havening Techniques® and through compassionate inquiry we remove the emotional reaction and triggers that keep you bound to any trauma and past experiences. I can then assist you to release any remaining layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body. From here I will help you gain new perspectives and insights about the experience, creating new choices and ways of being.

Client Feedback

"Life changing support."

"I have gained a sense of acceptance and calmness that I didn't have before."

"I Have been dealing with pain for a long time and was told by doctors that I’d need ongoing treatment just to get by. It was frustrating, and I felt like there was no end in sight.

When I started working with Alice, things really started to shift. Alice not only provided a safe and supportive space but she was also incredibly informative throughout the entire process. Her ability to clearly explain complex emotions and trauma in a way that made sense to me was invaluable. It helped me understand what I was going through and why, which made the healing journey so much smoother.

Since then, I’ve seen big changes. The pain I had been experiencing has reduced significantly, communication in my relationships have opened up, and I’m seeing things with a fresh perspective. I honestly feel like a weight has been lifted, and I’m really grateful for the difference this has made."

"My journey with Alice has had a big impact on me. Before doing therapy with Alice, I had done therapy with other therapists. Although past therapy had been useful, I felt like the improvement was temporary. With other therapists, we worked on how I was feeling in that specific moment, without speaking much or addressing what had caused me feeling like that (events that had happened years ago). So, eventually, those feelings would come back.

I am very grateful for having met Alice and for doing therapy with her. I think the work we have done together has helped me heal some wounds that I've had for many years. I also feel like my body has learned how to stay calm when I remember those or similar events, or when something in the present reminds me of that (even though in the past it would have triggered a strong emotional response). I am truly grateful for this. I have gained a sense of acceptance and calmness that I didn't have before, and I'm truly grateful for it."
