Wildheart Therapy
Wildheart Therapy offers trauma‑informed counselling for women who have lived through experiences that still echo in the body, nervous system, and relationships. Together, we work gently and at your pace to rebuild safety, choice, and connection — within yourself and with others.
The Wildheart Approach
I offer a therapeutic approach grounded in evidence -based practice, that supports you to understand and heal from the impact of trauma on your body, mind and heart.
Wildheart is the part of us that knows how to breathe, feel, and belong. Through life’s hardships — loss, trauma, and the quiet accumulations of pain — this part can soften, hide, or fall silent as we learn to survive. In the space of therapy, the wildheart is not fixed or forced awake, but gently remembered, invited back into view, where it can stretch, heal, and find its own rhythm again.
You might be here because…
Many women I work with arrive feeling unsure whether therapy will help — or whether their experiences “count” as trauma.
You might recognise some of the following:
There are times you feel on edge, numb, or emotionally exhausted
Your body reacts even when your mind knows you are safe
You find trust, boundaries, or closeness in relationships difficult
Overthinking, self‑blame, or feeling disconnected from yourself
You’ve survived something that still lives in your nervous system
Talking about what happened feels overwhelming — or impossible
These responses are your bodies autonomic intelligent survival strategies shaped by what you’ve been through.
How I support healing
My approach integrates evidence‑based and body‑aware therapies, tailored to each woman’s needs:
Somatic therapy to gently work with what the body has been holding
Narrative therapy to loosen trauma‑shaped beliefs such as shame or self‑blame
Trauma‑sensitive practices that support regulation and grounding
Relational safety built through consistency, attunement, and trust
This work supports healing without overwhelm, re‑traumatisation, or pressure to “get better quickly.”

Hi I am Theresa
(she, her, hers)
What therapy with me is like
Trauma healing is not about pushing through or reliving the past. It is about creating enough safety in the present.
When we work together:
You set the pace — we move gently and intentionally
Safety comes first — before any trauma processing
Your body is listened to, not overridden
Choice and consent are central at every step
You don’t need to retell everything to heal
My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your own strength, clarity, and inner wisdom.
About Wildheart Therapy
Wildheart Therapy was created to offer women a therapeutic space that feels grounded, respectful, and deeply human.
I am an accredited social worker with extensive experience supporting women impacted by trauma. I work from a relational, trauma‑informed, and strengths‑based framework, informed by somatic and narrative practices.
I believe trauma responses make sense. Healing is not about becoming someone new — it’s about returning to yourself.
