Life Skills | Self-Connection | Ongoing Support
You’re accomplished –
but something’s still holding you back
You’re accomplished, capable, and yet something feels off. The anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional disconnection you’re experiencing isn’t something to ‘fix’ – it’s information about patterns that have served you but may no longer fit who you’re becoming.
This work isn’t about transforming into someone new. It’s about developing the tools and self-connection that serve you at every stage of life – through career changes, relationship shifts, parenting challenges, aging parents, menopause, and whatever else life brings your way.
Specialised therapy for self-connection
Meet Sallyanne
A counsellor and psychotherapist with over a decade of experience, I now focus on working with women who are accomplished and capable—yet often carrying more than they show.
My training includes Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, The Richards Trauma Process (TRTP), and Metabolic Therapies—approaches that reach beneath the surface and support real integration.
Beyond qualifications, I bring presence, depth, and lived experience. I know the weight of expectations and what it’s like to keep going because others rely on you, even when something inside doesn’t feel right. I’ve learned to navigate these patterns in my own life and developed the skills to help other women do the same.
This is a space for reflection, steady support, and meaningful change. Here, you don’t have to hold it all together.
Who I support
is this you?
You’re driven, capable, and thoughtful. People rely on you. You keep things together. But behind the scenes, you’re tired of overthinking, overgiving, and feeling like it’s never enough.
You might be:
✓ STRUGGLING WITH SELF DOUBT...
Even though you appear confident to others, inside you feel unsure—constantly second-guessing yourself or waiting to be “found out.”
✓ CARRYING ANXIETY OR OLD EMOTIONAL WEIGHT...
You’ve achieved so much, but stress and overwhelm sit just under the surface—along with past experiences you’ve never fully processed.
✓ FEELING EMOTIONALLY DISCONNECTED OR LOST...
You go through the motions, but something feels off. You’re not fully connected to yourself, your needs, or your sense of ease.
✓ SEEKING TOOLS FOR INNER CALM AND CLARITY...
You want to develop skills for managing that constant internal pressure. You’re ready to build genuine capacity for navigating life.
MIND | BODY | SELF-CONNECTION
MY APPROACH
I integrate the most progressive evidence-based therapies – including Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, Metabolic Therapies and The Richards Trauma Process – to support you in developing tools that address mind, body, and self-connection.
Mind – Developing new relationships with thought patterns, emotions, and beliefs.
Body – Addressing stored trauma, nervous system regulation, and metabolic health.
Self – Supporting you to reconnect with your inner wisdom and authentic self.
"THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT COPING BETTER. IT'S ABOUT DEVELOPING REAL CAPACITY."
BRAINSPOTTING
A powerful, body-based technique that accesses and processes trauma and emotional pain that talking alone often can’t reach.
THE RICHARDS TRAUMA PROCESS (TRTP)
A structured, trauma-focused process that helps resolve past experiences at the nervous system level—without re-traumatising.
METABOLIC THERAPY
An innovative, holistic approach that supports mental health through brain-body strategies like nutritional therapy, lifestyle shifts, and energy balance.
DEEP WORK | REAL TOOLS | collaborative
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
This work is collaborative—and it asks something of you.
Building these tools and capacities doesn’t always take years. Sometimes insights happen quickly. Sometimes they develop over time. There’s no one path.
But what matters is that you’re open, engaged, and willing to show up—for as long as feels right for you.
You’ll be working with the most effective, evidence-based modalities for deep, meaningful growth and inner resource building. This isn’t surface-level. And it’s not about “fixing” you. It’s about reconnecting with who you are—developing clarity, ease, and emotional capacity.
If you bring your curiosity, courage, and commitment, I’ll bring the experience, presence, and tools to help you get where you want to go.
THIS COULD BE THE START OF RECONNECTING WITH YOURSELF

Naming the Invisible Work
Invisible labour is real — and heavy. This post explores the emotional and mental load many women carry daily, and why naming it is the first step to real change.
High Functioning, Still Struggling
Even high-functioning women can feel anxious, flat, or disconnected. This post explores what it means to struggle silently — and how therapy can help.
