Distressing or traumatic work experiences

If you want to heal from distressing and harmful work experiences, you are in the right place.

Perhaps there was a moment that felt threatening, unsafe, or humiliating. Or perhaps it wasn’t one single event, but the slow drip of criticism, undermining, self-abandonment, powerlessness that that slowly wore down your confidence and affected your mental health.

You may have experienced (this list is not exhaustive):

  • Persistent workplace stress or pressure to perform

  • Negative self-beliefs that affect you at work

  • Difficult relationships with colleagues or managers

  • Toxic workplace cultures

  • Bullying, harassment, or discrimination

  • Constructive dismissal or unfair dismissal

  • Difficult redundancy processes

  • Work-related traumatic incidents (such as accidents, assaults, witnessing injury or death)

  • Indirect trauma exposure (through reviewing distressing material or supporting others through traumatic experiences).

Have these experiences left you feeling anxious, on edge, self-critical, preoccupied, overwhelmed, unsafe, or hypervigilant – even outside of work? If you're ready to reclaim your safety, clarity, confidence, and strength, I'm here to help you.
