Somatically Empowered
Somatic Trauma-Informed Coaching and Hypnotherapy
Healing from narcissistic abuse starts with feeling safe enough to come back to yourself.
If you grew up with a narcissistic parent, you may have spent years questioning yourself.
Wondering whether you're good enough.
Feeling guilty for having needs.
Struggling to trust your own feelings.
Putting everyone else first.
Finding it difficult to say no.
Feeling responsible for other people's emotions.
Or simply wondering why, even though you're an adult now, you still don't feel safe inside yourself.
You are not broken.
Your nervous system learnt how to survive what you experienced.
And healing can begin when you learn that you no longer have to live in survival mode.
Hi, I'm Amanda
I'm a Somatic trauma-informed coach and hypnotherapist specialising in supporting adult children of narcissistic parents and narcissistic abuse.
This work is personal to me.
I've spent many years navigating the impact of narcissistic abuse and the ways childhood experiences can continue to shape the way we see ourselves, our relationships, our needs and our sense of safety.
My own healing journey has taught me something incredibly important:
Understanding what happened to you is only part of healing.
We also need to help the body feel safe enough to let go of the survival patterns it learned along the way.
That's where somatic work comes in.
I don't believe you need to be fixed.
I believe there is a reason you became the person you needed to be to survive and that, with the right support, you can begin to discover who you are when you no longer have to.
How I can support you
Somatic Coaching
A gentle, trauma-informed approach that helps you reconnect with your body, emotions, needs and boundaries.
Together we can explore the patterns that may have developed through narcissistic abuse, including people pleasing, self-abandonment, guilt, difficulty receiving, perfectionism, hypervigilance and feeling that your needs don't matter.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy can help you work with the deeper beliefs and patterns that sit beneath the surface.
Sessions are gentle and collaborative, helping you create new associations and beliefs that support person you're becoming.
A combination of both
Sometimes you need to understand the pattern.
Sometimes you need to feel it in your body.
Sometimes you need both.
Your sessions are shaped around you, rather than forcing you into a predetermined programme.

We'll work at a pace that feels managable for you.
There is no expectation that you arrive knowing exactly what you need.
You don't have to have the right words.
You don't have to have everything figured out.
You can simply arrive as you are.
You don't have to keep doing this alone.
Maybe you've spent your whole life being told, directly or indirectly, that your feelings were too much, your needs were inconvenient, or that you were the problem.
Healing can be the beginning of learning a different story.
One where your needs matter.
Where your boundaries are allowed to exist.
Where you can trust yourself.
Where you don't have to earn love.
Where you get to take up space.
If something here resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.
