Trauma - the Well Beans Way

---

I’ve spent over a decade working with complex trauma,  the kind that doesn’t always come with neat labels or timelines. The kind that quietly rewires your nervous system, your relationships, and the story you tell yourself about who you are. I bring brain-based insight to help you see the human story behind the struggle, and I do it with warmth, humour, and a mild swear warning.

My work is grounded in trauma theory, attachment, family systems, and the science of how our brains and bodies store hurt and how we begin to feel safe again. But it’s also grounded in reality the kind where you overthink every conversation, feel like a walking contradiction, or try to out-achieve your way out of not-enoughness.

There are no “difficult clients” here. Just nervous systems doing their best in tough moments — humans who’ve learned to survive in ways that made sense at the time. Shame isn’t a tool I use. Curiosity is.

This space is for people who need coaxing out of the other side and are now asking, “What the hell do I do now? And who the hell am I?”

I believe therapy should feel human, not clinical, rigid, or like a self-improvement project. We’ll talk. We’ll question. We’ll laugh sometimes. We’ll explore what safety, identity, and regulation might look like for you.

I’m not the expert on you — I’m your co-regulator, internal BS interpreter, and part-time nervous system translator.

Brains are weird. Therapy shouldn't be
