The Sacred Mind Psychologist

Sacred Somatic Wellness.

Welcome

Life is not linear.
It moves in cycles, of growth and contraction, clarity and confusion, ease and challenge. We evolve through breakthroughs, seasons of introspection, and moments that quietly reshape us. Some changes arrive gently. Others shake the foundations of who we believe ourselves to be.

Wellbeing exists when mind, body, and inner self are in truthful harmony. When aligned, we feel healthy, alive, hopeful, and connected. And then, inevitably, life happens. Stress, loss, anxiety, overwhelm, exhaustion, disconnection, physical tension, and fading motivation begin to appear. When this happens, restoring wellbeing alone can feel profoundly difficult.

As we now understand, the body keeps the score. Life pressures, family roles, expectations, responsibilities, and early experiences shape the patterns held within our nervous system. Schemas, attachments, and unresolved experiences can leave us stuck in cycles of tension, vigilance, or self-criticism. Life can be hard—and the body remembers.

Your body may already be speaking to you in subtle ways: through tightness, aches, shallow breath, disturbed sleep, or a persistent sense of unease. What are you carrying in your nervous system? Experiences from years ago may still be shaping your present, even when your conscious mind has moved on.

When wellbeing suffers, our energy, intuition, motivation, and sense of purpose can feel distant. Yet nothing is lost. Everything remains beneath the noise of stress, conditioning, and nervous-system overload, waiting to be accessed again.

Early patterns, attachment experiences, trauma, or inherited beliefs may still be influencing how you live today. Your body holds stories your mind cannot always name. And beneath it all, your inner wisdom quietly knows the way forward.

True wellbeing is the integration of psychological clarity, biological regulation, somatic presence, and soulful connection.

When these dimensions come together, something shifts. You feel grounded. You reconnect with your inner guidance. You begin to live with greater alignment, depth, and truth.

My work brings these elements together through:

  • Evidence-based psychology

  • Nervous system and somatic awareness

  • Energy and consciousness-informed practice

  • Feminine intuitive wisdom held within professional structure

Through 1:1 sessions, intuitive enquiry, and somatic psychological healing, I offer a space for you to understand yourself deeply, release what no longer serves you, and reconnect with the intelligence of your own inner knowing, supporting you towards sustainable, embodied wellbeing.

If something in you recognises this work, you are warmly invited to explore 1:1 sessions with me.

Alignment

Before choosing a wellness therapist, psychologist, or energy practitioner, it is important to consider alignment.

Psychology is a science-based discipline, rooted in research, theory, ethics, and many hours of professional practice. My work is firmly grounded in this evidence base. Alongside this, I also work with energy, not as a replacement for science, but as something that exists in parallel with it. Energy can be understood as life force: the organising intelligence that underpins cell formation, biological development, instinct, and survival. It is the conscious and unconscious knowing that runs through all living systems. We see it clearly throughout the animal kingdom.

Consider the amazing swift or the swallow, tiny physical forms that travel thousands of miles to Africa, and on arrival return not just to the same region, but often to the exact barns and buildings their ancestors used before them. They do not require proof. They move because they know. The salmon that one day senses it must swim upstream, against the current, scaling waterfall after waterfall, responds to the same deep energetic knowing. The sea turtle crossing oceans, the homing pigeon navigating invisible pathways, the wolf tracking across vast terrain, the octopus thinking with its whole body through neurons distributed in its arms, or the honeybee demonstrating collective intelligence through shared signalling. None of this is random. It is organised, precise, and purposeful.

This is energy as intelligence.

Energy, Nervous System, and Somatic Knowing

In humans, this intelligence is expressed most clearly through the nervous system. Complex, adaptive, and exquisitely sensitive, it is designed to detect safety and threat long before conscious thought intervenes. Living close to deer herds, I am often struck by their somatic awareness. They live without natural predators such as wolves or hounds, yet they remain deeply attuned to danger. They sense threat before it is visible and respond with precise, coordinated flight. Their survival depends not on overthinking, but on trusting their bodily cues.

Humans are no different. Our bodies hold ancestral and lived knowledge. When that system has been overloaded by stress, trauma, or prolonged vigilance, the signals can become distorted, but the intelligence itself is never lost. Somatic psychology works to restore access to this innate knowing. Energy work, when held ethically and alongside psychological understanding, supports the same aim: alignment between mind, body, and nervous system, so that choice, regulation, and trust can return.

Working in Alignment

Alignment means that science and embodied wisdom are not in conflict. One explains how; the other helps us feel when. Together, they allow us to move forward not through force, but through attunement. I work from this place, grounded in psychological science, informed by nervous system theory, and respectful of the deeper intelligence that exists within all soulful living beings. Because we don’t always need more proof, Sometimes, we need to learn how to listen again.

I hope we can connect and align.

    location:

    Cost: £12

    The Sacred Circle Experience is a transformative group session designed to support deep connection, intuitive guidance, and the release of energy blocks. Held in sacred, supportive spaces, this experience invites you to lie comfortably, allowing your body to soften and your mind to open. Through guided meditation, gentle somatic awareness, and intuitive channelling, the circle becomes a container for profound energetic awakening.

    In this shared space, you are guided to journey inward, connecting with your body, higher self and the energies that guide you. The ancient and universal wisdom may offer messages, symbols, or insights, which you are encouraged to receive and record through journaling or reflection. As you surrender into the experience, held by the circle and supported by the energy of others, your energy begins to move freely, unblocking tension and realigning your mind, body, and soul.

    The Sacred Circle Experience nurtures a profound sense of support and guidance. You leave with clarity, a strengthened connection to your intuition, and the knowing that you are part of the universal energy, fully supported in your journey. This space invites you to reconnect with your true purpose, awaken feminine power, and open to the life your soul is calling for.

    The session is designed to allow each participant to move at their own pace, respecting their inner process, while offering the shared resonance, energy, and magic of the circle. This is a space for insight, healing, guidance, and deep feminine reconnection , where the intelligence of the body, the heart, and the soul are honoured as one.

Working with a Psychologist offers more than support , it provides understanding. A Psychologist is trained to explore how your mind works, drawing on decades of research in human development, behaviour and neuroscience.

Unlike general counselling, psychology work helps you understand why you think, feel and act as you do, and how to create lasting change through evidence based strategies.

Why work with a Sacred, Somatic, Energy Psychologist?

Working with me is more than traditional therapy, it is a holistic mind-body-soul experience that blends psychological insight, somatic awareness, and soul awakening to support lasting transformation.

I bring together evidence-based developmental psychology, educating you on your nervous system, emotional awareness, trauma informed practice, energy work, and gentle movement to create a sacred container for your growth. Somatic practices may include soft mat stretches inspired by Pilates, or gentle neck, shoulder, and head massage to help release tension, opening your body and energy to flow freely.

My approach helps you understand how your life experiences are held in both the mind and body. Patterns of behaviour or emotional load can give insight. Tension and emotional energy often accumulate physically, in your shoulders, neck, jaw, or back, with no injury or medical origin. Through psychological enquiry, meditation, and energetic release, we can shift this energy, opening your body, mind, and spirit to greater clarity and ease.

We work with your knowing, your energy, your kundalini energy, moving through your chakras, awakening your intuition, and deepening your connection with your higher self. You are guided to receive messages, insights, and guidance from the Divine Universal wisdom that already resides within you. Together, we explore your inner guidance, creativity, and feminine intelligence, creating a bridge between your life on Earth and the wisdom of the universe.

The Mind Psychologist Model integrates the masculine mind , practical, doing, science, psychology, logic, reasoning, and analysis , with the feminine mind, intuition, creativity, being and embodied awareness. By combining these energies, we create a powerful alchemy that honours your whole self, supporting you to reconnect with your inner guidance, awaken your intuition, and align fully with your values, dreams, and soul’s purpose.

In this work, we look to the universe and science for our flow, our answers, and our guidance. We explore your relationship with yourself, uncover the wisdom that lies within, and open to the possibility of living fully aligned, in mind, body, and spirit. This is your journey to awakening, to feeling deeply, releasing what no longer serves you, and embracing the power, clarity, and beauty of your full self
