Welcome to Becoming Ourselves


I am a writer, action researcher and teacher/speaker about the impact of developmental trauma and its healing.  My work is all about Becoming Ourselves, connecting with ourselves in a way that brings vitality and energy, freeing ourselves from our history as much as we can.

My most recent book 'Tangled Webs' is written for daughters who are in difficult or challenging relationships with their mothers. My intention is that it will help them untangle the relationship and become their own loving mother. It is currently awaiting publication.

My book 'Coaching and Trauma: Moving beyond the survival self' is the only book that brings trauma awareness to coaching and many readers have told me how valuable it has been to their work and themselves.  It is available as a book  from www.mheducation.co.uk and other online booksellers.  It is also available as an e-book.  For online workshops and blogs associated with coaching please go to www.coachingandtrauma.com. 

My first book was 'Therapist to Coach', written in 2005 for counsellors and therapists who wished to become coaches. It is still used in  training
programmes. As for all writing, I would write it differently now with the benefit of a further 17 years of practice but I am thrilled that some readers still find it useful.

Follow my facebook page BecomingOurselves on which I post and share articles and events about psychological trauma and healing.
