Understanding Yourself More Deeply

InnerLight offers a space for adults living with the effects of trauma, sexual abuse, difficult relationship experiences and attachment issues. My work is rooted in safety, curiosity and collaboration, creating space to slow down and explore what may be happening beneath the surface.

You may want to make sense of patterns that have developed over time, understand yourself more deeply, or reconnect with parts of yourself that have become lost or overshadowed by past experiences. There is no prescribed route or expectation of what your journey should look like.

My holistic approach draws on EMDR, relational therapy and parts-based work, alongside an understanding of the nervous system and the ways our experiences can shape how we relate to ourselves and others. Together, we can explore what you are carrying at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of your unique experience.

About Me

A little about who I am and how I work

Hello, I'm Susanna. I'm a BACP Accredited Counsellor and EMDR Therapist, and I've spent many years working alongside adults who have experienced trauma, abuse, difficult relationships and other experiences that have left them struggling to make sense of themselves or their lives.

Over time, I've come to see therapy as much more than finding ways to manage symptoms or put difficult experiences behind us. Often, what brings someone to therapy is only part of the story. There may be patterns, emotions, relationships, memories or parts of ourselves beneath the surface that help make sense of what we're experiencing in the present.

I bring my knowledge, experience and therapeutic skills to our work, while recognising that you are the person who knows your own experience from the inside. Rather than following a fixed formula, we can be guided by what feels meaningful and relevant to you. Sometimes that may involve EMDR or parts-based work; sometimes a conversation, an image, a memory, a feeling or something that emerges between us may open up another way of understanding what is happening.

For me, therapy is a collaborative process. It's not about me having the answers for you, but about creating the space, relationship and conditions in which you can begin to discover more of your own.

How I Work & What I Offer

My approach

My work is rooted in trauma-informed, relational practice, with the understanding that there is no single way of working that will suit everyone. I bring together the approaches and experience that I have developed over the years, including EMDR, parts-based work and relational therapy, drawing on them when they feel relevant to what you are experiencing.

Rather than fitting you into a particular model, we can pay attention to what is happening for you and explore what might be helpful. This might involve making sense of attachment patterns, understanding how past experiences continue to shape the present, or simply creating space to notice and understand something that has been difficult to put into words.

The work is collaborative and grounded in safety, curiosity and choice. We can slow down when needed, follow what feels meaningful, and allow the process to develop in a way that respects your individual experience.

My services

I work with adults experiencing the effects of trauma, sexual abuse, difficult relationships, attachment difficulties and other experiences that may be affecting how they feel, think, relate or make sense of themselves.

Some people come specifically looking for EMDR. For others, EMDR may become part of a broader therapeutic process. Our work might include relational therapy, parts-based work, exploring patterns and relationships, or simply beginning with what feels most important to you right now.

You don't need to know which approach you need before you begin. We can talk about what brings you to InnerLight and work out together what feels like the right place to start. Sessions are available online or in person in Wincanton.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact me if you are unable to find the answer to your question

What about your qualifications?

My professional qualifications and registrations are listed in full on my BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) profile.

What about your experience?

I have worked as a trauma‑informed therapist for over 10 years, supporting adults living with the effects of trauma, sexual abuse, relational wounds, and long‑standing emotional patterns. My experience includes extensive work with survivors of abuse, neglect, and complex relational histories.

How do I know what Therapy is right for me?

Your needs and goals will guide the approach we use. During the 30‑minute initial consultation (£30), we explore what you’re hoping to work on and identify the therapeutic direction that feels like the best fit for you.

Do you offer in-person Therapy sessions?

Yes. I offer in‑person sessions from my home office. Online sessions are available via Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, WhatsApp, or by telephone.

How often are my Therapy sessions?

I offer weekly sessions as standard, as this provides the consistency needed for effective therapeutic work. Returning clients are welcome to book brief therapy blocks or occasional check‑ins if something specific arises or they’d like a review.

Can I book a set number of sessions?

Yes. I offer time‑limited and brief therapy packages if you prefer a set number of sessions. We can discuss what might suit you best during the initial consultation. Please note that advance payments for packages are non‑refundable.

How do I book?

You can get in touch through the contact form on my website or by sending me a direct message. I’ll respond with available times and guide you through the next steps.

Do you offer concessionary rates?

I don’t currently offer concessionary rates. If you’re experiencing financial hardship, I can signpost you to low‑cost or free support within the voluntary sector or NHS services.

How do I pay?

Payment is made in full prior to your session via bank transfer. Payment details are provided once we’ve agreed an appointment time.

What happens if I am unable to attend a session?

Sessions missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice are non‑refundable. In the unlikely event that I need to cancel, your session will be rescheduled at no additional cost.

Is This Work Right For You?

People often come to InnerLight when they feel that something is stuck, overwhelming, or more difficult than it seems it should be. You may notice repeating patterns in relationships, experience anxiety that feels hard to understand, or carry experiences that still feel difficult to make sense of. Sometimes, the impact of earlier relationships or attachment experiences continues to shape the present in ways that aren't immediately apparent.

You don't need to have perfect words or a fully formed story — just a sense that something within you needs attention, understanding or care. If this resonates with you, reaching out could be the first step towards feeling more steady and connected. We can begin wherever you are, and explore together what might be underneath the patterns, feelings or experiences you're carrying.
