Trauma Informed Coaching

Understanding Trauma-Informed Coaching: Healing Through Compassion and Connection In today’s fast-paced world, many of us carry invisible wounds — experiences from the past that shape how we think, feel, and respond to life. Trauma-informed coaching is a powerful approach that honours those experiences and creates a safe, supportive space for healing and transformation. #### 🌿 What Is Trauma-Informed Coaching? Trauma-informed coaching goes beyond traditional coaching models. It recognises that trauma — whether from childhood, relationships, illness, or other life events — can impact a person’s nervous system, beliefs, behaviour, and sense of self. Rather than focusing solely on goals or performance, a trauma-informed coach meets you with empathy, awareness, and an understanding of how trauma lives in the body and mind. This approach is not therapy, but it is deeply therapeutic. It bridges personal development with emotional healing, helping you move forward without retraumatising or pushing through pain. #### 🌀 Core Principles of Trauma-Informed Coaching 1. Safety First Emotional and psychological safety is the foundation. In our sessions, you are always in control. We move at your pace and honour your capacity. 2. Choice and Empowerment You are the expert in your own life. Trauma-informed coaching supports your agency, helping you reconnect with your inner voice and reclaim your power. 3. Curiosity over Judgment We explore patterns, responses, and emotions with compassion and curiosity — never blame or shame. 4. Mind-Body Awareness Trauma often disconnects us from our bodies. Through grounding, breathwork, and gentle inquiry, we begin to rebuild trust with the body and the present moment. #### 💫 Who Can Benefit? Trauma-informed coaching is for anyone who: - Feels stuck in certain patterns or emotions - Has done talk therapy but seeks a more embodied, holistic approach - Is navigating life after loss, illness, or change - Wants to build resilience and emotional regulation - Longs to reconnect with their intuition, identity, and sense of purpose #### 🌺 What You Can Expect In trauma-informed coaching, you’ll find a space where your story is honoured — not judged or rushed. We may work with tools like: - Nervous system regulation practices - Somatic awareness and grounding techniques - Belief system rewiring - Inner child connection - Values and vision alignment - Mindful goal-setting rooted in safety, not pressure This is not about "fixing" you — because you are not broken. It's about walking with you as you rediscover your strength, wholeness, and inner wisdom. #### 🕯️ A Sacred Space to Be Seen and Held If you're curious about trauma-informed coaching, I invite you to reach out.
