Are You Maxed Out, Reacting More Than You’d Like, and Wondering If You’re Broken?
Whether it’s snapping at your kids or spiralling through waves of emotion, it can feel like too much.
Like you’re the only one who can’t keep it together.
Like you’re failing: at parenting, at healing, at just…being okay.
Maybe you lose it, even when you swore you wouldn’t.
Maybe your body feels like it’s always on high alert and you don’t know how to turn it off.
Maybe you’re tired of being told to “just stay calm” when no one ever taught you how.
Or maybe you’re carrying shame that keeps telling you it’s too late to change.
You’re not broken. And you’re not alone.
Whether you're navigating the chaos of raising small humans, or the ache of trauma that still lives in your body;
this is a place for real, emotionally honest support.
Here, you’ll find:
Therapy that understands trauma - from a psychologist specialising in DBT and EMDR, with tools for both coping now and healing long-term.
Parenting support that focuses on you - practical emotion regulation skills so you can stop yelling, feel calmer, and connect more with your kids.
Start where you are.
Choose the path that fits.
And let’s walk it together: gently, steadily, with the tools you’ve always deserved.

What You’ll Find Here That’s Hard to Find Elsewhere
Evidence-Based & Tailored
Whether it’s trauma therapy or parenting support, everything is grounded in evidence-based approaches, like DBT and EMDR, adapted to fit you, not a one-size-fits-all model.
Practical Tools You Can Use Straight Away
From your very first session or resource, you’ll walk away with coping skills you can use in real life, whether that’s calming a flashback or staying steady during a toddler meltdown.
You Set the Pace
This isn’t about rushing or pressure. We go at your speed, whether you’re unpacking trauma or learning to pause before yelling. Change is steady, safe, and realistic for your life.
Â
Safety & Validation First
You deserve to feel seen and supported without judgment. Whether you’re a parent worn thin or an adult carrying trauma, this is a space built on safety, compassion, and trust.
Â
Empowerment Through Understanding
You’ll learn how your brain and body respond to stress and emotions, and how to shift those patterns. Understanding brings compassion, confidence, and change that lasts.
Real Support, Rooted in Therapy and Skills That Meet You Where You Are
Overwhelm can show up in different ways: spiralling emotions that feel impossible to manage, or snapping at your kids when you swore you wouldn’t. Either way, it leaves you drained, ashamed, and wondering if change is even possible.
Here, support is designed to meet you where you are.
Sometimes that means 1:1 therapy to gently process trauma, make sense of emotions, and move forward at your own pace.
Sometimes it means practical, everyday tools to help you pause before yelling and build calmer connections at home.
There’s no rigid formula here, just consistent, safe support that adapts as you do.

The best part of my work is seeing people feel calmer, prouder, and more connected, whether that’s adults healing from trauma or parents building a more peaceful home. Here’s what some of my clients have shared.....
L.
I went to Dr Sutton for help regarding a previous medical trauma which was making me avoid certain tasks due to fear. She was so warm and supportive and set me at ease so quickly. Her recommended treatment was right on the money and after a few sessions of EMDR with Dr Sutton and my fear is gone!
L.Â
Nicola is genuinely kind and compassionate. She truly cares about my wellbeing. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled psychologist. I am deeply appreciative of the positive impact she have had on my life.Â
P.Â
I found Dr Sutton extremely helpful and supportive, which allowed me to openly discuss anxiety and the ways to deal with it and focus the mind. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Sutton to anyone to allow them easy access to assist them in their own emotional and mental wellbeing in the future.
