About Me

“The type of person you wish you were, is the person you really are, but haven’t yet learned to be.” – Penny Parks

A Warm Welcome to A.I.M Trauma Therapy

My name is Jody and I’m a compassionate and experienced trauma therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate the effects of trauma, PTSD, and emotional distress. I believe that healing is possible for everyone, and my approach is rooted in authenticity, empathy, and collaboration. Trauma can deeply impact the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. That’s why I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, build inner resources, and recover your sense of self.

Every healing journey is unique, and I tailor therapy to meet your specific needs, experiences, and goals.

Trauma Therapy can help by:

  • Reduce trauma-related distress & emotional overwhelm
  • Developing healthier coping strategies for anxiety & triggers
  • Reframing self-limiting beliefs & improve self-esteem
  • Healing past wounds and build emotional resilience
  • Improving relationships & emotional connections

Healing does not mean forgetting—it means finding a way to carry your experiences with self-compassion, and renewed hope.

I work with adults, young people, and families who are experiencing the emotional and psychological impact of trauma. Whether you’re struggling with a single traumatic event or ongoing complex trauma, I am here to support you every step of the way.

Why Work With Me?

  • Trauma-Informed & Evidence-Based – I use clinically proven methods tailored to your unique needs.
  • Compassionate & Non-Judgmental – Your healing journey is yours, and I’m here to support you at your own pace.
  • Flexible Therapy Options – Sessions are available online or in-person, long term or intensive making therapy accessible no matter where you are.
  • Holistic & Personalised – I don’t just focus on symptoms; we work together towards meaningful, long-lasting change.

Let’s Start Your Healing Journey Together

I know that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do this alone. Whether you’re looking for trauma therapy, PTSD treatment, or a safe space to process your emotions, I am here to support you.

Contact me today to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward healing.
