What is Brainspotting?

Unlock the body’s ability to heal itself through this powerful and transformative therapeutic approach. Brainspotting uses the connection between the brain, body, and field of vision to uncover and process unhealed trauma and stress. This cutting-edge modality promotes deep healing, enabling you to move beyond emotional and physical blockages and into a space of resolution and empowerment.

How Does Brainspotting Work?

Using a collaborative and non-judgmental approach, sessions are designed to:

  • The Brain-Body Connection: Trauma often bypasses logical thought and becomes embedded in the body and subcortical brain (the area responsible for emotions and survival). Brainspotting provides direct access to this deeper part of the brain.
  • The Visual Field Link: Specific spots in your visual field are directly connected to areas of unresolved trauma or emotional distress. When focus is placed on a “brainspot,” the body’s innate healing mechanisms are activated.
  • Processing and Release: This deep, focused approach allows your brain and body to naturally process and integrate these experiences, releasing the energy of trauma and promoting healing.

What can Brainspotting Help With?

Brainspotting has been found effective for a wide range of emotional, psychological, and physical challenges, including:

  • Trauma: PTSD, childhood trauma, and complex trauma.
  • Stress and Anxiety: Chronic stress, generalised anxiety, and panic attacks.
  • Emotional Regulation: Anger, overwhelm, and grief
  • Physical Symptoms: Chronic pain, fatigue, and other somatic symptoms linked to unresolved emotional experiences.
  • Performance Issues: Creative blocks, professional challenges, and athletic performance.

What to Expect in a Brainspotting Session

Each session is a deeply personal and non-invasive experience tailored to your unique needs. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Safe and Supportive Environment: The session begins with a grounding process, ensuring you feel comfortable and secure.
  • Finding Your Brainspot: Using a pointer or natural eye gaze, we identify a specific point in your visual field that resonates with the unprocessed trauma or emotion.
  • Deep Processing: With your focus on the brainspot, your body and brain begin to naturally process and release what has been held. This is a gentle but powerful process, often accompanied by physical sensations, emotional shifts, or a deep sense of relief.
  • Integration: The session concludes with time to reflect and integrate the experience, allowing you to leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected.

Why Choose Brainspotting?

Brainspotting offers a unique and transformative path to healing by working directly with the brain’s natural ability to heal itself. Unlike talk-based therapies, it bypasses the analytical mind and goes straight to the source, making it particularly effective for trauma that feels “stuck” or difficult to articulate.

Is Brainspotting Right for You?

This modality is ideal for anyone seeking to:

  • Resolve trauma that feels stored in the body.
  • Address challenges that traditional talk therapy hasn’t fully resolved.
  • Reconnect with their emotional and physical self.
  • Experience profound and lasting healing.
  • Commit to growth and explore healing through an integrative mind-body approach.

More about Sally...

True healing goes beyond addressing surface-level issues, it involves uncovering and working with the core wounds created by past experiences. These wounds often leave imprints such as anxiety, overwhelm, dissociation, hypervigilance, or patterns of avoidance and people-pleasing. I support clients in understanding these trauma responses and working with their triggers, parts, and nervous system responses, rather than against them. This compassionate approach allows for freedom from old patterns and the creation of new, healthier ways of being.

My work is grounded in the belief that the body holds the key to deeper healing. By incorporating body-centred practices, we can access and release trauma stored within, enabling you to feel safe in your body and embrace your authentic self with confidence and clarity.

At the heart of my approach is the creation of an attuned and supportive relationship. I prioritise emotional safety and connection, offering a space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. Together, we build resilience, restore balance, and cultivate a life of greater freedom, possibility, and well-being.

More about Dan...

As a somatic trauma-informed coach, I understand the profound connection between the mind and body and how our past experiences can influence our present. My approach helps you tune into your body’s wisdom, creating space for healing and growth while promoting resilience and self-compassion.

My coaching style is completely personalised. I believe that no two journeys are the same, so I tailor my sessions to suit your needs. Whether you’re after practical, action-oriented support or a more reflective space to untangle your thoughts and feelings, I’ll adapt to what works best for you. Together, we’ll work to uncover what’s truly possible for you.

Before I became a coach, most of my working life was spent in corporate, high pressure, target driven environments, so I know firsthand the demands and challenges they can bring. I’ve also ran my own business, giving me insight into the unique rewards and struggles of being your own boss. These experiences have given me a well-rounded perspective, which I bring into my coaching sessions with empathy, focus, and a sense of practicality.

Coaching with me means embarking on a journey that’s all about you. We’ll explore the things that matter most to you in a safe and supportive space built on trust. By challenging limiting beliefs, understanding how past experiences shape your present, and focusing on your strengths, we’ll work together to create meaningful and lasting change.

More about Suzanne...

My mission is to help as many people as possible find happiness and live their lives to the fullest. I provide a safe and nurturing environment where clients can get curious about their past trauma, understand the connection between mind and body, and reclaim their power in the present.

I believe that everyone deserves to be seen and heard, without judgment or repercussions. In our 1-on-1 sessions, you have the freedom to express yourself authentically, to delve into your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you can get curious and start to grow at your own pace. By working somatically with the body, we tap into the power of sensations and help you develop a deeper understanding of how past trauma manifests in the body and shows up in the present.

Through guided exploration, we’ll identify the parts of you that have been shaped by feelings and core wounds of unworthiness, not being good enough, not important enough and unlovable. With compassion and curiosity, we’ll nurture your inner child, offering the love and support they’ve always needed. Together, we’ll navigate through the challenges of overwhelm, stress, anxiety, and more. We’ll discover the power of selflove, self-care, and self-acceptance. You’ll embark on a journey of growth, where you’ll find your voice, rebuild confidence, and live a life aligned with your true essence.

More about Michelle...

A few years ago, I began my own healing journey. Like many people, I didn’t think of myself as someone who had experienced trauma. But through working with a trauma-informed coach, I started to see how past experiences had shaped my emotions and behaviors. That journey changed everything for me.

I became certified in somatic trauma-informed coaching and trained as a Brainspotting practitioner, learning how to connect with emotions stored in the body and approach healing with curiosity and compassion. Now, I’m on a mission to share these transformative tools with others.

All That We Are was born from this passion. It’s about raising awareness of trauma, helping people connect with their emotions, and offering practical, compassionate support. We want to normalize the conversation around trauma because, we’ve all experienced it in some way.

Outside of work, my life is all about connection and growth. My husband and I homeschool our son, which has been an incredible adventure and a constant reminder of the joy in learning together. I’m also a huge fan of ice baths—I love the challenge, the clarity, and the sense of calm they bring (yes, really!).

I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued—and I’m here to help people realize they are enough, just as they are.

Through workshops, 1-2-1 coaching, and education across schools, workplaces, and beyond, my amazing team and I are here to support you on your journey to becoming whole, happy, and fulfilled.

Let’s take the first step together. You’re not alone.
