“Psychotherapy for trauma, including birth trauma and childhood trauma”
About Annie
My name is Annie Woodley, and I am a psychotherapist and counsellor specialising in trauma, including birth trauma and childhood trauma. I also specialise in attachment. I work with individuals who are currently experiencing domestic violence and looking to move away from dynamics of violence and abuse. I am also passionate about working with adolescents and families, with a deep commitment to supporting young people to explore and express their own voice.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked for many years as a midwife, supporting women and families through the birth process. Before moving into private practice, I worked for almost 5 years at the Blue Knot Foundation, a support service for people affected by complex trauma. I hold a Graduate Diploma in Counselling.
I'm passionate about the process of healing and recovery. I endeavour to offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore your experiences, and I value each client as an active participant in their recovery. I offer telehealth and face to face appointments.
How Annie works
I work within a psychodynamic and person-centred framework, and a heartfelt one. I also draw on Somatic Experiencing. In therapy we identify and build on your present capacities, and I value you as an active participant in your own recovery. The trauma-informed guidelines of the Blue Knot Foundation underpin my practice. Appointments are available by telehealth or face to face.
Approaches
General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Annie works.
Psychodynamic therapy
Psychodynamic therapy explores how earlier experiences, and feelings you may not be fully aware of, shape your life today. Patterns that show up in your relationships, and sometimes in the relationship with the therapist, become something to understand together. It is often used for recurring difficulties with mood, relationships and self-esteem.
Person-centred therapy
Person-centred therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, starts from the idea that you are the expert on your own life. The therapist offers warmth, empathy and genuine attention without steering the conversation, so you can explore what matters to you at your own pace. Many people find it helps them feel heard and grow in confidence and self-understanding.
Body-oriented & somatic therapy
Body-oriented and somatic therapies work with the body as well as the mind: breathing, posture, movement and physical sensations. Feelings and experiences often show up in the body, and paying attention to them can help release tension and settle stress. They are often used for stress, anxiety and the after-effects of trauma.
