Welcome.
Reclaim your resilience. Redefine your next chapter.
If you’re actively working through trauma processing with a psychotherapist—or preparing to do so and you want coaching to support your growth, skill development, and behavioral change, this space is for you.
Trauma Recovery Coaching does not replace therapy but works in tandem with it. While therapy focuses on healing past wounds, trauma-informed coaching is about building forwards to your future -- strengthening your ability to navigate challenges, cultivate resilience, and step into a more empowered version of yourself.
💛 You are not what happened to you.
Your story is sacred, and we will honour it as the backdrop of your journey.
Our coaching sessions will not center on "what happened" -- instead, each coaching session will focus on who you are becoming and the actionable steps that support your transformation.
💛 Trauma Recovery Coaching is grounded in these 5 pillars:
Growth | Authenticity | Self-Agency | Community | Connection
💛 What to Expect during our Trauma Recovery Coaching Partnership:
In our work together, you will develop and strengthen skills across four key areas:
🤝 Contracting – Defined boundaries and agreement for our scope of work
🧠 Cognition – Clarity of thought, belief shifts, decision-making strategies
❤️ Emotions – Emotional agility, shame resilience, self-regulation
⚡ Behavior – Habit formation, proactive responses, goal execution
🎯 Results – Measurable progress, alignment with values, sustained growth
💛Here’s what we will focus on in Trauma Recovery Coaching:
✅ Personalised and Targeted Coaching
✅ Clarify Your Core Values & Drivers – Understand what truly matters to you and align your actions accordingly.
✅ Develop Resilience in the Face of Triggers – Learn strategies to shift from **reactive** to **responsive**.
✅ Strengthen Emotional Intelligence – Discover the wisdom in your emotions and cultivate emotional agility.
✅ Reclaim Your Sense of Agency – Build a strong foundation of self-trust and empowerment.
✅ Befriend Your Nervous System – Recognize your default fight-flight-freeze-fawn responses and develop strategies to support regulation.
✅ Audit and Enhance Self-Care Habits – Optimize your sleep, movement, and self-care routines to sustain energy and focus.
✅ Update Limiting Beliefs – Replace outdated thought patterns with empowering beliefs that support your goals.
✅ Design a Personal Containment Plan – Create a practical framework to navigate emotional overwhelm with confidence.
✅ Transform Your Inner Dialogue – Learn to distinguish between imposter syndrome, inner criticism, and your true inner wisdom.
This is not just coaching -- this is a structured, supportive space to grow beyond survival and into self-leadership with a regulated nervous system.

"I’ve been on a deep healing journey for several years now and for me personally trauma coaching - rather than more traditional forms of therapy - felt infinitely more empowering. Why? Because Avril has the ability to extrapolate storylines from fact in a very empathic way. As a trauma survivor I can sometimes be too focused on where my unconscious blocks come from; I can get caught up with unraveling all the roots of everything.
Avril is a master at building on the trauma rather being stuck there and going over it and reliving it. Avril walks the walk. It’s evident from things she says that she has put in the work to heal herself. This is of paramount importance to me. Why? It’s simple: Healed people, heal people. Healed people have excellent intuition and know when to challenge. They have empathy in shed loads and yet are able to see your potential and so will not sit in the mire with you. They’ll use expansive questions in order to create shifts and awareness within. This takes skill.
Avril has all of this and so much more. If you allow her, being coached by Avril can elevate your life!"
