Somatic counselling and Human Design guidance for women navigating trauma, transition and the work of finding themselves again.

When trauma, grief or long-held patterns pull you away from your centre, your system adapts in ways that no longer feel like you. I help you return to yourself through somatic counselling, trauma processing and grounded energetic understanding. This space is for clarity, healing and remembering who you are beneath the conditioning.

This space is for clarity, healing and remembering who you are beneath the conditioning, so you can move through life with more steadiness and self-trust.

Counselling and Somatics

Healing begins when the body feels safe enough to soften. When you have carried trauma, grief or unspoken pressure for too long, your system adapts to keep you going. These sessions help you come back into yourself with clarity, stability and presence.

Psychotherapy and Counselling

A grounded, trauma responsive counselling space to unpack what you’re carrying without judgement. This work supports emotional regulation, & steady change by exploring patterns, beliefs, + lived experience at a pace your system can tolerate.

Somatic EMDR

A deep nervous system practice that supports trauma resolution without forcing the story. We work with the body’s signals, your internal rhythms and moment to moment awareness so you can process what has been held for far too long.

Rebirthing

Annie Richardson breathwork and preveral trauma specialist is standing beside a still pool of water, offering rebirthing breathwork and somatic release practices.

A powerful breath-led journey that opens space for release, insight and emotional reset. This work supports the layers beneath conscious awareness and helps the body clear what words cannot reach.

Human Design guidance for adults, kids, and families

Human Design offers a practical language for understanding how you are wired to move through life, make decisions, and relate to others. Your chart reveals patterns, sensitivities, strengths, and cycles that are already at play, helping you make sense of why certain themes repeat and why some paths feel more aligned than others.  

Whether you are exploring your own design, supporting a child, or seeking clarity within family dynamics, this work offers grounded insight and perspective, so you can relate to yourself and others with more understanding and less self judgement.

Upcoming workshops and events

My events are intentionally small, safe and grounded. Each circle, workshop or class is designed to help you slow down, reconnect to your body and understand the inner patterns shaping your life. You’ll move between learning, reflection, somatic practices, connection and healing language that actually lands in your system.

Ready to work together?

Hello, beautiful human.  I’m Annie Richardson, a counsellor, somatic EMDR practitioner and Human Design mentor. My work sits at the intersection of trauma healing, identity, nervous system repair and the deeper patterns that shape who you believe yourself to be.  

I support women moving through trauma, transition, motherhood, grief, burnout and the pressure of holding everyone else together. I also guide Human Design enthusiasts who want grounded, trauma-aware language and deeper understanding of their design.  

If something inside you knows it’s time to soften, shift or come back to yourself, you’re welcome to begin here.

Client love

"I walked into Annie’s space carrying years of tension in my chest and a story I barely knew how to speak. She didn’t rush me. She met me with precision and warmth. The work we’ve done has shifted things I didn’t know were moveable. My nervous system feels steadier. My choices feel clearer. I trust myself again in ways I haven’t felt since childhood. Annie’s presence is the kind of presence that changes you."

Client Testimonial

"I thought I understood my chart. Then I sat with Annie. She saw the mechanics behind the words and showed me how my design had been playing out in my life the entire time. No fluff. No surface level interpretations. She guided me into my own clarity until I could feel the truth of my design in my body. This work has changed how I move through every single day."


Client Testimonial

"I have seen many practitioners over the years. None have met me the way Annie did. She understood the layers of my trauma before I spoke them. She didn’t rush the process or overwhelm my system. She followed my pace with precision. The shifts I’ve felt are real and lasting. I trust her with the deepest parts of my story."
