Accessible Counselling And Trauma Therapy​

Serene Water Lily

"Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood, and untreated cause of human suffering".

“Trauma creates change you don’t choose. Healing is about creating change you do choose.”

Welcome

TRGU (The Real Glow Up) is a supportive space I created to walk alongside you in your healing from childhood and relational trauma.  Whether you’re currently in counselling or not, this hub is here to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered as you recover.

​

Healing is holistic; it touches every part of who we are: mind, body, emotions, and relationships. That’s why TRGU is designed not only to complement counselling, but also to be here as a standalone resource if therapy isn’t an option right now...

Male Client

"When I first started counselling with Kirsty, I had just come out of a 25-year abusive relationship and didn’t know who I was anymore. She helped me recognise the abuse, understand how it affected my life, and gave me the tools to rebuild myself. With her support, I’ve gained confidence, learned to set boundaries, and face challenges in a healthier way. I feel like I’m finally becoming the person I never thought I could be, and I am so grateful to her for walking with me on this journey."

Healing Resources 

Welcome.

 

These meditation tracks are designed to help you relax and support your nervous system. However, for some people, guided meditation can bring up unexpected feelings or memories.

 

Please remember:

 

  • You are in control. You can pause, skip, or stop the meditation at any time.

  • You do not need to follow every instruction. Choose what feels safe and comfortable for you.

  • If any sensations, thoughts, or emotions feel overwhelming, it is okay to take a break, shift your focus, or simply notice what is present without trying to change it.

  • Find a quiet, private space where you feel supported before beginning.

  • Consider having a supportive person nearby or a grounding activity available if you think it might help.

 

This time is for you. You are allowed to go at your own pace and prioritise your sense of safety.
