My Approach

Straight Talk Therapy is a trauma-informed method that blends:✦ Milton Erickson’s subtle, strategic communication
✦ Alice Miller’s groundbreaking work on childhood trauma
✦ Intentional Creativity® — art and creative expression as therapeutic tools✧ Whether you’ve been silenced by power dynamics, worn out by perfectionism, or left invisible by your own family — this space is yours to be heard and seen.Core therapy sources✦ I am a certified practitioner with a Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy (Dip. Hyp. Psych.), trained in solution-focused therapy and trauma-informed approaches. My work blends traditional therapeutic principles with intuitive, creative tools — so clients can access healing not just through words, but through truthful expression.✦ I am also a qualified Personal Performance Coach and Confidence Coach, helping people reconnect with their voice, their self-belief, and their sense of purpose — especially after emotional injury, burnout, or displacement.✦ My healing practice is deeply influenced by my training in Intentional Creativity® with Shiloh Sophia, a process that uses image-making and storytelling as transformational tools. Art is not decoration — it’s revelation. In my work, it becomes a sacred bridge between inner pain and outer clarity.✦ Associate Member of BAAT🎓 Ongoing Study & CPD (Continuing Professional Development)I believe that to hold safe space, I must continue to grow. My CPD and advanced studies include:🖌️ Art Therapy Techniques – for somatic release and emotional processing
🧠 CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) – for reframing thoughts and patterns
🌀 Jungian Archetypes – understanding the language of the unconscious
🧵 Intentional Creativity & Intuitive Art – as participant, student, and teacher
📚 Courses in Trauma, Body-Mind Integration, Symbolism & Creative ProcessThese tools are not just academic — they’re living practices I bring into every session with heart and clarity.

Who I Work With

This work is for you if:❥ You’ve experienced emotional or narcissistic abuse
❥ You feel displaced, culturally or emotionally
❥ You’re burnt out from being the “strong one”
❥ You long to reconnect with your truth and creativity
❥ You don’t want another cold therapy room — you want realness, softness, and hope
❥ You’re not just tired — you’re burned out from always pushing, proving, and performing. You want to feel like you again, not just the role you play.✺✺✺✺✺"I didn’t think anyone could help me stop the inner critic in my head—but Corinne did. She saw through the mask I wore and gently helped me remove it, layer by layer. Today, I no longer hide in the background. I speak up, I create, I lead. If you’re ready to stop shrinking and start shining, she’s the coach you need."
— Daniel, 39✺✺✺✺✺"Working with Corinne was the first time I felt truly seen. After years of bullying left me feeling small and voiceless, she helped me find the courage to reclaim my story. Her presence is gentle but strong—like being held by someone who’s been through fire and knows the way out. I’ll never forget our sessions. They changed my life."
— Samantha, 42✺✺✺✺✺"Corina doesn’t just coach—she guides with soul. I came to her carrying shame, fear, and a lifetime of minimising myself because of bullying at school and work. Through our work together, I’ve reconnected with my voice, my value, and my right to take up space. She made it safe for me to feel again."
— Leila, 36What to expect from a session:✺ Safe, non-judgmental listening and support
✺ Guided creative expression to unlock emotions
