About Fay Chaudhry | Trauma Therapist and Transformational Coach

Helping adults heal trauma, regulate their nervous system and transform lifelong patterns.

I believe trauma doesn’t define who you are.

It shapes the patterns you developed to survive.

The anxiety.

The self-doubt.

The emotional overwhelm.

The people-pleasing.

The relationship struggles.

The constant feeling that you’re never quite enough.

These aren’t signs that something is wrong with you.

They’re often intelligent adaptations your mind and body developed to help you cope with experiences that once felt overwhelming or unsafe.

My work is about helping you gently understand those patterns, regulate your nervous system and heal at the root—so lasting transformation becomes possible.

My Approach

Healing happens beneath the patterns.

Many people arrive believing they need to stop overthinking, feel less anxious or improve their relationships.

Those struggles matter.

But they’re often symptoms rather than the root cause.

Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath those patterns.

Using trauma-informed therapy and body-based approaches, we’ll help your nervous system feel safe enough to process what it has been carrying for years.

Because when healing happens at the root, change becomes more sustainable.

Modalities

Evidence-Informed Trauma Therapy

Every person is different.

That’s why I integrate a range of evidence-informed approaches depending on your needs, including:

• Trauma-informed counselling

• Somatic Therapy

• EMDR

• EFT

• Nervous System Regulation

• Breathwork

• Guided Visualisation

• Hypnotherapy

The therapy always comes first.

The techniques simply support the process.

Professional Background & Training

I am a trained counsellor and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I practise in accordance with the ethical frameworks of both professional bodies, ensuring my work is grounded in safe, ethical and evidence-informed therapeutic practice.

I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) through NCIP-accredited training, a trauma-focused approach that can support the processing of distressing experiences and memories.

Alongside my work as a trauma therapist, I offer transformational coaching, supporting clients in creating lasting change as they move beyond survival patterns and towards greater self-awareness, emotional freedom and personal transformation.

My training includes counselling, hypnotherapy, EMDR, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), conversational hypnosis and subconscious-based approaches, alongside integrative and trauma-informed therapeutic practices. My professional development has been informed by recognised organisations including the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB).

I am accredited by EFT International and have completed professional training in EFT, as well as conversational hypnosis. I am also a member of the International Association of Professional Conversational Change Practitioners (IAPCP).

Rather than relying on a single technique, I draw from a range of trauma-informed and evidence-informed approaches, including EMDR, somatic therapy, EFT, breathwork, hypnotherapy and counselling, where appropriate. Every therapeutic approach is personalised because healing is never one-size-fits-all.

My commitment is to provide a compassionate, collaborative and trauma-informed space where you can feel safe to explore what’s beneath the patterns, understand the experiences that may be shaping your present, regulate your nervous system and move towards lasting healing and transformation.

Who I Work With

I work with individuals who feel stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break, including:

• Anxiety and overthinking
• Addiction and compulsive behaviors
• Emotional triggers and overwhelm
• Self-sabotage and limiting beliefs

My work also supports deeper areas such as trauma, confidence, relationships, and emotional healing—helping you reconnect with yourself in a more grounded and empowered way.

Who I Help

I May Be Able to Help If You’re Experiencing…

  • Childhood trauma
  • Emotional neglect
  • Anxiety after trauma
  • Emotional overwhelm
  • Self-sabotage
  • People-pleasing
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Narcissistic abuse recovery
  • Emotional abuse recovery
  • Difficulty setting boundaries
  • Low self-worth
  • Feeling stuck in survival mode
  • Difficulty trusting yourself

If you’re unsure whether therapy is right for you, we can explore that together.

My Hope for Every Client

Healing isn’t about becoming someone different.

It’s about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that trauma asked you to hide.

My hope is that our work together helps you feel safer within yourself, more connected to your emotions, and more able to create a life that reflects who you truly are—not just who you’ve had to be in order to survive.
