Welcome

Our autonomic nervous system is always listening inside and outside of us, and communicates with us. It notices and assesses every micro moment for signs of threat or safety, then cues our biology to adapt and support us with either protection or openness and connection. A complex trauma clinician, Deb Dana (2018), defines “glimmers” as referring to any small moments that facilitate regulation and a sense of calm and wellness. Glimmers Psychology aims to provide a space where you are supported to find grounding, safety, and connection to feel understood and welcomed. From this space, we can access our joint wisdom, knowledge and skills to make the changes that are most important and meaningful for you.
