Penelope Waller Ulmer | 注册心理学家, 注册心理学家

Welcome, I'm glad you're here. This space is held with care and respect for your experience, past and present. I support adults navigating anxiety, attachment, neglect, PTSD, trauma, emotional overwhelm, grief and loss, self-worth, boundaries, people pleasing, caregiving stress (including PLwD), and reproductive and perinatal mental health. My approach is relational and somatic, honouring the body’s role in healing. Whether this is a first step or a return to yourself, I invite you to connect.

背景

I began my career at the Lois Hole Hospital, in perinatal mental health, including birth trauma, fertility challenges, and infant loss. I later worked in public health at a Primary Care Network, offering individual and group therapy for adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma, emotional regulation, and life transitions, often rooted in early relationship dynamics or family of origin experiences. In private practice, I continue integrating evidence-based or informed approaches respecting each person’s pace and lived experience, and drawing from somatic, cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches, attachment-based therapy, polyvagal, & parts work. Let's explore change, together.

与我经历治疗的体验

Sessions are collaborative and paced with care. I use both talk therapy and somatic, body-based approaches to explore how past experiences shape current patterns. We track the body’s implicit story through sensation, emotion, posture, breath, and movement to support nervous system regulation, trauma processing, and emotional integration. Modalities may include Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, mindful movement, parts work, and somatic voice work. Clients often experience subtle or profound shifts such as a softening in the shoulders, a clearer boundary, or the release of a long-held belief. These shifts are reinforced through somatic awareness and savouring, which help embed coherence, presence,

治疗手法

这些是我主要的治疗手法，均接受过专业训练或有丰富临床经验：

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy/body-centered Approach

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a somatic, body-based approach for trauma, anxiety, and attachment wounds. It supports nervous system regulation and body awareness, helps complete interrupted actions, addresses unmet needs, and fosters emotional processing and lasting transformation.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based approach that uses eye movements and image rescripting to reduce distress from trauma, anxiety, or negative memories. It helps the brain reconsolidate stuck images and supports emotional healing and nervous system relief.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps clients shift negative thought patterns and reduce distress. Third-wave CBT, including ACT and Schema Therapy, supports emotional healing, values-based action, and insight into patterns shaped by early relationships.

Client-centered / Rogerian Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy is a humanistic approach that emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s capacity for growth. It fosters emotional safety, improves clarity and self-understanding, and is especially supportive for relational wounds and trauma, self-doubt, boundary work, & change making.
