in Weston-super-Mare & Online
IntroHave you struggled with anxiety, difficulty in regulating your emotions or connecting with others?
The Safe and Sound Protocol engages the body’s natural systems for safety and connection, fostering resilience and more meaningful relationships with yourself, others and the world.
Introducing the SSP
The Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) is a five-hour auditory intervention created by Dr Stephen Porges to reduce stress and enhance social engagement, resilience, and emotional regulation. Grounded in Dr Porges’ polyvagal theory, the SSP aims to calm physiological and emotional states, facilitating improved communication and therapy effectiveness. With over 40 years of scientific research, SSP has shown positive effects in a number of areas, including emotion regulation, social difficulties, anxiety and trauma. It is a non-invasive therapy, which can be conducted at home under remote supervision.
I am a certified SSP provider, offering the SSP to individuals aged 18 and over (subject to assessment).

Do you find it difficult to slow down, deeply relax or recover from stress?
The Rest and Restore Protocol works with the body’s natural physiological rhythms to support nervous system regulation, helping you access deeper states of rest, restoration and recovery.
Introducing the RRP
The Rest & Restore Protocol (RRP) is a five-hour listening therapy developed by Dr Stephen Porges and Anthony Gorry to support deep relaxation, restoration and physiological balance.
Informed by decades of research into the body’s natural rhythms, RRP uses specially engineered music to help the nervous system shift out of states of stress and towards rest, recovery and homeostasis.
RRP is a non-invasive therapy which, after an initial session together, can be listened to at home with ongoing guidance and support.
