Book a Session with John
The Integrated Self Framework helps you drop into your body, and explore the interconnection between your emotions, body sensations, and the meaning you make about your life experience. Through our work together you will learn to recognise the complex interactions between your mind, emotions, physiology, and behaviours and how these factors combine to shape your sense of self. This process allows you to process your emotions and heal past wounds so you can approach life with more confidence and clarity, feeling more assertive, empowered and better able to get your needs met. You will learn how to take responsibility for yourself, be more open, vulnerable and honest and less afraid of showing up as your true self!
THE INTEGRATED-SELF FRAMEWORK
The Integrated Self Framework (ISF) is a body based somatic approach to therapy designed to help you reconnect with your true self by focusing on how bodily sensations, posture, breath, and movement relate to emotions and trauma. Using techniques such as breath work, grounding exercises, mindful movement, and other practices we help you process emotions and reduce stress by teaching you how to tune into your bodily experiences.
The purpose of the Integrated-Self Framework is to promote inner peace, deepen your understanding of yourself, and improve your relationship with yourself and with others. It helps you understand how past experiences influence your reactions and behaviours today, and how by understanding and healing the past you can heal your present and your future.
Our present moment is not separate from memory. The body stores trauma as patterns of sensations, not just as stories. Childhood memories are stored in our bodies as patterns of sensation, posture, breath, and autonomic arousal (body memory) rather than as a narrative of events that happened. This means that if something triggers that body memory, such as a tone of voice, a specific phrase, or a familiar touch we can reactivate those past traumatic memories (stored in the body) and we react unconsciously to that perceived threat even if the present situation is safe.
These patterns can surge into awareness before we can put words to them, and the unhealed body reacts automatically to present cues as if the past was repeating itself.
Our one-to-one Integrative Psychotherapy sessions use the Integrated Self Framework to help you explore these triggers and early childhood wounds.
Using Somatic Practices and Parts Work Therapy to help you connect into your body we work with the present moment experiences, while simultaneously working with memories related to those early traumatic events.
We then use Emotional Freedom Technique to work through and clear these traumatic memories, so you are no longer triggered by them.
As you work through these childhood wounds and unmet needs you will find that you are no longer triggered by the same issues in your day to day life.
By bringing in more self-awareness and helping you connect in with yourself, you become more self-aware of the subtle shifts that happen within you when you get triggered, you are then able to stay present with them and process them using the tools we teach you in our one-to-one therapy sessions.
CORE PRINCIPLES OF THE INTEGRATED-SELF FRAMEWORK
RE-ROOT - MOVEMENT AND BREATH
These one-to-one sessions incorporate Trauma Informed Yoga and Breathwork practices with Psychotherapy to help establish a sense of safety in the body.
Trauma informed yoga blends traditional postural yoga with the modern understanding of how the nervous system works.
You’ll practice gentle, body-focused exercises that help you notice sensations, stay present, and regulate your breath.
Somatic psychology recognises the complex interactions between our mind, emotions, physiology, and behaviour and how these factors combine to shape our sense of self.
By incorporating principles from somatic psychology, we emphasise the mind–body connection and invite you to observe your experiences with curiosity and self-compassion.
The goal isn’t to “fix” you or eliminate symptoms, but to increase your sense of choice in the present moment and deepen your understanding of how your emotions and body sensations influence the meaning that you make about your life story.
As you become more aware of how your body sensations and emotions are connected to what you think and do, you will start to develop a stronger sense of your authentic self.
Practices like mindful breathing and yoga-friendly moves can also support a deeper sense of safety and resilience as you work through difficult memories.
Trauma can leave a lasting imprint on the body, even when thoughts feel okay. After a traumatic event, the body can hold onto tension in areas like the jaw, neck, chest, belly, or hips, and breathing can become shallow or irregular.
In somatic work, we learn to notice these sensations with curiosity and gentleness, helping the nervous system relax and re‑educate the body towards safety and resilience.
Many people find this approach helps reduce hypervigilance, improves mood, and helps foster a felt sense of safety and connection, all at a pace that honours your own unique journey.
RE-CONNECT - LISTEN AND VALIDATE
As a psychotherapist trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), I guide clients to explore and heal inner parts, disowned or hidden aspects of self to build trust and inner harmony. This process enhances self-awareness, reduces internal conflicts, and makes genuine self-love and self-acceptance more accessible.
Parts work therapy is a mindfulness-based therapy model that views the mind as made up of multiple parts, each with its own voice, role, and memory. It also believes that we all have Self energy, which is our core, compassionate observer. Listening to and validating these parts helps reduce internal conflict and restores harmony.
Most of us have experienced some form of trauma at some point in our lives, and we carry these wounds deep within ourselves, wounds that we often work hard to keep hidden from others.
Parts manifest in a developmental sequence throughout life, with their own personalities, temperaments and a full range of feelings.
As we drop into our bodies we can start to notice the feelings, thoughts, and sensations of our parts, as we listen to them and hear their motives, we realise that regardless of their behaviours, our parts want for us what we want, connection, validation and love.
The goal of parts work therapy is to get to know our core Self and heal our injured parts so that we can live with confidence, curiosity and compassion.
When we embody more Self energy and listen to our parts rather than try to ignore them we gain clearer insight into our problems as we can trace the trajectory of our own feelings and emotional histories with more clarity and understanding.
RE-WIRE - TAP AND TALK
As a psychotherapist trained in Emotional Freedom Technique, I use tapping on acupressure points to help process triggers, release emotional blocks, and transform limiting beliefs.
EFT has its roots in Eastern philosophies, particularly acupuncture and has a profound effect on calming the nervous system and lowering cortisol the stress hormone.
EFT is a very simple practice and is based on two principles Tap on certain meridian points, while you Talk (or think) about the issue you are wanting to work through.
Tapping on certain meridian points has been shown to have a powerful impact on the way the brain responds to stress and the way it processes emotions.
As we tap on specific acupressure points on the face and upper body while we recall a traumatic memory or triggering situation, we provide a soothing physical cue that helps calm the nervous system.
This pairing of a traumatic memory with a soothing physical stimulus often breaks the power of that memory, reducing its emotional intensity.
This allows us to change the distressing memory or self-limiting belief or behaviour.
Tapping signals to the body that we are safe, and so the conditioned loop is broken. After tapping on a specific problem, the nervous system no longer associates the memory with stress and the emotional intensity of that memory is released.
We often have surface emotions like frustration, stress and overwhelm, that are covering up deeper emotions like rage, anger, fear, and sadness. As we dive deeper into your personal story we can heal these deeper emotions, bringing more peace and clarity to your life.
WHAT OTHERS
HAVE EXPERIENCED
BE INSPIRED
"I had a session with John as I noticed that I had a general underlying anxiety around new situations. In the past I have done lots of talking therapy, meditation and breathwork, but I never reached a point where my anxiety was completely resolved. During the session John guided me in trying out a few methods, including tapping therapy and parts work, and I realised that I still had some unresolved issues from the past. It was an enjoyable, albeit emotional, experience. It differed from the usual talking therapy approach and helped me to tap into things that I had previously been unaware of. I would recommend going into this with an open mind. If you have tried other styles of therapy, you may find that John’s approach can help you go deeper inside and find the parts that still need to be worked on, so it comes highly recommended from me."

START YOUR NEW LIFE TODAY...
Since applying the Integrated-Self Framework to my own life, my life has completely transformed, I am so much more at peace with myself. The framework has allowed me to slow down, stop, pause and reflect and then process whatever is going on internally so that I feel better able to deal with whatever is in front of me.
I have learnt through this process, how to take responsibility for my words and actions, recognise my own triggers and frustrations and work through them so that I am more responsive and less reactive to life situations.
It’s also allowed me to communicate more clearly and authentically with the people around me and to recognise when I am in self-energy and when I have gone into one of my protective parts.
I now see these life challenges as opportunities to learn and grow and no longer as obstacles preventing me from moving forward.
This shift in perspective has bought more peace to my inner and outer world and has improved my relationship with myself and with others.
In our one-to-one therapy sessions, I guide you in the practical application of the Integrated Self-Framework so you too can apply it in your day-to-day life.
This deeper connection with yourself allows you to navigate life’s most challenging moments with more resilience and understanding.
By slowing down and paying attention to your inner and outer world you will deepen your understanding of yourself.
This enhanced self-awareness helps you be more authentic, present, calm and resilient in your day-to-day life and will improve your relationship with yourself and with others.

I'M JOHN!
An Integrative Psychotherapist, Breathwork Coach and Co-Founder of Re-Younify
I trained as an integrative psychotherapist in 2012, but over the years I realised that talk therapy alone wasn’t enough to truly support my clients. I began to see that how the body responds to life experiences can be just as important as the story being told. This insight led me to deepen my study of somatic approaches.
In 2023, alongside Fiona, I pursued further training, including a Level 2 Certification in Emotional Freedom Technique, a six-month programme applying Internal Family Systems (IFS) to relationships (Intimacy from the Inside Out), a comprehensive IFS course and most recently, I trained as a breathwork coach so that I could incorporate these modalities into my one-to-one sessions.
Today, I integrate breathwork, parts work therapy, and EFT into my therapy sessions to help clients regulate their nervous systems, enhance their emotional awareness, heal past pain, and process emotional triggers.
In our sessions, using the Integrated Self Framework, we work through present relationship and life struggles, helping you work through triggers and heal past pain so that you can build a stronger sense of self and show up more authentically in life and in your relationships.
If you’re ready to start your healing journey, I invite you to book an Introductory Session with me today!
