How Poly Vagal Theory can help you
​Poly Vagal Theory is based on the research work of Dr. Stephen Porges regarding the important function of the Vagus nerve on our health and wellbeing. Since then, it has been widely adopted by therapists all over the world and continues to be referenced in countless peer-reviewed research articles.

Poly Vagal theory is not a therapy. Instead, it underpins therapy. It provides important insight on how our nervous system impacts our thoughts, behaviours and emotional wellbeing. We are wired to feel safe and connected with our world, with others and within ourselves. Therefore, anything that threatens that sense of safety, sends us into a survival response causing anxiety, stress and disconnection.
​
As a Poly Vagal Informed Therapist, I am able to bring this understanding into my counselling, enabling you to become an active operator of your own nervous system, so that anxiety and stress don’t control you. By learning how to tune into what your body is saying, you learn how to better regulate yourself and widen your window of tolerance. Changing your story, starts by changing the state of your nervous system.
