When life changes, you change too
When something life-altering happens, whether it was a recent or past experience, it rarely affects just one part of you.
It can change how you think, feel, respond, move through the world, and how you relate to yourself and the people around you.
You may feel it in your body (somatically), your emotions, your relationships, your sense of safety, your beliefs about the future or even your sense of who you are. Sometimes these responses will come out of nowhere, they might take you back to a memory from the past, or your emotions feel so overwhelming, that you're not sure what to do with them.
And the question I get asked the most, is
“How do I find my way forward from here?”
And although there is no ‘right’ way to grieve or move forward from life’s painful experiences, it is possible that you can heal, and build a big, beautiful life around them.
Holistic Mental Health Support
What does this mean?
I don’t believe we experience life in separate compartments. Your emotions, body, nervous system, relationships, past experiences and current circumstances are all connected, and they shape exactly how you respond to today.
That's why I work with both the mind and body. Through Clinical EFT Tapping and somatic practices, we can gently notice what is happening beneath the surface: the experiences, thoughts, emotions, body sensations, protective responses and patterns that can keep the past showing up in the present.
EFT Tapping can support emotional processing, nervous system regulation and the processing of difficult memories and experiences, helping you develop more space between what you’ve been through and how you respond now. Rather than simply thinking your way through something, we work with the experience as it lives in both your mind and body.
My approach brings together Clinical EFT Tapping, Integrative Grief Counselling, somatic practices and nervous system support, trauma-informed care, memory reprocessing, Inner Child and Parts work, alongside my background in Women’s Health & Nutrition. Together, these allow me to support the whole person, not just a symptom, diagnosis or single experience.

About Sarina Coventry
I’m a Holistic Mental Health Practitioner specialising in grief, trauma and nervous system dysregulation, with more than 6 years of experience working in women’s health.
My professional background began in women’s health nutrition, where I supported women with hormonal health, menstrual cycles and the complex relationship between food, body and wellbeing. Over time, I found that the women sitting in front of me were bringing far more than their physical symptoms into the room.
They were navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, relationship breakdown, body image, fertility experiences, chronic stress and major changes in their lives.
And within these experiences, they were feeling overwhelmed by emotions they couldn't always explain, experiencing physical symptoms that didn't seem to have a clear answer, constantly feeling on edge or easily triggered, using food or distractions to cope, struggling to switch off, sleep or feel present in their own lives. Some were finding themselves freezing, shutting down or reacting in ways they didn't understand, despite knowing intellectually understanding what was 'going on'.
I realised I needed to go deeper.
This led me to Clinical EFT Tapping and further training in trauma-informed and somatic based approaches. Today, my work brings together my Bachelor of Health Science in Clinical Nutrition, Clinical EFT training, specialised training in Women’s Health, Trauma & Grief, alongside years of navigating my own painful life experiences.
I take a whole-person approach to mental health, considering the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, body, nervous system, past experiences, childhood, current circumstances and their role in shaping who you are today. My work is grounded in clinical evidence, alongside a deep respect for intuition, spirituality and the felt experience of being human.
