Online Somatic & Arts Therapy
Helping you come back to yourself
For deeply caring, highly sensitive women tired of holding everything together for everyone else…
If you’ve ever felt like you need to be liked, approved of, or “get it right” to be okay, you’re not alone…
Does this sound familiar?
You feel anxious when someone is upset—even if it’s not your fault
You avoid conflict, even when something matters to you
You look to others for reassurance before trusting yourself
You take on responsibility—but it quickly turns into pressure, self-doubt, or perfectionism
You find it hard to switch off… work and stress follow you home
You feel responsible for keeping things running smoothly—for everyone
You’re sensitive and perceptive, but that also means things affect you deeply
You appear “fine” on the outside, but underneath feels like a different story
This isn’t a flaw.
…It’s a nervous system that learned that being “good” was the safest way to belong…
You don’t have to keep living this way…
I’m Joanne Deaker and I support women who are self-aware, capable, and used to holding things together for others—but underneath feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from themselves.
I help you work with the patterns beneath the surface—so you can feel more steady, clear, and like yourself again.
I specialise in ‘Good Girl Syndrome’—a pattern many women learned early in life, where being helpful, agreeable, and “easy” became the way to feel safe, accepted, or loved.
I help you build a sense of safety within so you no longer need to look outside for reassurance, approval or permission. I help you reconnect to yourself.
Learn to begin reconnecting with yourself
My free ebook introduces simple somatic and reflective practices to help you begin building inner safety - so you can start relating to yourself differently, even in everyday moments..
It’s a gentle place to begin.
