About Me
My name is Juanita Hunter Bsc, Pgdip, MBACP, FHT
I am a person-centred counsellor and somatic trauma therapist, also offering indirect myofascial trauma release therapy. My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for each person’s inner world. I believe healing unfolds most naturally when clients feel safe, seen, and supported.
My approach is shaped by lived experience of trauma and nearly ten years of professional practice. I work collaboratively, at your pace, integrating talk therapy with somatic and myofascial approaches to support nervous system regulation and embodied awareness. When appropriate, nature-based elements are included to support grounding and reflection within a warm, professional therapeutic space together.

Services
Person - Centred Talk Therapy
Person-centred therapy is a gentle and supportive talking therapy that puts you at the centre. It is based on the idea that everyone has the ability to grow, heal, and make positive changes when they are given the right support.
Rather than telling you what to do or giving advice, your therapist offers a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly about whatever is on your mind.
Somatic Trauma Therapy
Somatic Trauma Therapy is a gentle, body-based approach that helps you heal the impact of stress or trauma by reconnecting with your body’s natural ability to regulate and feel safe again. Instead of focusing only on talking about the past, we pay attention to what’s happening in your body right now—your breath, tension, sensations, and emotions—so healing can unfold from the inside out.
Myofascial Trauma Release
Indirect Myofascial Trauma Release Therapy is a gentle, fully clothed approach to releasing tension held in the body’s fascia—the connective tissue surrounding muscles, nerves, and organs. Instead of using force, this method follows the body’s natural lines of ease, allowing it to soften and unwind at a comfortable pace.
Testimonial 1
“I started to see Juanita at a time of transition in my life and I was unsure how I would cope with the changes. Juanita is easy to talk to and I felt at ease from the start. She gave me the space I needed to talk through the things of concern and reflect on how I might embrace the changes. Juanita’s gentle challenging helped me to realise that there could be a different way of doing things and I felt I learnt a bit more about myself, my automatic responses to things, and how to nurture the parts of me I had neglected. I left the sessions feeling stronger and better equipped to look after myself.” ~ FL

"The sessions helped me a lot and I improved tremendously after each one. Juanita is very passionate about all this and she has a gentle way of being and softly challenged me during our discussions. She also gave me the opportunity to work on my issues outside of sessions with some small suggestions that I could implement by myself or questions to meditate about. It was a pleasure going to the sessions and I looked forward to speaking with her weekly."~ IP

"I attended therapy sessions with Juanita at a pretty low point in my life and I found them to be a huge help. She listened without judgement and asked the right kind of questions that really helped my thought process. I was reticent and nervous to begin with at the thought of going to therapy sessions - it's a daunting prospect if you've never been before. But I'm extremely glad that I did. The sessions were very good for me and I'd recommend Juanita to anyone considering therapy of their own, whatever the motivation or situation". ~ AM
