Hello, I’m Jayne

Hello, I’m Jayne, and you are welcome

I live in Northumberland, close to the sea and surrounded by nature, with my husband, Michael. We have rebuilt our lives together through challenge, recovery, and growth, and these life experiences inform how I work.

Alongside my coaching practice, we co-founded Fusion Spaces, bringing together nervous system science, lived experience, and technology to create regulating environments and experiences, including Room to Breathe at Outernet London. Our work centres on felt safety and how technology can support, rather than override, the human nervous system.

Animals have always mattered deeply to me. Our dogs, chickens, and ducks bring rhythm, honesty, and regulation. They remind me that safety can come from the smallest of moments of true connection, and it’s this that is foundational to my health and wellbeing.

My work

My life story shapes my work, and includes complex childhood trauma, anorexia, cPTSD, and late diagnosed AuDHD. And like many of my clients, I spent years masking, rescuing, pleasing and adapting myself to fit and belong.

Professionally, I have almost 30 years of experience in eating disorder therapy, trauma-informed coaching, and nervous system-focused practice. The discovery of Polyvagal Theory was a lightbulb moment for me, helping me make sense of my life. SSP training in 2019 followed and my own life-changing SSP listening sessions, leading me to integrate SSP into my practice in late Autumn 2019.

In 2024, it was clear my purpose was to focus solely on nervous system coaching and the SSP, continuing my studies at the intersection of trauma, neuroscience, and Polyvagal-informed work. I was also involved in the development of Dr Stephen Porges’ latest listening therapy, in collaboration with Anthony Gorry, Rest and Restore Protocol.

“My approach is relational, with sense of safety, ease and trust central to our relationship.”

SSP Together™

SSP Together™ is the approach I have developed for people who feel deeply and may live with historic trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, long-term nervous system sensitivities, or neurodivergence. My approach is relational, with a sense of safety, ease and trust central to our relationship.

In line with Stephen Porges’ philosophy of safe before the sound, when we feel safe enough to work together, the SSP can be integrated to restore the nervous system to safety, greater flexibility, and the capacity for connection, change and growth. And I have discovered that we can achieve this using nervous-focussed coaching and psychoeducation alongside in-session listening to the classical playlists of SSP Connect.

Many people drawn to working with me are capable and outwardly functioning but inwardly tired of coping, adapting, or pleasing. They sense there is more life to be lived, more freely, and feel ready to move forward with an SSP that has been adapted for them with specialist knowledge, kindness and compassion.

I offer online sessions to clients throughout the UK that support you, wherever you are. My work is always safety first and attuned, respecting your pace and readiness.

So, if you feel ready, I warmly invite you to take an SSP Together™ journey with me. I’m here to support you as you find your way home.

Safety comes first, because safety is a place to change and grow from, and our relationship matters. SSP Connect is always our starting point, and for many people, it remains the full pathway.

Many of the people drawn to my work are in midlife. They’re often capable, thoughtful, and outwardly functioning but inwardly tired of coping, adapting, pleasing others, or feeling disconnected from who they really are. They sense there is more life to be lived, and they want to move towards it with steadiness and integrity.

I work remotely across the UK, offering consistent, attuned sessions that honour your pace, your nervous system, and your readiness. This is gentle work, but it’s also meaningful and powerful.

I am sharing my own journey through this work, helping you to find safety and come home to yourself.

How can I support you?
