I'm Barbara Pawson, a psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience working with individuals and couples who are ready to go deeper.
You may be someone others rely on—a therapist, coach, or caregiver—and yet beneath the role, you carry your own questions, patterns, and longings. I offer a grounded, compassionate space where you can show up as you are.
My work is rooted in the belief that when the right questions are asked, the right answers can emerge. I draw from an integrative approach with a focus on NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model), working relationally to help you explore your inner landscape—not just cognitively, but with curiosity, compassion, and respect for what's shaped you.
My clients often say they appreciate my humanity, warmth, and sense of realness. I'm not here to analyze from a distance—I meet you where you are, with presence and, when it fits, a respectful dose of humor to help soften the hard edges.
Whether you're looking for support, personal growth, or simply someone to walk alongside you for a while, you're welcome here.
This live demo is designed for practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of working with developmental trauma through the NARM approach. It is also open to therapists who are simply curious and wish to explore this powerful method in action.
During the first hour, you'll observe a live session where I share my process in real time—explaining the questions I ask, the choices I make, and why. The second hour is dedicated to discussion, where you’ll have the opportunity to bring your questions, reflections, and observations.
These sessions offer a unique and practical way to experience the NARM method directly from the therapist’s chair—an invaluable learning opportunity for any practitioner seeking to expand their skills and presence in the therapeutic space.

She raises the right questions, sees beyond the surface, and has helped me create a fundamental shift in how I relate to myself and others. I feel like a new person in my relationships—with my family, my colleagues, and most importantly, with myself."
“I have known Barbara for over ten years and consider her a major influence in my life. She brings both depth and lightness to relationships and truly meets you where you are. Her integrity is embodied rather than stated, and her presence is grounded in humility and openness.”
“I've especially valued her gently boundaried warmth—how she holds space for exploration with care. Her commitment to ongoing personal development and her willingness to challenge convention show just how seriously she takes this work. Barbara brings the skill, experience, and empathy needed to guide transformative experiences in a safe and effective way. I feel fortunate to know her.”
“Our chats have become a must-have in my hectic and busy life. They've guided me in setting priorities, enjoying what I do, and relating differently to those I care about. People around me have noticed the change—but above all, I feel different. And so much better.”
“Barbara's support is precious and unique. I hope she always finds time to share this gift— because the world truly needs more people like her.”
