Valerie Gage

Accredited Trauma Therapist (MBACP), Clinical Supervisor & Founder of The Quiet Root
Valerie Gage - Therapist & Counsellor

About Me

I’m an Accredited Counsellor, Psychotherapist (MBACP Accred.) and Trauma Therapist, offering therapy to individuals, couples, and families. I’m also recognised by AXA, Aviva, and Cigna to provide therapy for eligible clients.

My approach is steady, warm, and spacious — shaped by years of working closely with grief, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and the quiet weight of life experiences that don’t always have language. I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Trauma Therapy and am currently training in Somatic Experiencing®, a body-based approach to working gently with trauma and dysregulation.

We begin slowly, with curiosity and care. You don’t need to know how to explain everything. Together, we notice what’s present — in your words, in your body, and in the spaces in between.

Some of the people I work with feel far from themselves. Others are holding so much, they’ve forgotten what it feels like to be held. My work is rooted in deep respect for your story, your system, and your own capacity to heal. We move at your pace.

Reflections

As a gentle first step, you’re welcome to explore The Quiet Root Reflections — a new series of softly written pieces exploring grief, regulation, and the quieter truths the body holds.

Supervision

I also offer clinical supervision to therapists, creating space for their full experience — both personally and professionally. Supervision with me is relational and grounded in body-based awareness, offering room to reflect, process, and reconnect with your own way of working.
