Ms Nina Frank

Allied Professional

verified by TherapyRoute

I am an experienced Trauma Therapist and also use various modalities which address the mind/body connection. I’ve always loved interacting with people and am fascinated by what makes them tick and am passionate about being of service.

About Me

As an experienced trauma therapist, I support individuals to process difficult experiences, integrating the mind and body. I am genuinely fascinated by what makes each person unique. In our sessions, we can explore how your physical sensations connect to your emotions, helping you understand your reactions more deeply. My passion is being of service, guiding you towards lasting stability. This holistic focus suits those seeking a comprehensive way to heal and find inner calm.

Approach

Sessions move at a steady, curious pace—listening to your story while tracking the body’s signals and the subtle patterns that shape your responses. In Johannesburg or online in English, I set small, practical experiments, breathing and grounding practices between meetings, and brief reflective check-ins to turn insight into everyday shifts. I blend talking with gentle somatic noticing, collaborative goal-setting and relational exploration so coping grows alongside deeper self-understanding. Those wrestling with anxiety, feelings of inadequacy or relationship strain often find this embodied, practical way calming and clarifying.
