Core Value At Unity Physiotherapy & Wellbeing
What Guides Unity Physiotherapy & Wellbeing – A Trauma-Informed Approach
Values Introduction
At Unity Physiotherapy & Wellbeing some core values shape everything I do — from how I connect with each person to how I deliver care. They reflect the heart of this practice and guide a trauma-informed approach that prioritises compassion, safety, trust, empowerment and collaboration. These values aren’t just theoretical —they are lived, felt, embodied and practiced in every interaction. They provide a foundation for meaningful, ethical, and person-centred physiotherapy and wellbeing support.
Compassion
Compassion is a central value that underpins everything at Unity Physiotherapy & Wellbeing — and it’s also one of my own personal values. Compassion means more than being kind — it’s a caring, wise and courageous motivation to be with suffering, to really notice it, and to take thoughtful, supportive action.
In trauma-informed care, compassion helps create a safe and supportive. It involves being fully present, being curious, listening deeply, and acknowledging each person’s experience without judgment. At Unity Physiotherapy & Wellbeing I commit to meeting people with compassion, so we can work together from a place of trust, understanding, and shared humanity. Compassion is an important foundation in all care.
Empowerment
Empowerment is at the heart of how I work. I believe everyone has the right to feel informed, involved, and in control of their care. Giving people choices is part of my empowering approach and it’s a trauma-informed practice principle.
In a trauma-informed space, empowerment means more than encouragement – it means creating real opportunities for choice, collaboration, and autonomy. I support each person to be an active participant in their wellbeing journey, whether that’s through shared decision-making, personalised treatment planning, or simply offering space to be compassionately heard.
At Unity Physiotherapy & Wellbeing, you’ll never be told what to do – we work together to explore what feels right for you. This approach not only builds trust but also helps you reconnect with your own inner strength, wisdom, and capacity for change.
Communication
How we communicate matters — with others and with ourselves.
Clear, honest, and compassionate communication builds safety, trust, and offers clarity. These are key principles in a trauma-informed space, where people may be especially sensitive to tone, body language, and emotional cues. At Unity Physiotherapy & Wellbeing, I aim to communicate in ways that are transparent, kind, and empowering — so that you feel heard, understood, and informed every step of the way.
Creativity
Creativity supports flexibility, openness, and choice — all essential in trauma-informed care.
Being creative means tailoring each person’s care uniquely. In practice it often looks like blending different therapeutic approaches, encouraging gentle exploration, or using creative tools like drawing or expressive writing when helpful. Creativity also brings a sense of playfulness, which can be restorative, regulating and supports learning. You don’t need to feel creative to benefit — it’s about creating space for discovery in a safe, respectful way.
Honesty
Honesty and integrity form the ethical foundation of the work I do.
In a trauma-informed environment, consistency, openness, and clear boundaries help nurture safety and build trust. I will always be honest and act with integrity — whether that’s around treatment expectations, professional limits, or sharing knowledge. You can trust that decisions will always be guided by what’s in your best interests, grounded in ethical and transparent practice.
Unity
Unity is more than part of my business name — it reflects a belief in the interconnectedness of all things.
We are all part of something bigger – people, nature, communities, even the systems within our own bodies. Recognising these connections supports healing and growth. A trauma-informed lens encourages us to see individuals in context – to look beyond symptoms and hear their stories, understand experiences and what’s meaningful, identifies strengths, and nurtures relationships.
At Unity Physiotherapy & Wellbeing, I hold space for the whole person, honouring the connections that shape us and the compassion that helps us thrive together.
