Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy
NARM® Therapy with Mia Amini
NARM® (the NeuroAffective Relational Model) is a body-based, present-focused psychotherapy for complex and developmental trauma. Instead of re-telling the traumatic story, NARM works with the nervous system, identity and the survival patterns formed in early relationships. Mia Amini is a Certified NARM® Practitioner and offers sessions online and in Frederiksberg.
Who this is for
- Adults with complex trauma (C-PTSD) or developmental trauma
- People who have done a lot of talk therapy and still feel stuck
- Those drawn to a relational, nervous-system informed approach
- Clients seeking an alternative to symptom-only or short-term models
Common signs and challenges
- Chronic self-criticism, shame or 'something is wrong with me'
- Difficulty trusting your own needs or boundaries
- Patterns of self-sabotage or repeating relational dynamics
- Feeling disconnected from your body or emotions
- Hypervigilance, shutdown or nervous-system dysregulation
How therapy may help
Therapy doesn't guarantee outcomes, but with consistent, trauma-informed work many clients experience meaningful change in these areas.
- Greater self-trust and a more compassionate inner voice
- More space between trigger and reaction
- Clearer access to needs, boundaries and choice
- Steadier nervous-system regulation
- A less reactive, more grounded sense of identity
Mia's approach
My work is grounded in NARM®, attachment theory and Emotion-Focused Therapy. We move slowly, build safety first, and stay curious about the survival patterns your nervous system learned. Sessions are warm, direct and non-pathologising, you won't be reduced to a diagnosis.

Frequently asked questions
- What is NARM therapy?
- NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model) is a body-based, present-focused psychotherapy developed by Dr Laurence Heller for complex and developmental trauma. It works with the nervous system, identity and the relational patterns that formed early in life.
- How is NARM different from talk therapy?
- Traditional talk therapy often focuses on insight and history. NARM stays with what is alive in the present moment, including bodily experience, identity distortions and survival strategies, so change happens at the root, not only at the level of story.
- Is NARM right for me?
- NARM is especially suited to people with complex trauma, developmental trauma or long-standing relational and self-worth difficulties. A Discovery Call is the best way to see if it's a good fit for your situation.
- Do you offer NARM online?
- Yes. Online NARM sessions work well for clients across Denmark and worldwide. In-person sessions are available in Frederiksberg when there is availability.
- How long does NARM therapy take?
- Complex trauma rarely heals in a handful of sessions. Most clients work in packages of 4, 8 or 12 sessions and continue based on what they need.
