About Sonia Skewes

AUSTRALIAN money trauma therapIST for women

Sonia Skewes Money Trauma Therapist

Sonia Skewes is an Advanced Relational Integrative Practitioner, Accredited Social Worker, and creator of the N.E.R.V.E. Method™, based in Penguin, Tasmania, and working with clients internationally.

She works at the intersection of money, trauma, identity, and the nervous system, supporting healthcare professionals, therapists, and helping practitioners to heal inherited emotional patterns, rewire survival responses around finances, and reclaim a deeper sense of self-worth.

Her understanding of money trauma is not theoretical. Shaped by lived experience including navigating the complexities of a multi-million dollar family estate, she brings both clinical expertise and profound personal understanding to everything she writes and every client she works with.

Drawing on modalities including Relational Integrative EMDR, Brainspotting, Root Cause Therapy, and somatic awareness, her approach is grounded, compassionate, and deeply human. She believes that most money struggles are nervous system patterns, not discipline problems, and nervous system patterns can evolve.
