Dr Adam Lake

I help people regulate their nervous systems, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with a sense of calm inner strength — using practical, evidence-based tools grounded in physiology and lived experience.

Some sessions are quiet and focused; others involve more reflection. You’ll never be asked to share anything you’re not comfortable with.
