Somatic therapy is a gentle, evidence-informed approach that recognises the close relationship between the mind, body, and nervous system.

In my work, I support clients to understand that experiences such as stress, trauma, or ongoing emotional strain are often held not only in thoughts and memories, but also in the body.

Rather than focusing solely on talking, somatic therapy works with present-moment bodily awareness. Together, we gently notice sensations, breath, posture, and patterns of activation or settling within the nervous system.

Sessions may include:

• Developing awareness of physical sensations
• Breath and grounding practices
• Gentle movement or posture exploration
• Learning tools to manage stress and emotional overwhelm
• Integrating emotional experience with bodily awareness

You do not need to relive traumatic experiences to heal. I work in a trauma-informed way that prioritises choice, consent, and your individual pace.
