Somatic therapy is an approach that pays attention to your thoughts and feelings and what is happening in your body. Alongside talking, we may notice sensations, emotions, movement and patterns in the nervous system to help you delevelop greater awareness, safety and connection, to yourself, to your experiences and to others.

Somatic therapy can be helpful for people experiencing stress, anxiety, overwhelm and difficult emotions, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions or the effects of past experiences. You don't need to have a specific diagnosis or trauma history to explore a somatic approach.Somatic therapy is also helpful for those who sometimes struggle to find words to express their experiences.

A trauma-informed approach to therapy recognises that past experiences can affect how we related to ourselves, other people and the world around us. Sessions are shaped around safety, choice, collaboration and your individual needs, rather than assuming that one approach will work for everyone.

No. Although the approach is trauma-informed, this kind of therapy isn't onyl for people who identify as having experience trauma. You might simply want support understanding yourself, navigating a difficult period or developing deeper connection with your body and emotions. The sessions being 'trauma-informed' in this context refers to the general collaborative approach that is taken.

Sessions are primarily conversational, with space to explore whatever feels important to you. We may also slow down and notice what is happening in your body, emotions and nervous system as you talk, helping you develop greater awareness of your experience.

No. You are always able to decide what you want to talk about. We work at a pact that feels manageble, and there is no expectation that you share anything in particular. However if you would like to talk about things that re difficult, or would like to work up to being able to talk about difficult things, then we can create the space for that.

Absolutely. My work is for people who are new to therapy, as well as those who have been on the path for a long time.I’ve been on my own healing journey for over 20 years, and I know how meaningful it can be to find a therapeutic relationship that feels right. Sometimes a new therapist brings a fresh perspective; sometimes it’s simply about experiencing a different kind of presence.Let's meet each other where we both are, and explore what's next, together.
