The process of therapy can be a painful, grief laden one. A lot of time can be spent on the awfulness of whatever experience or trauma brought you there in the first place.

The therapy room can be the first place that those experiences are seen, heard and validated, spending time with the pain of it all makes a lot of sense and is an important part of the process.

A defining principal within body psychotherapy is that regardless of the trauma that is experienced our essential self remains unharmed and untouched, we are not broken. We can be wounded, hurt, suffering or traumatised but we are not broken.

Through the process of a supportive, relational, emotionally present and grounded therapist it is possible to begin the work to rediscover who and what our essential self is. What brings us pleasure and joy and how can we access it?

This can be long and complicated work. Trauma survivors find it hard to allow themselves pleasure and joy, as the after effects of trauma can be all consuming and debilitating.

The work of the therapist is to reflect back that as humans we are built for pleasure and joy and these experiences are not out of reach, regardless of what happened to us.

Supportive Somatic Sessions

Now Bookable!!

A 1 hour session exploring movement, touch, self-massage and stillness as a way of deepening our connection to ourselves and maybe finding some calm in this difficult time.

This is not a yoga class, all movement will be free movement guided by me but ultimately led by you and your comfort level.

We will use gentle self touch and massage to wake up the body and give it what attention it may need.

£10/session but email me if that’s not affordable as a sliding scale is available.

Link for booking in bio...of course!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Since I am not yet practicing full time I have been able to continue doing a certain amount of face to face sessions, with all necessary risk assessments, PPE, reduced touch points, etc in place.

However I am now capped out for in person clients until we see what happens at the other side of this circuit breaker.

I do have a couple of potential slots for online work, and if you are local the aim would be to convert them into in-person in the future.

In the meantime I’ll just be over here taking my temperature.
