Somatic Experiencing:

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a therapeutic approach focused on gently reconnecting with the body’s sensations, in order to ease the impacts of stress, anxiety, and trauma stored within the nervous system. It supports natural healing by integrating the mind, body, and emotions without relying solely on cognitive processing. There is no requirement to recount traumatic events if this is not something you wish to do, we can still do the trauma processing pieces without the talking component. This is what makes SE so beautiful.

I am highly qualified and specialised to support people with complex trauma presentations with many of my clients holding multiple diagnoses and chronic health conditions. Typically clients have attempted multiple styles of cognitive therapy before coming to me. Although I am specialised to work with trauma and the nervous system, anybody is welcome to my practice if willing to explore their experiences in an embodied approach. This is typically long term work and will be an investment in yourself that you will be grateful for, regardless of the time we have together.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me for a free enquiry call to talk this through further. If you are unsure I highly recommend you read or listen to Peter Levine’s book ‘Waking the tiger’ or ‘In an Unspoken Voice’.

60-90 minute sessions (at my home or online)

Myofascial Release for Trauma:

An extension of my somatic work but solely focused on working with the bodies stored tension within the fascia. This is incredibly powerful work and can support release of years of stored tension patterns, perhaps due to repeated stress/trauma/overwhelm. Sessions take place on a massage table and the touch is supportive and simple. We spend long periods of time with one limb fascial network, supporting it to release. This could have quick effects or it may require consistent support over many sessions. It is common to have big emotional releases and have memories come back. We may work through undischarged survival energy through the limbs wishing to move the way they might not have been able to at the time.

I recommend this work for all my clients but it can be especially powerful for those who experience chronic pain and for those who have experienced developmental trauma in the ages prior to words.
