Somatic Embodied psychotherapy

When we’re feeling stuck or in pain, it can feel impossible to know how to move forward. We may feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges, or have a constant anxiety which plagues us, even if everything seems okay on the surface.Whatever your reason for being here, I will meet you where you’re at. My wish is for you to feel heard, seen, valued and understood, so that together, we can create a safe collaborative space for you to explore what is going on for you.

As a BACP registered psychotherapist specialising in somatic and embodied trauma healing, I have proven experience of helping clients to process and release the emotional burdens which are holding them back. This modality of working aims to get to the root of past trauma which has become trapped in our body, mind and nervous system, keeping us stuck in loops whilst forcing us to carry the pain of the past into our present life.

My intention is to help you get to the root of your challenges through cognitive understanding (to bring what is unconsciously running your life into your conscious awareness), inner parts work (re-integrating split off parts of yourself to bring you back to wholeness) and processing emotional trauma through the body by rewiring the nervous system and dismantling old coping mechanisms, helping you to release the pain which is keeping you stuck.

I believe in your ability to heal yourself, that you already have everything you need within, and that my job is to support you whilst you process the emotional build-up which is splitting you apart.

My approach is informed by Clarkson’s 5 relationship model, Carl Jung’s individuation process, “parts” therapy/internal family systems, Bowlby’s attachment theory, spiritual teachings such as those from John Kabatt-Zinn and Eckhart Tolle, Peter Levine’s somatic theory, and mindfulness practices such as yoga and vipassana meditation.

Practicalities

I offer in-person sessions in Greenwich SE10, King’s Cross N1 or online via Zoom. If you'd like to get to know more about my approach, you're welcome to email me with any questions you may have or to book a discounted consultation session to come and meet me and get a feel of how it would be to work together.

I hope to connect with you soon!
