What is Somatic Psychotherapy ?
Reconnecting with you…
Somatic Counselling is a body-focused therapy that helps individuals reconnect with their physical sensations, emotions, and inner experiences.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which primarily engages the mind, somatic treatment involves the whole body, recognising it as a key source of emotional insight and healing.
This approach supports deeper self-awareness and healing by listening to where stress, trauma, and emotional experiences are stored in the body.
It can be ideal for those who feel stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed.
It helps release tension, access suppressed emotions, and understand instinctual patterns that shape behaviour.
By working directly with bodily sensations, this approach bypasses overthinking and opens the door to authentic transformation, especially for people who struggle to “talk through” their experiences.

Re-Regulate Your Nervous System
Come back to safety through the body.
Understand what activates you.
Gently process stored emotions.
Build nervous system resilience.
Even when your mind forgets, your body remembers.
The way you feel, react, and protect yourself is often shaped by earlier experiences or the ways you’ve learned to cope. These responses aren't faults—they’re messages.
They deserve understanding, not fixing.
Somatic psychotherapy may help you slowly listen to your body’s signals.
It may help you notice when your body is looking for safety, connection, or calm, especially if you’ve experienced trauma, stress, or any other sensory overwhelm.
By paying attention to sensations, movement, breath, and instinct, this approach helps you reconnect with yourself more deeply.
It’s not just about thinking—it’s about feeling and sensing, too.
Change starts when you feel safe enough to tune in.
When your body has a voice in the process, real change can happen.
