Integrating Body and Mind

Online somatically-informed integrative counselling aims to promote healing across mind, body and soul.

I use my somatic training to help clients notice what is happening underneath their thoughts and conceptual feelings, encouraging them to be curious around how these show up in the body. We pay attention to the signals of the nervous system, touching in to sensations and playing with movement safely, gradually learning to trust the bodies' own healing process, releasing what may be stuck. We can also bring in the imagination through creative visualizations, to grow empowerment and create new ways of being. 

Also trained in psychodynamic therapy, I can help my clients link their embodied experiences to their unconscious ways of being, bringing light into the shadows. Gently, and with compassion, creating more understanding and insight around instinctive patterns which may have begun early-on in life, affecting relationships and beliefs in the present. 

Lastly, trained in the person-centred approach, I strive to work collaboratively, led by my clients. Offering warmth and respect at all times, helping them to rediscover a self which is authentic, loved and understood.
