Somatic Experiencing®

An Embodied Approach to Individual Therapy with Trauma Resolution.

Integrate the past and live from Presence

I am passionate about my current life-transforming 4 year study Somatic Experiencing® by Dr. Peter Levine. 

Through the re-patterning of your nervous system, you can return to healthy self-regulation and aid the release of tension and trauma stored in the body.  You will be provided valuable tools to assist with challenges and to feel more grounded in your day to day life, such as the capacity to meet the wounds of the past with greater compassion. This integration allows your life to unfold with loving awareness & presence.

Relational healing occurs when early attachment wounds are addressed, over time fostering healthy, secure connections. We all want to be seen and heard in our deepest authenticity.

I combine Somatic Experiencing®, Inner Child work, Voice Dialogue, Attachment Work and Somatic Experiencing® Touch work to ease and dissolve tension in the body, heart and mind, where trauma, pain or confusion have become overwhelming and interrupt the natural flow of life.

Through an embodied approach we meet unconscious layers of protection, fear, contraction & limitation, to support opening into more aliveness, fluidity and self-awareness.

A session unfolds in an organic & creative way, depending on the issues arising and according to what is ready to be met.

The sessions consist of two parts. We start with a check in, a space to share your wishes and intentions and open what may need to be expressed and healed. The second part we explore how that feels and moves through your body, and listen to what your body has to share - connecting you to innate resources to facilitate self-healing in day-to-day life

We address the body’s needs through self-touch to experience freedom through holding yourself in a hug, tracking the sensations & feelings in the body and noticing how that can support you.

For example, when your belly is hurting to listen to what it wants to tell you and honour its needs & wishes.

Stop Hurting. Start Healing.

Recognise how the symptoms of shame can affect your body, mind, emotions and behaviour patterns.

Distinguish between unhealthy (toxic) and healthy shame (designed to protect us).

Understand where shame comes from—and the role early trauma or early attachment injury can play in our adult relationships or behaviour patterns.

Practice simple—yet powerful—healing strategies that help you release shameful feelings, judgments and expectations.

Encounter your inner critic so you can pull yourself out of the self-blame cycle to cultivate self-compassion as a daily habit. Grow more resilient, change negative narratives and begin to feel a deep sense of self-esteem.  Ready to free yourself from shame and feel more at peace?

Attachment Work: The Neurobiology of Loving Relationships 

Explore the role of neuroscience in restoring the brain’s natural attunement to secure attachment.

Our brain is a social brain; it is primed for connection, not isolation, and its innate quality of plasticity gives it the ability to re-establish, reveal, and expand one’s intrinsic healthy attachment system.

Creating Healthy Adult Relationships.

Everyday, people are looking for clues to the mystery of loving relationships.

We can look at early attachment styles and how they manifest in adult personal relationships of all kinds – friends, family, and romantic partners or spouses.

Providing keys to that mystery by learning how to compassionately free yourself from the patterns of early attachment wounds that influence adult relationships, to support deeper, happier, and more fulfilling relationships.
