Somatic Counselling in Amersham
Sometimes life can present difficult challenges. When that happens it's easy to feel confused, lonely, stuck and perhaps even judged. I can help you by providing a space for realisation, processing trauma and finding greater inner peace and freedom to live the life you wish for. I believe that the most important relationship we have is with ourselves. Having self compassion and being at peace with one’s self can be difficult to practice. I want to bring you hope and support you in becoming your own best friend.

I often work in a somatic, or mindbody way, connecting your physical and psychological symptoms, we may use techniques such as focusing, visualisation, somatic tracking and emotion wheels.
I support clients with anxiety, trauma and/or chronic pain and illness to live their best life. Anxiety can be debilitating and overwhelming. I work with you to offer new perspective, to resolve issues and find new ways forward. We often 'block' thoughts as a coping strategy, and whilst this can be very useful, it can increase anxiety. If you experience physical symptoms such as headaches, IBS, joint pain or fibromyalgia, your body may be literally holding the weight of your anxiety. We can consider whether a more holistic approach will help you–exploring the connection between your physical symptoms and your emotions.

As a warm-hearted, grounded person I bring authenticity to all my therapeutic work. Fundamental to my approach as a therapist is to offer a relationship of equality.

I place emphasis on building a therapeutic relationship, believing it facilitates change to occur and offering myself as a companion accompanying you on your journey, at your own pace, to help you gain clarity and perspective.

A happy relationship is core to your well-being and success in other areas of your life and this is why I am passionate about working with couples, helping you to communicate better so that you feel seen and heard, which can improve your emotional and physical connection. I also work with individuals who may want to have therapy in the context of their relationship.

We will utilise verbal retelling, somatic exploration, chair work, writing, creativity and we will utilise our relationship to give us insight into your others.
I think we sometimes come to therapy not knowing exactly what it is that's causing us pain. Maybe we feel fear, anger, confusion or just a sense of detachment from who we feel we used to be or could be; sometimes it is only symptoms (such as addictions, eating disorders, OCD) which we can identify. You might be experiencing family or work issues or, maybe, you’re in grief (from a death/relationship breakdown or any significant change in your life). Whatever your reason for wanting therapy I know that, ultimately, we want to feel better than we do right now.

You may be thoughtful and capable yet feel stuck in confusing relationship patterns, family dynamics, or emotional situations that leave you worn down. Many people come to therapy feeling they carry too much responsibility for others or struggle to trust their own perceptions. I work with individuals and couples to understand what keeps happening in their relationships and find clearer, steadier ways forward.

As a somatic, trauma-informed counsellor and supervisor, I help you reduce nervous system overload, untangle old patterns and process loss at a steady pace.
You're capable, responsible and often the one others rely on. On the surface you’re coping, but underneath you may feel exhausted, anxious or quietly overwhelmed. You might be navigating grief, burnout or the long-term impact of growing up with an emotionally immature or narcissistic parent. You want relief from constant pressure, a calmer nervous system, and space to reconnect with who you are - not just who you’ve had to be.

Many people who come to me learned to cope by pleasing, pushing, or performing, and now feel disconnected from their instincts, bodies, or relationships. This usually shows up as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, ongoing stress, body symptoms, or repeating patterns in relationships or work.
In working together we'll explore whatever feels most relevant for you whether that’s something happening now, a pattern you’re noticing, or a sense that’s hard to put into words. As awareness grows, change starts to organically happen.

I'm Beth, a clinical psychologist and therapeutic yoga teacher integrating modern psychology with somatic processing.

I draw on CBT, EMDR, and somatic tools.
I’m a therapist specialising in confidence, social anxiety (including public speaking anxiety) and visibility. I work with thoughtful clients who look accomplished on the outside — but behind the scenes, anxiety is calling the shots.
That anxiety might show up before big meetings.
In group settings where you feel on display.
Or in those quiet moments of overthinking, second-guessing, and wondering, “Am I really good enough to be here?”
Many of my clients are professionals, creatives or entrepreneurs. They’ve learned how to perform confidence — but it still feels effortful, and often exhausting, and doesn't eliminate anxiety.

Counselling can help you to explore and work through emotional difficulties you may be experiencing that could be affecting your thoughts and behaviours. It is a space for you to share things that you may be finding difficult to talk to your friends and family about. These difficulties may be from your past that are now causing problems in your present or from a more recent trauma you have experienced in your life such as a relationship break-up, loss of someone close to you or difficulties with getting to sleep or sleep not feeling like sleep anymore, but feeling more like an escape.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
