Somatic Counselling in Lichfield
Somatic psychotherapy supports you to slow down, reconnect with your body and begin to gently shift patterns that no longer serve you.
My work is body-based and trauma-informed, combining somatic psychotherapy and biodynamic massage. We explore how emotions and experiences are held in the body, supporting regulation, awareness, and a greater sense of grounding and connection.

Hi, I am Sam. I am a counsellor, a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, ex-educator, and good all round human. There has been a lot of life before counselling and lived experience of mental health, both my own and family members. I understand only too well the ripple effect that mental health has on relationships. There is a way forward, to heal and repair. Having someone that isn't emotionally involved in your daily affairs, that you feel you can trust and is really hearing you, can be the first step to a healthy and long recovery. Welcome, I look forward to meeting you.

I often use elements of Neuroscience and Somatic work too, to help with understanding that the mind and body cannot be separated.
Psychodynamic counselling or psychotherapy is effective in allowing you to make positive changes to your life, so you can deal with any overwhelming issues that are causing you emotional pain, unhappiness, or stress now. Perhaps you're feeling trapped or blocked by the past, feeling stuck in survival mode with old patterns that keep resurfacing. Maybe you are recently grieving from a loss of some kind, or can’t make sense of a general flatness or despair with feelings of depression, and anxiety. I provide a non-judgemental, inclusive space to explore these difficult parts, thoughts and feelings to gain greater understanding.

So alongside talking therapy I draw gently on body-based, somatic practices, helping you release what you’ve been holding rather than only thinking your way through it.
Something has brought you here. Maybe it’s stress that won’t let up, anxiety that has made the world feel smaller or a loss that has changed the shape of things. Maybe you’re not sure exactly what it is - only that something needs to shift. I work with adults navigating stress and anxiety, grief and loss, trauma and the harder chapters of life. Many of the people I see are functioning on the outside while carrying something heavier underneath - tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix, holding it together but not quite themselves.

Life is challenging and can feel like you’re on a hamster wheel of pressure, ‘have-tos’ and obligations. The more you do, the more the wheel spins, and the faster you descend into overwhelm, stress, anxiety, and burn-out. I can support you to overcome these challenges, as well as relational trauma and abuse, racial trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. I offer a compassionate space for us to explore what you have experienced in life, how these experiences shaped you, and how you can make comfortable changes that support you to live a joyful, balanced, inspired, and fulfilling life.

I have a particular interest in working with clients of African and African-Caribbean heritage, especially those with experiences of separation, abandonment, displacement, and spiritual or religious conflict. My work is informed by an awareness of the ongoing systemic barriers these communities often face in accessing mental health support, and the impact this can have on identity, belonging, and wellbeing. At the same time, my intercultural orientation emphasises dialogue across cultures, allowing me to navigate issues of sameness and difference with curiosity and sensitivity.

Everyone carries a unique history, and no two experiences of struggle are exactly alike. You may be facing a specific life transition, feeling overwhelmed by a sense of unease, or simply sensing that you are not living as fully as you could be. Whether your challenges feel clear or are still difficult to define, you deserve a space where you are heard without judgment. You are looking for more than just a listener; you want a partner to help you navigate your internal world. Your goal is to move toward a life that feels more authentic, resilient, and balanced, guided by your own pace and needs.

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.
