Somatic Counselling in Liverpool
I trained in somatic/body-based therapy in America and integrate that approach when its right.
I see clients in my Liverpool city centre office and online.
Human minds don’t fit a single template and effective therapy shouldn’t either. We start with you in mind, what’s going on for you, how you process thoughts, feelings, emotions and environments and what outcomes you’d like to see.
I’m a specialist in neurodiversity. I’ve learnt and keep learning from leading edge research to develop neuro affirming therapies that are effective.

I have three main tools in my belt: person-centred therapy, somatic trauma recovery and creative arts.
I am here for the ones who feel they don't belong. The weird ones, who feel out of step with the world, or want to live an ‘alternative’ life. Maybe you identify as neurodivergent, queer or have been othered in some way. Maybe you struggle with chronic illness or pain and have fallen outside of societal norms. Maybe your own body feels alien and out of control.

Anxiety has a way of shaping more of your life than you'd like. For some people it looks like panic or physical sensations. For others it looks like compulsive behaviour, never feeling good enough, holding back in relationships, going quiet when they'd want to speak up, or pushing through everything until they're exhausted.
People come to me thinking something is wrong with them, when actually fear is keeping them stuck.

Are you not feeling like you are getting the most out of life and feel somewhat stuck in some way? Maybe you notice that your over-reacting with certain people or when in certain places or situations? Do you avoid doing certain things due to overwhelming feelings? Are you feeling unhelpful amounts of guilt/shame, feel unsafe in someway or out of control? If so, I can help you work through these by tailoring your sessions to your individual needs so that you learn about your self, start working towards your goal(s) and then start become self-sufficient with regard to what life throws at you.

If logically understanding 'why' hasn't helped you, let's talk about how my somatic, body-based approach can.
In a session, we might be tracking what's happening in your body as well as your mind as we talk; noticing when you're wired and on edge versus shut down and numb, and what helps you move between the two; or slowing down enough to notice what you actually need, rather than what you think you should be doing.

I facilitate a space where together we can creatively explore your feelings and thoughts about yourself and how they can be connected to events in the past, the present and the future.
My interest is in the unconscious being made available in the session, that we can make a long lasting change to your relationship with yourself and therefore your outer world.

I tend to work by using mindful and heavily ' somatic' approaches, integrating counselling, and psychotherapy along the way.
No need to contact; Self book. +20 years exp. I love to help people when some kind of relationship has caused problems no matter how long ago. I usually help people with anger, chronic anxiety, childhood, dissociation types, memory gaps, neglect, feeling too much, neurodivergent, difficult relationships, chronic pain, freezing, fear, numbness, trauma, and CPTSD. I take an organic approach, integrating modern therapies that create space and flow for healing. Most of my clients come not knowing where to start.

I'm an integrative, relational therapist who works with individuals navigating life transitions, relationship patterns, and the lingering impact of childhood and family dynamics. Many of my clients look like they "have it together" on the outside — they're reponsible, capable, and independent. But inside, they feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or exhausted from holding everything together for everyone else.
Therapy with me offers a space where you don't need to be the "strong" one. A space where you can slow down, make sense of what's going underneath, and be met with attunement, warmth, and genuine care.

CPD Certificates in IFS, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Therapy for Trauma, and Neurodiversity and Trauma.
You may feel that you are coping with the demands of daily life, yet carry an inner sense of overwhelm, confusion, or a feeling that something essential is missing. Perhaps you appear capable on the outside but inwardly experience disconnection from yourself, difficulty trusting your own thoughts and decisions, repeating relationship patterns, anxiety, or a longing for a deeper sense of meaning and belonging. You may find yourself questioning who you are beneath the roles, expectations, and adaptations that have helped you survive, while sensing a quiet longing to reconnect with your true self and the life you were meant to live.

My ideal clients are people living with PTSD or have experienced complex trauma in their earlier years. This may include single incident trauma, birth trauma, medical trauma, workplace trauma, or experiences that still feel active in the body and nervous system. I also work with complex trauma, which may come from lots of smaller or relational experiences over time and present as relational difficulties, mood swings, low self-worth, chronic tension, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from yourself. I support clients using EMDR, nervous system regulation and body-based modalities.

Hi, I’m Angie and i'm glad you're here. I work with adults using Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, which means I pay attention to the patterns and dynamics that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. I offer a safe, respectful and collaborative space to explore whatever brings you to therapy.
I understand how daunting it can feel to start therapy. It takes courage to look at the parts of ourselves that we keep hidden and may feel overwhelming or painful. But I also believe that going to the places we fear most can lead to the deepest growth and hold the biggest freedoms.

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.
