Somatic Counselling in Luton
If you are feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or exhausted from masking and coping alone, you are not on your own. Many of the people I work with are ADHD, Autistic or AuDHD (diagnosed, self-identified, or exploring) and struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, and feeling misunderstood or ‘too much/not enough’.
I am a BACP registered counsellor specialising in neurodivergence (ADHD and Autism) and relational trauma. This includes the impact of emotionally difficult or unsafe relationships, attachment wounds, and patterns that can leave you feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected from yourself and others.

I work with adults experiencing relationship difficulties, anxiety in relationships and low self-esteem or feelings of not being 'good enough.'
You may feel anxious or on edge in relationships but more confident when on your own, or notice repeating relationships patterns that feel difficult to change. You may struggle to express how you feel, leading to frustration, self-doubt or feeling overlooked.

Want to explore what's brought you to therapy in a safe, compassionate, non-judgemental setting? I'm an Integrative psychotherapist - the essence of my practice is to work with you transparently and with warmth, empathy, humour and gentle challenge. Perhaps you’re struggling - feeling alone and isolated. Maybe you’re overwhelmed, depressed, burnt out or anxious. It could be that what you’re experiencing isn’t any of these - maybe you don't feel yourself and you don’t know why.

Since, a holistic healing requires an integration of the mind and body, I pay specific attention to the somatic process along with the psychological work.
People turn to therapy in order to address the pain rooted in the past traumas. They opt for therapy when they feel unseen and unsupported. Once their instinctive needs to be seen and heard are fulfilled, people are able to revert to the Self. They are able to identify the negative self-perceptions and coping mechanisms that were adopted to be able to survive in a non supportive environment. Through therapy, people seek to empower themselves and take charge of their lives independently. I have frequently witnessed my clients experience deep healing with a holistic psychosomatic approach that is rooted in compassion.

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.
