I work in a gentle, integrative way, bringing together psychotherapy and somatic awareness.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure why certain emotions or body sensations keep showing up. Many people I work with feel disconnected from themselves or stuck in overwhelming patterns they can’t quite explain, often for a long period of time. I offer a calm, supportive space to explore what’s happening in your body and nervous system, helping you feel more grounded, regulated and connected again. This way of working can be particularly helpful if anxiety, stress or trauma show up physically through tension, fatigue, pain or shutdown.

Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem? You aren't alone. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, right? Whether you're carrying the weight of daily pressures, navigating significant changes, or sensing that something important is missing, it’s natural to feel off-balance and uncertain. Perhaps past experiences may also be resurfacing, adding to the complexity of your emotions and making it difficult to manage the tornado of feelings. In these moments, it’s okay to reach out and explore what you truly need.

Maybe the journey isn't about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be all along. Our lives present unique challenges – relationship difficulties, bereavements, life transitions, & chronic symptoms - often creating feelings of frustration, anxiety, & sadness. At such times it is easy to forget that we all need assistance in addressing these challenges, especially as they can often feel overwhelming, or even impossible, to deal with. We all deserve to have support when we are struggling, & often it is specifically this support that allows change to occur.

Hi, I’m Linzi, a qualified, compassionate therapist in Hull, and I hope to have the privilege of hearing your story, and offering a warm, accepting, and safe space for you to feel heard and supported, and where you can truly be yourself.
If you're feeling stuck in the same painful cycles, whether that be doubting your value, battling anxiety, or feeling weighed down by sadness, I want you to know that you are not alone in this, and there is hope. Healing begins not with ‘fixing’ these parts of you, but with being gently witnessed and supported in all that you carry.

Hi, I'm Emily. I have over 15 years of experience supporting people with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self esteem, emotional overwhelm, physical health and trauma. Sometimes emotional problems don't fit neatly into these categories and it can be hard describing exactly what you want to change. I spend time guiding people through an assessment of what they struggle with to develop a shared understanding of their goals and what therapy I could offer.

Therapy with me is a collaborative, relational process, which means we create it together. My focus is on building a space where you can feel safe enough to be curious about the parts of yourself that may feel hurt, lost, defended, ashamed, or stuck.
You don’t need a diagnosis or a fixed goal to begin therapy. We can start where you are and move at your pace. You might be coming to therapy feeling anxious, low, or overwhelmed by life events or patterns that no longer serve you.
My work is informed by both my training and my own lived experiences, and I aim to hold space that is inclusive, trauma-aware, and neurodiversity-affirming

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.
