What brings you to this search today? A current issue? At the surface maybe yes, but at a deeper level, maybe there's more. What might you be really seeking?
Often life seems to keep throwing us challenges, situations that we don't want or like. Situations that are painful and even shameful. We might look at this, 'zoomed in' and try to manage or firefight, which can work in the short term. But there is another way if we zoom out a little and hold both views. What is the lesson I need to learn from this situation? What work might I need to do on myself to finally move forward? What gift might this painful situation have to offer?

Instead of just managing symptoms, we look beneath conscious thoughts to resolve the root causes of distress, while building practical, somatic tools to help your nervous system step out of chronic survival mode.
Why do you feel anxious or guilty when nothing is wrong? Inexplicably tense around certain people, or suddenly flat and stripped of motivation? You've probably got so good at performing that those around you think you're thriving, but inside you're holding your breath. Managing this constant, silent exhaustion is draining. It can be a lonely place to live, trapped in cycles of overthinking and waiting for things to either work out, or fall apart. Working online gives us the flexibility to slow things down from the comfort of your own space; together, we can work out what's going on and safely resolve the patterns keeping you stuck.

Have you been thinking about counselling for some time? Maybe you’ve been putting it off, because you hope that things will get better, or that your problems aren’t important enough to seek help. Taking that first step can be really difficult. Finding the right therapist can be even harder. You might feel anxious, confused and intimidated by the choice.

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.
