Hi, I’m Karen and I am an experienced BACP Accredited integrative psychotherapist. If you’ve been trying to cope for a while but are now finding things too much, why don’t we have a chat? Grief, loss, anxiety, anger or depression can be even more overwhelming in our fast-paced, stressful and uncertain world. Climate distress is increasingly affecting us all but can be hard to talk about. Living with distress or dis-ease takes its toll on our mental, emotional and physical health and can lead to chronic stress, tension or feelings of despair.

I support people towards a life where food feels less loaded, and where their sense of worth isn’t tied to what they eat, or how their body looks.

Whatever form this takes, I work with it - from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and ARFID, to orthorexia and excessive/compulsive exercise. If you're experiencing constant thoughts about food, weight, and appearance, or feeling stuck in cycles you can't break then I'd love to help you.

In psychodynamic psychotherapy, there is a focus on your emotional world and how feelings are expressed or avoided; in time, we'd identify recurring themes and patterns in your life; we would think about past experience and how it relates to the present; we'd get to know your relationships, including the therapy relationship itself; and, because emotional conflict is often unconscious, we would explore the non-verbal parts of your experience – daydreams, dreams, gestures, movements, sensations and intuitions – the things in our experience that sit closer to unconscious life.

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.
