The decision to attend counselling can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming. It is the quality of the 'therapeutic relationship' that is key to progress, so that you feel supported and comfortable to talk about what matters to you. I believe passionately in the counselling process, and for me the promotion of positive mental health and well-being is at the core of our work together. (Please do take a look at my website heretolisten.uk for further information about my practice and how I work, as well as some examples of client reviews.)

Are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed or anxious? Do you feel haunted by your past? Does it feel like you’re not in the driving seat of your own life, repeating the same patterns of behaviour that have a negative impact on you or others around you? Do you want things to change? It’s very easy in today’s world to become lost, not able to navigate our way through and find meaning, which can lead to feeling like we have no compass guiding us. We might lean on people, places or behaviours that help us to cope in the moment but take away our power. I work with people who want to find their way again.

In the busy fast paced world we live in sometimes we can forget ourselves, just keep going with little thought to meeting our own needs and life just kind of getting in the way with its stressors and obstacles it often throws at us. Does this sound familiar? If your reading this it may be that you are now thinking about YOU and that is something you ought to be proud of , you're taking that first step. This shows that you have courage. Let's take the next step together.

It could be that we start to doubt ourselves and feel that we are not good enough or we are unable to cope, leading to anxiety and depression. Whatever you are going through, it deserves care, attention and compassion. You may be struggling to make meaning of what is going on around as you navigate life changes or have experienced traumatic events that you need some relief from. Whatever you are going through, I hope to help.

Making sense of life and our relationships can be challenging at times. We might find ourselves contemplating if we are causing ourselves unnecessary unhappiness, or if this is 'just the way things are'? Should I just keep sticking at 'it', or is it time for things to change? Might we be living our lives in 'survival mode' when we could be 'thriving' instead?

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.

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.
