Anxiety has a way of shaping more of your life than you'd like, whether it shows up as overthinking, panic, constant doubt, or being on edge all the time.
For some people anxiety looks like panic or physical sensations. For others it looks like never feeling good enough, holding back in relationships, going quiet when they would want to speak up, or pushing through everything until they're exhausted.
What keeps most people stuck is that they’re waiting to feel ready to do something that they want to do but which feels scary. And more often than not, the feeling comes after the behaviour.

There was a time when I sat where you may be sitting now, wondering whether counselling could help. When I first sought therapy, I was struggling with work pressures, relationships and uncertainty about the future. What I found was a safe space to be heard without judgement, and that experience eventually led me to become a counsellor. Today, I offer a warm, confidential space for clients to explore life's challenges. I am also a practising supervisor. While I work with adults of all ages, I particularly enjoy working with young people, whose resilience and potential give me hope for the future.

I support children and young people experiencing anxiety, low mood, school distress, emotional overwhelm and low self-esteem. Many families I work with have autistic, ADHD or otherwise neurodivergent children who may feel misunderstood, exhausted from masking or struggling with daily demands. Parents often reach out when their child is avoiding school, experiencing meltdowns, withdrawing from activities or finding emotions difficult to manage. I offer a warm, supportive space where young people can better understand themselves, build confidence and develop helpful coping strategies.

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.
