Somatic Experiencing

Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented approach that supports the nervous system in working with stress and the effects of trauma. While traditional talk therapy often focuses on thoughts, emotions, and making sense of our experiences, Somatic Experiencing brings the body into the process. Sometimes, talking about what happened is helpful, but change doesn't always come from telling our story again. By slowing down and paying attention to bodily sensations and the body's responses, we can begin to explore what is happening beneath the surface, at a pace that feels manageable.

Sessions offer a supportive space to reconnect with your body's own resources, gradually build your capacity to navigate challenging experiences, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and your experiences. Somatic Experiencing can also complement counselling, bringing together an understanding of your story with a deeper awareness of how your experiences live on in the body.
