In somatic counselling we work with the whole of the person, online or in-person.

​​

It is traditional 'talking' counselling but with a very practical elements to physically affect the body and therefore the mind. Often in today's world we use our brain and 'logic' to such an extent that we have forgotten the wisdom of the body and therefore our intuition. We can no longer differentiate between anxiety and excitement, between discomfort and pain. As we strengthen our body-mind connection, and start to regulate the nervous system, we connect with ourselves again.

​

​​These somatic techniques are derived from my professional experience in yoga and in mindful based practices as well as those practices drawn from psychological somatics in my Somatic Counselling training. This stabilisation alone can often offer some relief from symptoms and be robust starting point on a path of healing to feel life more fully, or overcoming a particular event. A we build relational and nervous system stability, we might take a deeper dive and explore processing drawn from numerous disciplines such as internet family systems, bi-lateral processing and somatic processing, as examples.

​

Sessions are 75minutes* so we have time to explore your story in depth at the same time as learning practical somatic techniques as we progress along this healing path.

​

Sessions are available online, so you can work with me wherever you are in the world; or you can attend in person in our peaceful space in the Scottish highlands.
