SOMATIC EXPERIENCING AND HOLISTIC COUNSELLING

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a bio-physiological approach to healing trauma by working with the nervous system. It targets the effects of past adversity — relational, developmental or shock trauma — that live in the body and the brain's non-cognitive regions, often beyond the reach of talk therapy alone.

​

My approach draws on holistic counselling to enhance SE, weaving in elements of transpersonal psychology, cognitive processing therapy, movement therapies and body awareness practices. This blend deepens awareness of physical sensation and emotional state, supporting a more complete healing process. Through moment-to-moment attention to the body's sensations, SE gently restores the natural flow of life energy, allowing pent-up symptoms and stored energy to safely release from the nervous system.

​

In session, clients move through the release of past trauma toward a state of relaxed wholeness — body, heart and mind working as one. By bringing together these somatic processes, my practice offers a tailored therapeutic experience centred on healing and restoration.
