A Somatic & Heart Centred Approach To Wellbeing.
What is Somatic Counselling?
Soma is a Greek word meaning “the living body”. Somatic Counselling adds a significant element to talk therapy by including the bodily experience. It is grounded in the belief that not only are thought, emotion and bodily experience inextricably linked (creating a body-mind), but also that change can be brought about in one domain of experience by mindfully accessing another.
The intention is bring wholeness and restoration to the physical, emotional, mental and energetic bodies.
A holistic healing approach
These sessions are a collaborative experience that meet you where you are at. Creating safety and trust is a key element as it allows us to journey together in a held and contained way.
Sessions often involve somatic practices, talk therapy, mindfulness and other trauma informed therapeutic methods. Practical integration practices may also be offered depending on the nature of the session.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Somatic counselling offers many outcomes which often includes the development of self awareness through exploration and expression, increased self regulation, vitality and aliveness.
This approach can help deepen a sense of connection to ones self and to others. It can improve body sensing, relieve stress, balance the nervous system and help to uncover the attitudes that have potentially caused disconnection. It also helps explore patterns of emotional and physical contraction and expansion as well as develop a sense of unfurling and development.
Like other psychodynamic treatments, somatic counselling is capable of treating a broad range of issues:
From Anxiety, Depression, Relationship difficulties, Low self esteem, and Emotional instability, to Grief and loss, Childhood abuse, Sexual assault, Despair, Spiritual issues, and Eating disorders and Addictions.
Because of the specific theories and techniques relating to the process of embodiment, somatic counselling is uniquely placed to assist people recovering from trauma, and this is especially so where the ordinary states of ongoing embodiment are disrupted.
