What is
Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is a body-centred approach to healing that integrates the connection between mind and body. It focuses on how physical sensations, movement and posture relate to emotional experiences, aiming to release tension and trauma stored in the body.

How Does It Work?

Somatic therapy works by increasing awareness of bodily sensations and responses. Through guided attention, breathing, touch or gentle movement, clients process unresolved emotions. This helps regulate the nervous system, relieve stress and restore a sense of safety, presence and emotional balance.

Who is It For?

Somatic therapy is beneficial for individuals dealing with trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, or physical symptoms related to emotional distress. It can help those who feel disconnected from their bodies or emotions and is suitable for people seeking holistic, body-informed healing.

What Happens in a Session?

In a session, the therapist may guide the client to focus on specific sensations or areas of the body. Techniques like breathwork, grounding exercises or movement may be used. The therapist gently supports emotional release while helping the client feel safe and regulated.
