YOUR BODY REMEMBERS. LET'S HELP IT HEAL.
Somatic Therapy
Anxiety doesn't just live in your mind. It lives in your body.
If talk therapy has helped but you still feel tense, on-edge or strangely stuck, there may be more going on than thoughts alone. Somatic therapy is a gentle, body-centred approach that works with your nervous system to release what words alone can't reach.
How the body holds on
When we live through stress or trauma, the body often keeps holding the tension long after the moment has passed. It can quietly show up as:
Chronic tension
Ongoing tightness in the jaw, shoulders or back that never quite lets go.
Anxiety & panic
High alertness, panic or PTSD-type symptoms that feel hard to switch off.
Feeling disconnected
A sense of being numb, frozen or somehow separate from yourself.
Physical exhaustion
Digestive troubles or a deep tiredness that rest doesn't seem to fix.
What to expect in a session
Gentle, unhurried and always at your pace.
Body awareness
We notice the quiet signals - tension, warmth, tingling - and listen to what your body is trying to say.
Grounding & resourcing
Simple techniques to calm your nervous system and build a felt sense of safety.
Pendulation
We move gently between stress and calm, so trauma is processed in pieces you can handle.
Movement & breath
Where it helps, gentle movement or breathwork to release stored tension.
What can shift
Clients often describe feeling more at home in their own skin - calmer, more present and more themselves.
Lasting relief
Real reduction in PTSD symptoms, intrusive thoughts and background anxiety.
Steadier emotions
More resilience to stress, so daily life feels less overwhelming.
Reconnection
A restored mind-body connection, and more self-awareness and self-compassion.
Less physical pain
Easing of the tension-related aches that talk therapy alone rarely touches.
