What Is Somatic Therapy?
Somatic therapy is a body-centred approach that recognises the deep connection between mind, body, and nervous system. Rather than focusing solely on talking about experiences, it gently invites awareness of bodily sensations, movement, breath, and posture as pathways to healing.
Somatic therapy supports people in accessing emotions that may be difficult to reach through talk therapy alone. Overwhelming experiences, mental health challenges, or past stress can become held in the body, often showing up as anxiety, depression, physical tension, chronic pain, or disconnection. Somatic methods help these patterns gradually unwind in a safe, paced, and respectful way.
Our therapists draw on approaches such as Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, guiding clients to understand how their nervous system responds to stress, threat, and connection. This integrative, trauma-informed work honours the whole person, supporting healing that is both emotional and physical.
