Trauma Processing
Just like a normal counselling session, Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a talking therapy that works to hear the story of the body. Working with the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) (SE frameworks), we look to describe the felt sensations of the body.
Learning to mindfully track your nervous system in the company of an attuned practitioner allows you to stay present when identifying how your sensations move and change within the body.
This gives you the capacity to become organised and complete a motor response that can resolve trauma.
SE works with all types of trauma.
Developing a felt sense of safety is a priority. In combination with the utmost respect, compassion and positive regard for you and your experience, safety is paramount in the treatment of your trauma and its symptoms.
This body-oriented psychotherapy allows you to safely initiate changes within your nervous system. You will experience a sense of aliveness, relaxation and wholeness. You will develop an ability to regulate – a return to a settled state often experienced as a relaxed alertness.
SE aims to expand your capacity to self-regulate your body’s responses and widen your ‘window of resilience’. You can have greater access to life.
Sometimes weighted blankets, cushions, sensory pads, blankets, and sensorimotor art therapy techniques, such as guided drawing and the clay field, are used in therapy sessions. This helps with safety, grounding, integration and completion.
Safety, Stabilisation & Nervous System Regulation
Before deeper processing can occur, it’s essential to build a foundation of internal safety and stability. This service supports clients to develop self-regulation skills, cultivate nervous-system awareness, and build “resources” (internal anchors) to help them remain present when experiencing difficult sensations or emotions. This stabilisation phase helps prevent re-traumatization as deeper work begins.
Stress Management
Feeling stressed all the time? We help you recognise how stress shows up in your body, and teach practical ways to release it and feel more relaxed. Whether your stress is work-related, emotional, or physical, you’ll learn how to respond in healthier ways that support long-term wellbeing.
Body Awareness & Self‑Regulation
A key aim of SE-based work is helping clients reconnect with their bodies. This service helps you tune in to your body’s signals (added this line which is why it is in bold). In this service, the focus is on cultivating deeper body awareness (interoception, proprioception), noticing how sensations shift, and using that noticing as a doorway into regulating one’s physiology. Over time, individuals become more able to self‑soothe, settle, and return to a state of “just right” arousal.
Support for Emotional, Anger & Mental Wellbeing
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by emotions like anger, anxiety, or sadness, this service helps you understand and regulate those feelings. We work with what’s happening in your body — not just your thoughts — so you can feel more in control, respond instead of react, and build emotional stability over time.
SE for Grief, Loss & Existential Challenges
Grief and loss can feel overwhelming – not just emotionally, but physically. This service offers gentle, supportive space to feel what you need to feel, without becoming overwhelmed. We help your body process grief at its own pace, so you can move forward gradually reintegrate what’s been lost with more peace and meaning.
