Somatic Experiencing
An embodied approach to settling the nervous system
What It Is
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a naturalistic form of healing with a particular focus on our physiological sensations and states that helps you learn how to settle and release tension and activation from your body.
This process enables you to become more aware of how to pick up on dysregulation in your body and how to come back to a state of regulation, helping you reduce stress and feel a sense of competency and confidence in your life.

How I Use It
I am a qualified Somatic Experiencing practitioner, qualifying in 2020, so I can offer an embodied approach to my practice: I help you connect to your bodily experience, understand the possible reasons your body expresses itself the way that it does, and learn to relate to it better.
I often help clients understand how to connect to their fight, flight and shutdown responses, and how to work with them. This work can sit alongside talking therapy or lead it, depending on what is most helpful for you.
