Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to psychotherapy that supports healing from past and present trauma. It recognises that stress and traumatic experiences are held not only in the mind, but also within the body and nervous system.
Using a bottom-up approach, somatic therapy focuses on bodily sensations, breath, and nervous system responses rather than relying on talking or cognitive insight. This helps individuals build emotional awareness and develop practical skills to regulate their nervous system, supporting greater safety, balance, and wellbeing.
