Embodied Therapy.

What is embodied therapy?

Sometimes talking isn't enough.

Many of us carry stress, anxiety and difficult experiences not only in our minds, but in our bodies too. You might notice this as tight shoulders, a racing heart, shallow breathing, exhaustion or feeling disconnected from yourself.

Embodied therapy gently brings awareness to these experiences, helping you notice how your body responds and offering ways to feel more grounded, settled and connected.

​

My approach is shaped by my training as both a psychotherapist and yoga teacher. Alongside talking therapy, I may invite simple practices such as breath awareness, mindfulness, grounding or gentle movement if they feel appropriate for you.

​

You don't need any experience of yoga, and there's never any expectation to move your body in ways that feel uncomfortable. These practices are always optional and led by your preferences. 

​​

Learning to notice and listen to your body can help you better understand stress, anxiety and the impact of past experiences. Together, we'll explore what helps you feel safe, connected and more able to respond to life's challenges with kindness towards yourself.

​

Developing a trusting relationship with your body can be an important part of healing. Rather than seeing the body as something separate from the mind, embodied therapy recognises that they work together.
