Somatic Counselling

ENGLISH COUNSELLING – SOMATIC BODY WORK – BIODYNAMIC MASSAGE – COACHING/CONSULTING

I offer SOMATIC-BASED SESSIONS that follow the body’s innate wisdom and focus on reconnecting people to their inner sense of well-being.

After completing a four-year training in BIODYNAMIC & INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY in Ireland, my approach is both HUMANISTIC & BODY-BASED.
This means that I work with each person in a way that meets their individual needs. Leading with EMPATHY and curiosity for each person’s unique journey, I offer a NON-JUDGMENTAL AND TRAUMA SENSITIVE space where anything that arises can be explored together.

My passion in this work lies in helping clients to re-establish a connection to themselves — to find their own inner resources and to reclaim their unique expression of life. I primarily support this process through awareness of the body — using it as a supportive ally to re-establish an INNATE SENSE OF GROUNDEDNESS AND WELL-BEING.

In my sessions, we listen not only to thoughts and emotions but also to what the body is communicating.
By becoming aware of subtle sensations, impulses, and rhythms, we give the body a voice. When we listen to this voice, we begin to access our natural wisdom and a deeper sense of inner coherence.

I am trained in PSYCHODYNAMIC THEORY, COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT), and in holding space for COMPLEX EMOTIONAL PROCESSES.
In my somatic work, I integrate body awareness and RELATIONAL SKILLS to help people find creative, embodied pathways toward greater balance, connection, and vitality.

I also offer BIODYNAMIC MASSAGE, which supports the body’s own innate rhythm and capacity for REGULATION THROUGH MINDFUL TOUCH.
A session may include a short conversation followed by hands-on work, always guided by the client’s consent and moment-to-moment awareness. Through this gentle approach, the body often rediscovers its own natural ease, rhythm, and sense of vitality.

Recognising that not everyone can afford weekly sessions, I also offer a number of low-cost places. Please reach out if this would be helpful for you.

WHAT IS SOMATIC OR BODY-BASED WORK?

Somatic work acknowledges the deep connection between mind and body.
For example, when we are under stress, our bodies often respond with tight muscles, shallow breathing, or headaches.
Through awareness of these bodily responses, we can begin to understand what our system is communicating. Somatic practice invites us to integrate mind and body — to listen, to reconnect, and to find our own way back to balance and vitality.
