YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

Somatic Therapy can help you with:

Feeling Stuck

You feel stuck in the past and get easily overwhelmed  in the present.

Long-Term Pain

You endure physical or emotional pain andyou recgonise that there is a way to live your life beyond your challenges.

Letting Go

You want to let go, but don’t want to disturb the stability you now have. You need to experience solidity in order to allow change.

Longing for More

You long for your contentment and joy to be more accessible. You should be fine ~  but in the background, life feels inexplicably difficult.

Working Together …

As human beings we seek a life that has space for both contentment and joy whilst recognising the reality of our pain and struggles.

Somatic Therapy is available to anyone who wants to engage with their own journey of embodied healing.

During your Somatic Therapy sessions with Nicola, you will learn practical ways to develop and increase body awareness ( interoception and neuroception) and integrate positive, life-affirming changes.

Together, we can discover the pathway from anxiety, fatigue and overwhelm to resilience, stability and aliveness

WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

Humans are fundamental rhythmic beings who have the capacity to self-regulate, organise and heal themselves

What clients have said …

A nuanced process with profound impact ...

Working with Nicola and Somatic Experiencing has been a nuanced process with profound impact. Nicola’s presence, voice and holding allowed me quickly to visit some very uncomfortable places in myself that were ready for some love and attention. I’m noticing my trauma responses quicker and can distance myself to become the observer, enabling me to further reach in and heal them.

My nervous system is finally starting to unwind

I feel my nervous system is finally starting to unwind and I am getting better at going with any dysregulation that arises and creating the safety I need!  So really pleased!

Permissive, open, supportive ...

I experienced working with Nicky as permissive, open, supportive and gently instructive as she guided me to allow and to drop ever deeper into the (somatic) experience of my body.  Giving space and time to this inner territory allowed me to hear what my conditioned programming of flight and fight normally drowned out.

Real shift on all levels ...

After my car accident – I was feeling a lot of tension in my body – tension held at core but after the sessions with you,  I felt no pain. There has been a real shift on all levels.

I felt so supported by your presence ...

Thank you for being with me in such an expansive way and  for reminding me of my anchors and my resources. And I felt so supported by your presence too – like you held a space in which I could feel my strength.

Literally life changing for me ...

Our Somatic Experiencing sessions have literally been life changing for me. It was subtle and really powerful.

Having tools makes all the difference ...

I am doing really well. That isn’t to say – I don’t have my moments, I do – but having tools makes all the difference. I so appreciate your help and am incredibly grateful for our sessions.
