What is Somatic Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space and relationship in which to explore problems
of living. These can arise as difficulties in work, in relationships, in parenting, in achieving one's
goals or in repetitive painful states such as depression, anxiety, confusion, negative feelings or low
self esteem.
Body-oriented psychotherapy can be used to facilitate exploration and expression, to develop self
awareness, self regulation and a sense of vitality and aliveness. This approach can help deepen a
sense of connection to oneself and to others. Somatic psychotherapy can improve body sensing, relieve
stress, balance the nervous system, mobilise posture, explore patterns of contraction and expansion
and develop a sense of vitality and aliveness and movement.
