FAQs

No prior experience is needed; you will be guided through somatic processes and have them modelled for you.

We don't necessarily use SE straight away or in every session. We need to establish a safe and trusted alliance and slowly build your inner awareness. The initial sessions focus on getting to know you and your issues before going deeper. At the same time, if you have prior somatic experience, we can go there earlier. ​

SE regards the whole body as including the mind. It's not that we won't be talking whilst you're engaged in a somatic process. However, you're invited to describe, track and follow what you notice as we interact with your experience. The body tends to like sensate language (humming, jittery, buzzy), especially when we meet parts of your inner experience that are hard to put into everyday language. People also use metaphors, images, colours, temperatures, symbols, and made-up words to describe their experiences, which can make the process playful and creative.

No. I use other modalities as listed on the website. If you prefer a mostly reflective space, so talking through your issues, we can take that approach.

Sessions run for 60 mins. You bring in a topic or issue you want to talk about to gain further clarity, deeper insight, or to process. We then explore the main themes and patterns that emerge (using a somatic awareness of how they turn up in the body), or if preferred, we can stay in the reflection space.
