Professional Somatic Therapy Services Near You
Tally Shortland..
Hello, thank you for visiting my site. I have probably been where you are, many times over!
In today's fast-paced world, women often find themselves juggling multiple roles and unconsciously meeting the demands of patriarchal archetypes of how we must appear—attractive, youthful, slim, dignified, caregiver, professional, partner, and friend—to name a few - leading to emotional strain and mental exhaustion. As a result, many are seeking alternative therapeutic modalities that resonate with their experiences.
Somatic psychotherapy is a holistic approach that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. It recognizes the intricate connection between the body and mind, understanding that emotional experiences are often stored in the body. This therapeutic technique encourages individuals to become aware of their bodily sensations, emotions, and behaviors, leading to deeper self-awareness and healing.

​​Body AccessTherapy ™ is a somatic method influenced by Dr Gabor Maté, Dr Richard Schwartz and Marisa Peer. I firmly believe in the process of self enquiry which starts in the body. These somatic practices combined with my love of teaching yoga have resulted in women's circles and retreats across Europe and UK. It includes:
​
-
​Mind-Body Connection: Somatic psychotherapy emphasizes that our physical state can significantly influence our emotional well-being. By tuning into bodily sensations, women can uncover suppressed emotions and traumas.
-
Embodiment: This approach encourages women to inhabit their bodies fully. Through mindfulness techniques, clients learn to recognize and release tension, which can lead to emotional release and healing.
-
Trauma-Informed Care: Many women have experienced trauma, whether personal or systemic. Somatic psychotherapy is particularly effective in addressing trauma, helping women process and release it at a physical level.
-
Empowerment: Somatic therapy fosters self-efficacy, encouraging women to take charge of their healing journey. This empowerment can lead to improved self-esteem and a deeper connection to one's authentic self.
