Somatic psychotherapy offers a way of working that brings together the mind, body and emotions. Rather than focusing only on thoughts and words, it gently invites awareness of what is happening within the body and explores how our experiences can be held, expressed and understood through physical sensations, emotions and movement.

Our bodies can often communicate things that are difficult to put into words. Through a safe, supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship, we can begin to notice these signals with curiosity and compassion, helping you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences.

Somatic psychotherapy can be helpful when you feel overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, stuck in familiar patterns, or find that talking alone doesn't quite reach what you are experiencing. Sessions may include gentle body awareness, grounding, breath, movement and other creative or embodied approaches, always working at a pace that feels safe and appropriate for you.

My approach is relational, compassionate and trauma-informed. I offer a space where there is no pressure to perform, explain or have all the answers. Together, we can make space for your whole experience — mind, body and emotions — and explore what you need to feel more connected, grounded and able to move forward.

Sessions can be online / in person.

Individual clinical supervision offers a dedicated, confidential space to pause, reflect and explore your professional practice in depth. It is an opportunity to bring clinical experiences, challenges, questions and reflections into a supportive space where you can think, explore and develop your practice.

This supervision is open to anyone working within the helping professions, including psychotherapists, counsellors, social workers, creative practitioners, healthcare professionals, teachers, and those working in other caring or support roles.

Creative and reflective approaches can be incorporated where helpful, offering different ways to explore clinical work, professional relationships, emotional responses and experiences that may be difficult to put into words.

I am a registered and experienced psychotherapist with training in clinical supervision, and I offer a warm, thoughtful and collaborative approach. My aim is to provide a safe and non-judgemental space where you can reflect honestly, develop your confidence and skills, and feel supported in the important work you do with others.

A supportive and reflective space for anyone working within the helping professions who would like to explore their clinical practice through creative approaches.

Whether you are a psychotherapist, counsellor, social worker, creative practitioner, healthcare professional, teacher, or work in another helping role, group supervision can offer an opportunity to pause, reflect, share experiences and gain fresh perspectives on your work.

Through creative and reflective methods, we can explore clinical challenges, relationships, professional experiences and the emotional impact of the work we do. The group provides a confidential, collaborative environment where practitioners can learn from one another, develop their practice and feel supported in their professional journey.

Movement can be a powerful way to connect with ourselves, with others and with the world around us. My movement classes and projects create inclusive, welcoming spaces where people of all ages, abilities, backgrounds and levels of experience can explore movement in ways that feel meaningful and accessible to them.

I believe movement is for every body. My work actively welcomes disabled and non-disabled people and recognises that there is no single “right” way to move. Movement can be adapted, explored and experienced in many different ways — through gesture, rhythm, breath, stillness, imagination, sensation and connection.

Using the body as a source of creativity, communication and expression, these classes and projects offer opportunities to explore, play, create and discover new ways of being together. Movement can support wellbeing, confidence and self-expression, while also creating opportunities for connection, belonging and community.

Each project is shaped around the people involved, with accessibility, choice and individual expression at its heart. Whether through structured classes, creative workshops or collaborative community projects, the aim is to create spaces where everyone can participate, contribute and feel that they belong.

Looking for something specific? I also develop tailored movement projects, workshops and classes for different groups, organisations and communities. If you have an idea, a particular group you’d like to work with, or simply want to explore what might be possible, please get in touch and we can create something together.

Somatic & Authentic Movement — Online Sessions

Being witnessed. Moving freely. Discovering what your body has to say.

This online session offers you the opportunity to explore movement in a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space, with me there to witness, listen and gently guide you.

Authentic Movement is an invitation to move without needing to perform, achieve or get anything “right”. Instead, we slow down and become curious about what your body naturally wants to do.

During our session, I will offer a simple framework for you to explore your own movement while I remain present as your witness. I will observe with curiosity and without judgement, paying attention to qualities such as rhythm, stillness, breath, repetition, space and changes in your movement.

Rather than telling you how you should move, my role is to support your exploration and respond to what I see and sense. I may offer gentle prompts, questions or invitations to help you notice something, explore a movement further, or perhaps simply stay with what is already happening.

There is no choreography to learn and no expectation to move in a particular way.

You might move a lot, or hardly at all. You might work with your whole body, focus on a particular area, or simply notice your breath and sensations. You remain in control throughout.

What might we explore?

Together, we might explore:

• How you experience your body and movement.

• What happens when you give yourself permission to move without judgement.

• Emotions, sensations or memories that arise through movement.

• Patterns of tension, holding or repetition.

• Your relationship with space, boundaries and choice.

• Moments of stillness, connection and presence.

• How movement can offer another way of expressing something that may be difficult to put into words.

Sometimes movement gives us access to experiences that words cannot quite reach.

This isn't about creating beautiful movement or being a dancer. It is about listening to yourself.

A space where you don't have to perform

Being witnessed can be a powerful experience.

To have someone genuinely present with you, watching without judgement or expectation, can create an opportunity to feel seen in a different way.

My role is not to interpret your movement or tell you what it means. Instead, I offer my presence, curiosity and guidance so that you can develop your own understanding of what your movement might be communicating or revealing to you.

We work at your pace, with your boundaries at the centre.

You don't need any previous dance or movement experience to take part. You simply need a willingness to be curious about yourself.

Come as you are. Move as you need to. Be witnessed without having to perform.

Somatic Consultancy for Arts & Movement Organisations

Bringing awareness of the body into creative practice

Our bodies are constantly responding to the environments we work, create and perform in.

In dance and the wider arts sector, we often ask people to use their bodies in demanding, expressive and vulnerable ways. Yet we don't always create enough space to notice what the body is communicating, what it needs, or how it is responding.

My consultancy work supports arts organisations, dance companies, creative practitioners and movement-based organisations to develop a deeper understanding of somatic awareness and the role it can play within creative practice.

Drawing on my experience as a dancer, creative artist, Psychotherapist and Somatic Movement Practitioner, I work with organisations to explore the relationship between body, mind, environment and creative process.

What does this mean in practice?

Together, we can explore questions such as:

• How do we notice and respond to what our bodies are communicating?

• What happens in the body when we feel safe, unsafe, supported or under pressure?

• How might stress, anxiety or previous experiences influence the way we move and engage?

• How can practitioners develop greater awareness of their own physical and emotional responses?

• How can we create environments that support regulation, connection and choice?

• How might somatic awareness influence rehearsal, teaching, facilitation and performance?

• How can we recognise when a body is communicating a need for space, support, boundaries or change?

• How can we build more compassionate and responsive ways of working with bodies?

Supporting people, not just performance

For me, somatic awareness isn't about asking people to move differently or become more physically aware simply for the sake of performance.

It is about developing the ability to notice, listen and respond.

A body can communicate before we have found the words. It can tell us when something feels right, when we need to pause, when we are becoming overwhelmed, or when we feel connected and engaged.

Creating space for this awareness can support healthier relationships with ourselves, with one another and with the environments in which we work.

My consultancy can be tailored to the needs of your organisation and may include staff development, practitioner consultation, reflective practice, workshops, facilitation, project development or ongoing consultancy.

I can work alongside artistic directors, choreographers, dancers, facilitators, educators and creative teams to consider how somatic principles can be meaningfully integrated into their existing practice.

Creating more responsive creative spaces

My aim is to help organisations develop cultures where the body is not simply something that performs, creates or produces, but something that is listened to, respected and understood.

By bringing somatic awareness into creative practice, we can begin to ask not only:

“What are we asking the body to do?”

but also:

“What is the body telling us?”

This can open up new possibilities for creativity, connection, wellbeing and more compassionate ways of working.
