Somatic Coaching?
What is involved in Somatic Coaching Sessions?
My coaching approach is trauma-informed. This means you are in charge of the pace of our sessions and the topics you want to explore. Coaching focuses on where you are now and where you want to go; it is not about fixing or changing your past.
Somatic coaching helps you recognise patterns that show up in your everyday life, explore where they may come from and understand how they are affecting you.
What makes somatic coaching different is that we bring your body into the conversation. Rather than relying only on your thoughts and words, we pay attention to what you notice physically and what your body may be communicating.
We can become disconnected from our bodies, often treating the mind and body as separate. Yet our experiences and emotions can show up physically in ways that aren't always easy to explain or understand through our thoughts alone.
How it works
Sessions are offered in blocks of six, giving you time between sessions to reflect on what comes up, try out any changes you want to make and notice what shifts in your everyday life.
Each session lasts one hour and follows a simple three-part structure:
1. What is happening for you?
We start with what feels relevant on the day — what is coming up for you and what you feel needs your attention.
2. What is your body telling you?
I guide you through somatic exercises to help you drop into your body, by helping you to notice the physical sensations and explore the different parts of you that may be activated when you are considering the area that you are exploring.
3. What do you want to do differently?
From what you discover, we identify small, practical steps that can help you move away from patterns that may be holding you back.
I have used this approach with clients exploring a range of issues, including relationships with people and food, anxiety, emotions, behaviours and recurring patterns.
Somatic coaching gives you time and space to process what is happening beneath the surface and consider what you want to change. The session is the beginning of the work; the real exploration continues in the days and weeks that follow, as you start to notice and experiment with new ways of being.
Sessions are available in blocks of 6 and are priced at £650. This price includes the 6 × 1 hour one to one sessions and support via Whatsapp between sessions. Clients will also be able to attend any of my retreats at a discounted rate.
