Somatic (Body-Based) Counselling: Listening to what the body is telling us.
Sometimes we can understand something logically, yet our body still feels tense, anxious or overwhelmed. You might notice tight shoulders, a racing heart, difficulty relaxing, or a sense of being constantly “on edge”.
This is because our experiences are not only held in the mind, they are also held in the body.
Somatic, or body-based, counselling recognises the close connection between the mind, body and nervous system. By gently bringing awareness to the body’s signals, this approach can help people process stress and trauma in a deeper and more integrated way.
