Body & Soul Therapy

Family Constellation & Somatic Experiencing

Family Constellation is an approach to healing trauma across generations founded by Bert Hellinger.  Hellinger discovered that there are certain invisible laws that family and social systems follow.  These laws exist to care for the belonging of everyone in the system and mean that later generations of a family or society often carry the unresolved trauma for previous generations, this act of unconscious carrying which keeps us stuck in the past we call ‘entanglement’ or ‘identification’. These laws which Hellinger called the orders of love are: Belonging, Order & Balance. You can read more about them here. Whatever issues you are experiencing in your life, work or relationships, you can find its roots in unconscious family dynamics. Through bringing conscious awareness to these dynamics and family ties, opening safe space for deeper feeling and healing movements of the soul to take place, we can begin experiencing more love, ease and flow in our lives.

Somatic Experiencing is a psycho-biological approach to healing trauma developed by Dr Peter Levine. He discovered that trauma is stored in the body's nervous system and that unresolved stress and fear can become trapped there, affecting our physical health and emotional well-being. This method emphasizes increased awareness of bodily sensations and the body's innate capacity to heal itself. These sensations and responses follow natural principles of the nervous system's regulation and resilience, which Levine refers to as the processes of stabilization, resourcing, and titration. You can learn more about these principles here. Whatever challenges you face in your life, work, or relationships, they often have their roots in unresolved trauma and the nervous system's automatic responses. By slowing down & cultivating mindful awareness of bodily sensations and safely guiding the nervous system through a process of healing and titrated release, we facilitate the processing and transformation of trauma, creating space for more vitality, resilience, and emotional freedom in our lives.

Working Together // Warm Welcome

‘I look forward to walking alongside you for some time’

Stand alone - Issue focused sessions

These sessions are stand alone sessions focused on presencing a specific issue. They support a catalytic shift in your awareness. More than one session is often not needed.

Series of sessions

Its possible to book a block of sessions, a specific number in advance, once we have completed your block of sessions I ask you to go back to your life for a month to integrate the work. If later you feel the impulse to return for any more sessions you are welcome. Space for integration and noticing the effect of the work in our lives is important. Alternatively you are welcome to book sessions as and when you need them for however long you wish. I feel that building relationships is an important part of the work we engage together. I am inviting you into entering a transformative relationship with me for however long it lasts. One session or many.

Availability

If you need a therapist on the same day and at the same time every week then we will not be a good fit. I travel a lot and so my availability changes from week to week. However I always do my best to be available to your need for sessions.

Not Talking Therapy

If you are looking for ‘talking therapy’, this is not the right work for you. I don’t spend an hour listening to you telling me about all your problems. In this work we focus on one issue and then drop deeper into the body and soul in service of remembering lost consciousness. This is really an experiential work I am offering. Its an invitation to meet your body & soul directly. In the work I offer I am not so interested in ‘stories’, I am more interested in what is happening in your body, nervous-system and your family system. I work more at the energy level in support of your healing. Sometimes we might discuss details from your life but the focus of this work is not ‘talking’, the focus is experiencing a deeper reality and working to intergrate that.
