What is SomaticTherapy?
It's a collaboration partnership between client and therapist, enhancing the therapeutic bond, to create a deeper understanding, leading to profound change.

What benefits does it give the therapist?
Aspects of an Somatic Therapy encounter have been described in many ways including - connecting with the whole person; deep acceptance of the client; feeling involved and focussed; feeling energised, excited and stimulated; deeply meaningful, profound. When client and therapist have connected at this deep level, they feel valued and supported.
What benefits does it give the client?
This therapy can be very rewarding for the client and the therapist as it moves people quickly forward in understanding their issues, except where abuse of any kind is the focus of the work, were pace and control has to be at the forefront of the client’s control. But even in these cases the trust between the client and the therapist builds quickly which enables the therapeutic bond to be more secure quicker and be more consistent.

Some reasons for working intuitively.
The building of the therapeutic bond has been proven to help the client to relax and feel more able to trust the therapist.
Being in the moment, a joining of the experience, is a deeply humbling and rewarding experience for all parties.
In joining with another we connect as human beings, in a collaborative partnership.
