Frequently Asked Questions

Somatic work brings attention to what is happening in your body, not just what you are thinking about.

What we often explore together is what sits underneath the experiences you have had—sensations, impulses, emotions, and patterns that haven’t fully moved through.

I tend to see that a large part of who we are lives in the body—yet many of us have been conditioned to live from the neck up. We learn to think, analyse, and make sense of our experiences, often moving away from what we are actually feeling.

At some point, this can start to show up as anxiety, disconnection, repeating patterns, or a sense that something isn’t quite shifting despite understanding it.

By including the body, change tends to land more deeply. Clients often notice shifts such as reduced anxiety, clearer boundaries, and a stronger sense of themselves in relationships.

People come to me for a range of experiences, including (C)PTSD, sexual violations, anxiety, relationship patterns, feeling stuck, emotional overwhelm, disconnection, or a sense that something isn’t quite working in their life.

Sometimes, there’s already insight into what’s going on—but something isn’t shifting.

Our work focuses on creating more capacity in your system so that you can respond differently, feel more grounded, and experience more aliveness and connection in your life.

Not at all.

Some clients have years of therapy behind them, and others are totally new to this kind of work. What matters most is a willingness to be curious about your experience and to engage with what’s present.

We go at a pace that works for you.

Sessions are relational, collaborative, intuitive, and responsive to what you bring.

We might talk, but we will also slow things down and notice what is happening in your body—sensations, emotions, impulses, or patterns that are emerging in real time.

Therapy can often become a microcosm of the world outside of the room. The ways you relate, respond, hold back, or move toward something can begin to show up here too. This gives us the opportunity to explore and work with these patterns as they are happening, rather than only talking about them afterwards.

There’s no fixed agenda. I follow the energy of what’s present and work with you to deepen awareness and create meaningful shifts from there.

I offer both.

In-person sessions take place in New York City, and I also work with clients virtually over Zoom. We can talk together about what feels like the best fit for you.

I work with clients on a weekly basis.

This consistency helps build momentum and allows the work to deepen over time. We can always review what feels supportive as we go, but I don’t typically offer biweekly sessions.

While everyone’s experience is different, people often begin to notice real, tangible shifts in how they move through their lives.

This can look like feeling less anxious or overwhelmed, being less triggered by things that once felt consuming, and having more access to a grounded, adult part of yourself that can respond rather than react.

Over time, patterns that once felt automatic can begin to loosen. You may find yourself relating differently—to yourself and to others—with more clarity, choice, and capacity.

Alongside this, you will begin to build a set of internal skills that you can draw on when needed—whether that’s noticing what is happening in your body, regulating yourself in moments of intensity, or making more conscious choices in situations that would have previously felt reactive or overwhelming.

For some, this means moving out of long-standing cycles connected to earlier experiences, including trauma. I have worked with people who have experienced sexual trauma and have gone on to build healthy, connected sexual relationships, and with those who feel shaped by complex trauma and begin to experience more stability, presence, and ease in their day-to-day lives.

This work is not about forcing change, but about creating the conditions where your system no longer has to stay organised around old survival patterns. From there, something new becomes possible.

Many clients also speak to a greater sense of aliveness, connection, and being more fully themselves—not just understanding their lives, but actually living them differently.

That’s completely welcome.

The consultation call is there for exactly this reason. You don’t need to be certain—just curious enough to explore whether this feels like a place you can work from.

Not at all.

I usually suggest starting with 3–5 sessions and then checking in together to see what is working and what might not be.

From there, if we both feel that continuing makes sense, longer-term work is often where the depth of change happens. It allows us the time and consistency needed to shift patterns in a way that truly lasts.

I hold this work collaboratively. People respond to different things, and part of the process is getting a sense of what supports you best. You’re always welcome to share what is landing and what isn’t, so we can shape the work in a way that feels aligned for you.

Yes, I offer somatic process groups alongside individual work.

Group work can be a powerful way to explore yourself in real time with others. 

Many people find that being witnessed by others, and realizing they are not alone in what they experience, creates a different kind of shift—one that often feels more alive, connected, and immediate.

Groups are typically small and body-oriented, with space for both individual process and shared experience.
