Embodied Empowerment

 
Welcome to Embodied Empowerment, 
 

A safe, compassionate space for healing through person-centred, trauma-informed talking and somatic therapy.

​

At Embodied Empowerment, I offer integrative counselling that honours the connection between mind and body. My approach is rooted in person-centred therapy, enriched by trauma-informed principles, nervous system regulation and somatic practices. I provide a supportive environment where you can explore your experiences, reconnect with your body, and foster self-awareness and resilience.

​

My Approach

​

I specialise in working with individuals who have had complex relational experiences, including:

​

• Physical, emotional, or psychological abuse

• Neglect or abandonment

• Systemic oppression and marginalisation

• Complex identity issues, such as adoption
   

In our sessions, we focus on:

​

• Safety and Trust: Establishing a therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy and non-judgement.

• Embodied Awareness: Utilising somatic techniques to help you tune into bodily sensations and signals.

• Empowerment: Encouraging autonomy and choice in your healing journey.

• Integration: Bridging past experiences with present awareness to promote healing and growth.
   

I offer two distinct options for therapy to suit your preferences and needs:

​

1. Online Therapy is conducted via Zoom, allowing you to engage in counselling from the comfort and privacy of your own home. This option is ideal for those with busy schedules, limited mobility, or a preference for a familiar setting. It provides all the benefits of person-centred, trauma-informed therapy while offering flexibility and convenience.

​

2. Eco Therapy, on the other hand, takes place in serene, nature-filled settings at either The Ash Tree or Eco Therapy Farm CIC. Sessions in the hand-crafted yurt are infused with somatic work and offer a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. At Eco Therapy Farm, there’s also the option of walk-and-talk therapy, a dynamic and grounding approach that some clients find more comfortable than traditional face-to-face sessions. Our walks may include visits with the farm animals, creating an enriching and calming backdrop as we explore your thoughts and feelings together.
