Gentle somatic support for emotional clarity.
A safe place to land when emotions feel overwhelming, confusing, or hard to hold on your own.
You feel emotionally overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck but find it hard to put what you’re feeling into words.
Maybe you understand why your patterns exist, yet still feel caught in the same reactions or cycles.
You’ve tried talking things out, analysing yourself, or pushing through — but something still doesn’t feel right in your body.
You’re needing a space where you can slow down, feel what’s present, and not have to hold it all on your own.
~
This work isn’t about fixing you.
It offers a supportive space to slow down, listen to the body, and experience emotions with care — so clarity and ease can begin to emerge.
Does any of this resonate?

What To Expect In A Session
You don’t need to know what to say or have anything figured out before you arrive.
In our sessions, we move slowly and gently, guided by what feels most supportive for you in the moment. This may include conversation, noticing and tracking sensations in the body, pausing to breathe, or simply staying with what’s present, all at your own pace.
You won’t be pushed to relive anything traumatic or go anywhere you’re not ready for. Choice, consent, and resourcing are central to the way I work.
Some sessions may feel quiet and grounding. Others may bring up emotion, insight, or release. All of it is welcome.
This is a space to be met exactly where you are, with care, presence, and respect.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
That’s completely okay. You don’t need to arrive with a clear story, goal, or agenda. We can begin wherever you are — including with silence, sensation, or simply noticing what’s present in your body. The work doesn’t rely on having the “right words.”
-
No. This work is not about forcing you to revisit or re-experience anything. We move slowly and with choice, focusing on what feels safe and manageable in the present moment. You are always in control of what we explore.
-
This is something we actively work with, not around. Gently moving in and out of feeling. Resourcing and regulation are central to somatic therapy. If things feel like too much, we slow down, ground, and support your nervous system back into safety. Nothing needs to be pushed through.
-
That makes sense. Beginning therapy — especially body-based work — can feel vulnerable. We’ll move at your pace, and you’re welcome to name any hesitation or uncertainty you’re carrying. You don’t need to be brave or ready — just willing to arrive.
-
Yes. Sessions are held with care, presence, and full acceptance. Emotions are approached gently, with attention to safety and regulation, so they can be felt without overwhelming you.
-
Sessions are currently offered online, to increase flexibility and accessibility for this work. You’ll be guided to set yourself up in a way that feels supportive, comfortable and private.
-
Sessions may include gentle conversation, noticing sensations in the body, pauses for breath or grounding, or tracking emotional responses as they arise. Some sessions are quiet and settling; others may bring insight or emotion. There’s no “right” way for a session to unfold. We always begin with a brief check in, grounding meditation and end with a moment of pause to transition out of the session and back into the day.
-
Yes. While conversation is part of the work, somatic therapy also includes the body — paying attention to sensations, impulses, and nervous system responses. This can support change at a deeper level than insight alone, especially when patterns feel hard to shift despite understanding them.
-
There’s no fixed timeline. Some people start with a few sessions to get a feel for the work, while others choose to commit to a longer process. We can check in together and adjust as we go, based on what feels supportive for you.
-
Yes. You don’t need to be in acute distress to benefit from this work. Many people come because they feel stuck, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or tired of holding everything together on their own.
-
Somatic work is often quieter and slower than approaches focused on insight or problem-solving — and that’s intentional. Slowing down allows your nervous system to feel safe enough for real change to occur. While shifts may be subtle at first, many people notice changes in how they respond, relate to themselves, or feel in their body over time. We’ll regularly check in together to make sure the work feels supportive and meaningful for you.
Hi, I’m Chelsea
A trauma-informed somatic therapist offering a grounded, compassionate space to experience emotions with total acceptance.
My work is shaped by my own lived experience with deep emotional pain and a long-held devotion to emotional awareness — learning how to recognise, feel, and gently navigate what’s happening in the body. My practice is informed by embodied processing, somatic experiencing, parts work, polyvagal theory, and other body-based, trauma-informed approaches.
Through somatic support, I help create space between feeling and responding, so clarity, choice, and ease can begin to emerge.
