Somatic EMDR for Fear and Phobias in Weybridge
Fear can shrink life. Whether it shows up as panic on trains, dread before healthcare appointments or a specific phobia that limits where you go and what you do, your body has learned to protect you with speed and intensity. Our work is to thank that protection—and then untangle it at the roots.
We begin with grounding so your system feels steadier: contact with the floor, orienting to safety in the room and simple breath patterns that reduce spikes. Somatic awareness helps us notice the earliest signals of fear—heat in the chest, a drop in the stomach, narrowing vision—so we can intervene before escalation. When ready, we use bilateral stimulation to process key moments where fear “took hold,” updating the brain’s learning in a way that your body can trust.
Body‑based work supports gradual change: micro‑movements, resourcing, and small, consent‑led steps towards situations that matter to you. There is no forced exposure. Instead, we proceed slowly so confidence can grow from the inside out. Clients often report more choice, calmer travel and the ability to re‑enter places that once felt impossible.
Sessions are available online UK‑wide and in person in Weybridge. You set the pace; I hold the safety and the map.
