Holistic therapy means the person in front of me is more important than any protocol.
In Weybridge I offer somatic EMDR that respects your history, your biology and the life you must keep living. We stabilise first: sensory orientation, supportive breath, and simple resourcing that fits your day. Your body learns that contact can be safe and that slowing down doesn’t mean losing control.
Somatic awareness is our compass. We listen for the places protection lives—jaw, chest, gut, shoulders—and include them kindly in the conversation. The aim is not to force release; it is to help your system recognise safety and choose a different pattern. When you feel ready, we bring in bilateral stimulation to process the stuck moments and the beliefs born in them. We go in small rounds, with frequent pauses and space to come back to the present.
Holistic also means practical. Insight is fragile without scaffolding, so we design tiny supports you can keep: wind‑down cues that signal the day is done, kinder self‑talk that actually lands, boundary sentences you can say, two minutes of movement that wake up your breath. These aren’t homework sheets; they are ways to protect the progress you notice.
People often describe more steadiness, warmer relationships and a clearer sense of what helps. Therapy stays collaborative from first email to last session. My intention is that you leave not only feeling better, but also knowing how to care for your system with confidence.
