Seeing a Psychologist offers more than support , it provides understanding. A Psychologist is trained to explore how your mind works, drawing on decades of research in human development, behaviour, and neuroscience.

Unlike general counselling, psychology helps you uncover why you think, feel, and act the way you do , and how to create lasting change through evidence-based strategies that promote awareness, growth, and self-regulation.

Working with a Psychologist helps you to:

• Build trust and confidence in yourself.

• Become more mindful of your emotions, thoughts, and behavioural patterns.

• Give yourself time and space to nurture your mental wellbeing.

• Recognise what’s really happening in your mind and body.

• Develop agency, clarity, and self-trust in your choices and relationships.

• Reconnect with your inner wisdom and intuition.

  Why work with a Somatic Psychologist?

  Working with me offers more than traditional therapy , it is a mind-body approach that integrates psychological insight with somatic awareness to support lasting change. I combine evidence-based psychology, neuroscience, and developmental expertise with movement and massage to help you understand how your mind and body interact, releasing tension and patterns that may be holding you back.

Working with Energy: A Somatic Psychological Perspective

When we explore emotional and energetic healing, one of the most important questions to ask is:

What is my current state?
Our physical, hormonal, emotional, and nervous system conditions profoundly influence how we think, feel, and respond. A morning filled with forgotten shoes, dropped bananas, rushing clocks, fatigue, pain, illness, or menstruation naturally shifts our internal state. That shift colours the frequency from which our thoughts arise.

The mind does not separate these experiences. It takes the body’s current state, perhaps frustration, exhaustion, or tension, and begins to generate thoughts that match it. Irritation attracts irritated thinking; fatigue pulls in heavier, more self-critical narratives. This is where the phrase “like attracts like” becomes psychologically and somatically meaningful.

From a somatic psychology perspective, this is not a personal failing, t is nervous system patterning. And it is also changeable.

Transitions, Regulation, and Energetic Reset

This is why transitions between activities are such powerful moments for regulation and energetic reset. Moving from home to work, from chaos to calm, or from one role to another benefits enormously from a pause. Even two minutes can make a significant difference.

Parking slightly further away, walking slowly, breathing deeply, feeling your feet on the ground, these simple acts allow the nervous system to recalibrate. In energetic terms, this is often described as cleansing or resetting frequency; psychologically, it is down-regulation, grounding, and reorientation. The language differs, but the mechanism is the same: presence restores balance.

Choice, Perception, and Shifting Frequency

When you don’t know where a thought has come from, it is important to remember that you always have choice, choice in how you interpret it and how you respond. Sometimes this requires conscious self-talk or gentle internal coaching to lift low-frequency thinking into something lighter, more flexible, and compassionate.

When life temporarily limits us, through illness, injury, or loss, we may not be able to change the external situation. But we can shift our internal state. Choosing to rest creatively, watch a film, sketch, craft, or enjoy what is possible alters our energetic and emotional experience. The circumstances remain the same; the suffering does not have to.

Energetic Attunement and Emotional Cross-Talk

Not every thought or emotion that passes through your mind is truly yours. As relational beings, we naturally attune to the emotional and energetic states of others—particularly when we are sensitive, empathic, or emotionally open.

You may have known what someone was about to say before they spoke, or felt a sudden heaviness only to later learn a loved one was struggling. This phenomenon, often called energetic or emotional attunement, is the invisible language of empathy and resonance. Twins often demonstrate it vividly, but it exists in all of us to varying degrees.

When an emotion feels out of character or disproportionate, simply asking “Is this mine?” creates awareness. And awareness alone begins to shift energy.

Working with Stuck and Repetitive Energy

Some states feel harder to move, particularly negative loops where part of us knows the thinking is unhelpful, yet another part is strangely attached to it. In these moments, compassion is essential.

Somatic and energetic work invites curiosity rather than judgement:

• What am I getting from staying here?

• Is this keeping me safe, or holding me back?

• What do I choose instead?

Shifting entrenched energy requires practice, not force. Sometimes this involves redirecting attention, changing internal dialogue, or gently interrupting momentum before it builds. Strong sensory inputs, cold water, temperature change, sound, or movement, can disrupt loops by engaging the nervous system directly. Even naming the pattern aloud and choosing a different focus can be enough.

The aim is not to stop feeling, but to shift the energy so wellbeing can return, physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually.

This is the heart of somatic psychological energy work: not fixing what is wrong, but restoring flow, choice, and self-connection.

in Addition, I incorporate somatic movement and massage. By incorporating this physicality, we create a powerful opportunity for real transformation , releasing tension, restoring balance, and supporting your mind-body connection.

This is the essence of The Somatic Mind Psychologist approach: evidence-based psychology brought into the body, where healing and understanding can truly integrate.

Beautifully aligned and transformative.
