What is Somatic Therapy and How Can It Help?

Somatic therapy focuses on the mind-body connection, helping you regulate your nervous system and heal from trauma stored in the body. When our nervous system is out of balance, it can lead to feelings of anxiety, stress, or even physical symptoms.

Based on Polyvagal Theory and using techniques from Somatic Experiencing®, I guide you in reconnecting with your body and understanding why you may feel the way you do. Together, we’ll build your ‘window of tolerance,’ helping you feel calmer, more in control, and ready to heal.

‘Somatic’ simply means focusing on the body – it’s a gentle, evidence-based approach that supports lasting transformation.

What my clients say...

"I would highly recommend Diana as a therapist.

As a woman in my 40s, going through so much change, Diana has helped me discover my inner self and empower me with tools to stay grounded, balanced - and to flourish.

Since I have worked with Diana, I have become unstuck in so many ways and felt a real shift.

For example, it has led me into a new loving, romantic relationship as well as opened me up with my family, resulting in many moments of joy.

I feel heightened awareness to recognise early signs of issues within me - and empathy towards issues that others are going through. That has helped deepen friendships and navigate the work environment.

I find Diana easy to open up to and really look forward to and enjoy our sessions each week - I feel compassion, supported and so energised - we often laugh too!"

M

"I've always resisted therapy, mostly out of fear of the unknown. However, when a family crisis occurred a few years ago, I realised I needed to seek professional help to deal with the fall out. And that's when my journey with Diana began. Since then she has helped me to navigate burn out, a career change, unhealthy patterns of behaviour, complex family dynamics and the ups and downs of romantic relationships.

The work we have done together has changed my life. I find myself more balanced and able to regulate myself. I feel more connected to my authentic self. I have a lot more awareness of my old wounds, allowing me to heal. I have more self-compassion and healthier boundaries. This level of growth and awareness would have been far more challenging to achieve were it not for Diana's ability to create an incredibly safe space for me to let down my walls and open up. What adds to Diana's uniqueness is her holistic approach which is grounded in extensive training and awareness of developments in the profession. Her approach has allowed me to experience a range of resources, thoroughly vetted by her, presenting me with more options on ways to move forward. It's been almost three years since I had my first session with Diana and I've never looked back."

SP

"I started virtual therapy sessions with Diana after I acknowledged that I needed support with my rising anxiety levels, which were starting to negatively impact my day-to-day life and personal relationships. I was starting to avoid certain situations or triggers that made me feel uncomfortable and at times I was struggling to appreciate 'the present' despite being broadly happy with the key aspects of my life.

Read More

Diana guided me on a journey which has not only helped me live more mindfully but has also taught me so much about myself: my personality, what has shaped who I am, and my needs. Thanks to our fortnightly sessions, I no longer suffer from the same levels of panic and anxiety as before and have far better self-awareness. I am happier in my own company as I now see these as opportunities to 'check-in,' rather than moments to worry and over-think. Diana is friendly, kind, and approachable, taking the fear away from opening up. She provides a judgement-free safe space to talk, and I have no hesitation recommending her to anyone."
