Psychosomatic symptoms are physical manifestations of emotional or relational stress, such as chronic pain, fatigue, or gut issues. They represent the body’s adaptation to unprocessed stress that has not resolved through conventional medical or cognitive approaches.

While talk therapy is primarily analytical (working with the "why"), somatic consultation works directly with the "how"—specifically, how patterns are held in your nervous system in real time. We focus on shifting the physical "record" of a pattern rather than just reframing it intellectually. 👉 Beyond Talk Therapy: The Power of Somatic Consultation

Often, yes, but it depends on the pattern. A single session can be enough to identify what is actually driving a pattern and create a meaningful shift in how it is held in your body. That shift is often what allows behaviour to change in ways that haven’t been possible before. Some patterns resolve there. Others benefit from ongoing work.

The Strategic Deep Dive is a standalone session designed to create movement in one specific pattern. You do not need to commit to ongoing work to benefit from it. If the pattern requires deeper work, we can discuss a structured container. That decision is made after the session, not before.

This work is designed for individuals caught in persistent cycles of burnout, chronic tension, or relational patterns that haven’t shifted through traditional therapy. Many of my clients are high-responsibility professionals—founders, clinicians, and leaders—who look capable on the outside but stay braced or overwhelmed inside. It is for those ready to move beyond talking about their problems and into a direct somatic shift.

I use real-time somatic tracking to observe how your nervous system organises under pressure. My work integrates IFS-informed parts inquiry, attachment dynamics, and Somatic Experiencing® to address patterns where they are actually maintained: in the body.

The PSR Method™ is a structured framework for identifying and shifting the root patterns beneath persistent physical symptoms and high-functioning adaptation. It focuses on changing the internal conditions that require a symptom to exist rather than just managing the symptom itself.

Yes, I offer a 90-minute Strategic Deep Dive session to identify core patterns and clarify direction. Ongoing work is available in structured containers for those ready to stabilise deeper internal changes.

For ongoing work, sessions are structured within a defined container rather than on an open-ended schedule. Frequency and duration are agreed in advance to create consistency, pacing, and accountability.

I work with international clients via secure video. Note: I am currently relocating my practice from Berlin to Victoria, BC. Online sessions remain available globally. 🗓️ Explore my current online availability here.

No, a formal diagnosis is not required, as the focus is on how your system is currently organised rather than a clinical label. We work with the protective patterns and adaptations that prevent you from functioning with ease, regardless of history.

This approach helps resolve patterns like chronic pain, burnout, over-responsibility, relational withdrawal, and the inability to act on clear decisions. These are treated as systemic adaptations rather than isolated medical problems.

Yes, working online often increases clarity because the focus remains entirely on the internal tracking of patterns rather than physical touch. It provides a consistent, contained space that many clients find more conducive to deep somatic processing. 👉 Learn more about how online somatic consultation works in this article.

This is for therapists, coaches, and leaders who notice recurring patterns of burnout or boundary strain in their professional roles. It is for those who want to understand the somatic load of holding responsibility for others.

While I do not provide "Clinical Supervision" for licensing purposes, I offer Somatic Case Consultation. We focus on the relational and somatic dynamics between you and your clients—specifically where you feel "stuck," over-responsible, or "hooked" (countertransference).

A 90-minute Deep Dive focuses on one specific issue and clarifies the core pattern. The 3-month ongoing container works with patterns that repeat over time, allowing for deeper tracking and integration. Most people start with a single session to identify the core theme before committing to ongoing work.

Yes. Professional issues like undercharging, over-giving, or avoiding visibility are almost always nervous system adaptations. We work to shift these at the somatic level so that your professional structures become naturally sustainable.

I am a Somatic Consultant and trauma-informed practitioner. I am not a licensed psychotherapist or psychologist. My work is an unregulated, specialised discipline that draws from somatic, relational, and depth-based fields. It is a complement to, not a replacement for, clinical psychiatric care.

No, this is a non-clinical service and does not provide medical advice, psychiatric diagnosis, or crisis intervention. This work should be used as a complement to, not a replacement for, appropriate medical or clinical care.

Yes, I offer a non-pathologising approach for clients with ADHD, Autism, and sensory processing differences. The focus is on understanding how your unique system organises experience rather than attempting to "fix" or normalise it.

This work is not suitable for those in active crisis, those requiring emergency psychiatric support, or individuals seeking a passive, validation-only environment. It is an active, participatory process that requires a willingness to engage with internal patterns.
