Sensorimotor Therapy

I am a certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist and SP Consultant in Training

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) is a method that draws upon the natural wisdom of he body (posture, movement, and the nervous system) to tap into the innate drive in all of us to heal, adapt and develop new capacities. By using bodily experience as a primary entry point in therapy, rather than the events of the “story,” we attend to how the body is processing information and its interface with emotions and cognition

How does SP work ?

The effects of trauma, neglect, and abusive or emotionally painful relationships with childhood caregivers are held in our nervous systems, posture, and movement habits as well as in unresolved painful emotions and limiting beliefs. To change these patterns, clients learn to mindfully follow the natural processes of body and mind.

New information that often remains unnoticed in conventional therapies is revealed by paying attention to both aspects- body and mind. This can accelerate healing and lead to more lasting change.

What Can I expect in a session ?

SP is a talking therapy, and treatment takes place either in a traditional counselling setting or in an outdoor therapy setting. I will help you become aware of the way that your body holds the problems that you have come to therapy to resolve. As the client, you are in control of what to explore.
