Body-oriented psychotherapy

You may understand a pattern very clearly and still feel it take over when something happens in real life. Your shoulders tighten, your breathing changes, or you go numb before you have words for what you feel. Body-oriented therapy makes room for that part of the experience.

Alongside conversation, your therapist may invite you to notice physical sensations, movement, breath, or the way emotions show up in the room. The aim is to understand how your body responds to stress and relationships, and to widen the range of ways you can respond. You remain in charge of what you try and how far you go.

This approach can be useful if talking alone has not helped you connect with what you feel. It can also sit alongside more reflective or practical therapy work.
