Bio & Introduction to Somatic Counselling
About Sarah
Over twenty years in somatic and trauma therapy, bringing heart, mind, body and spirit into the work.
I’ve worked in somatic and trauma therapy for over twenty years. My own life has been shaped by the liminal space between living and dying, and that has made me unafraid of the hardest rooms.
I bring an interest in embodiment — mindful attention to the wisdom of the body — and an attunement to the energetic and emotional patterns we carry, as a way to reach the inner healing intelligence in each of us.
Connection is medicine.
I bring heart, mind, body, and spirit into the work, along with an interest in energy modalities, breathwork, nature-based wisdom and the emerging use of consciousness expanding experiences for trauma and end-of-life care.
I offer a genuine, caring and compassionate presence in this journey of facing and exploring one’s inner landscape. It can feel frightening to journey into the unknown that is at the heart of the therapeutic process.
It is my life’s work and deep privilege to walk alongside those on, what I believe to be, a deeply courageous and sacred path of self-inquiry, healing, growth, and transformation.

Embodiment as a process of decolonisation.
As a somatic therapist I am committed to centring the body as the prime locus of therapeutic attention. I understand an individual’s body as sovereign, and also as inseparable from the relational, community, collective, natural and ancestral networks it is embedded within. To centre the body and embodiment as the foundations of individual and collective wellbeing is to engage in acts of decolonisation and reclamation — of truth, of wisdom, of inner healing intelligence, and of sovereignty.
I do this work gratefully while living on the traditional and unceded territory of the Quw’utsun’ Peoples.
