Somatic Counselling in London
I am a somatic informed psychotherapist and therapeutic coach.
I became a therapist because earlier in my life therapy helped me through anxiety and an eating disorder. So I know what it feels like on the other side too! I believe deeply in the therapeutic process and I am living proof that healing and recovery can change your life for the better. Working with me, we will create a space where you can feel totally safe to open up all the issues affecting you, discuss them and explore them and hopefully help you find the clarity and direction for you to move forward in a positive way.

I will hold you through this journey through a combination of talking, sensing and working with the body using approaches such as counselling, mindfulness and somatic bodywork to help you towards wholeness.
If life feels like its falling apart and you feel lost, I can help you find your way back home reconnecting you to your mind, body and soul. Turning toward our suffering is not easy and you have already taking a very brave step by seeking help. I offer you a warm, open and peaceful space to gently explore the places in your life that feel disconnected and investigate the impact of this on your emotional, mental and physical health and wellbeing.

I'm a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural and Somatic Psychotherapist with 15+ years experience working in NHS and private practice.
Are you here because life feels overwhelming? Struggle with often not feeling good enough? Overthink and people-please which leaves you feeling alone, stressed and anxious? I specialise in supporting women who are wanting to learn to manage and overcome such difficulties. Specifically, I specialise in trauma therapy as I find that those of us who face these struggles, often have painful past experiences and past traumas that we carry with us. I’m here to help you gain new insights on how & why such experiences may be impacting your present; learn to recognise your triggers, develop coping skills and break free from limiting beliefs.

My diploma is in somatic counselling but I integrate it with psychodynamic and person-centered (rogersian) theories and techniques.
What happened to us, doesn't have to define us. The narrative of our issues can be transformed in something different. A healing story that can give you empowerment and freedom. Maybe you are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger. Maybe you are looking for happiness or you feel you are lost. Or maybe, you still don't know what's missing. Regardless, I understand it's important for you to know how to cope, where you want to go in your life and what really matters to you. Finding and/or redefine your personal story, that fits your own true self, may give you the answers you are looking for.

This is a queer friendly space and politically liberatory practice.

I have been working in psychotherapy since 2003. My background encompasses both private mental health sectors and NHS Mental Health Trusts, working both 1:1 and in groups, and includes working in a cutting-edge therapeutic community. I have seen a diverse range of clients from many differing backgrounds and cultures, and with a wide range of presenting problems. I continue to enjoy working with a wide variety of clients and presentations, from personal development goals to mental health spectrum based work. I also work as a clinical supervisor, and head up Beverley Blackman Associates (please see website for more details).

I am a Counselling Psychologist and I work in an integrative and holistic way, accounting for both the mind and the body, drawing on different therapeutic approaches in order to meet my client’s needs. However, I tend to use the psychodynamic perspective centrally in my practice, focusing on making key links between the past and the present; this also means that I take into special consideration attachment based wounds, the unconscious factors contributing to the development and maintenance of difficulties as well as the ways in which we relate to ourselves and to others.

This time can feel very fragile both individually and collectively which is hard on most of us. How do we navigate our way through the uncertainty and recognise that in this everchanging and fast paced world we can make our way towards our own sense of certainty? During these moments it can be helpful to have someone to walk alongside you. To listen and tune into what you need and want to say. To be heard by another so that ultimately you can hear yourself. Should you need this support I would be honoured to walk a while with you.

There are many reasons why we enter psychotherapy, such as at times of unhappiness, difficulty or crisis. We may be struggling in our relationships, experiencing low self-esteem or suffering from a loss of meaning. Relational and developmental trauma symptoms can undermine our ability to fulfil our potential and/or form secure connections with others. Because our wounding often takes place in relation to another it follows that so too can our healing. My intention is to offer a compassionate, attuned and empathic presence, which can support a shared enquiry into your authentic experience, within a safe and non-judgmental space.
