Online somatic coaching for anxiety, stress and the effects of trauma
“I know exactly why I’m like this, so why am I still stuck?”

No pressure to book sessions. No need to share your whole story.
“If you’re having thoughts about reaching out definitely do!”
Does this sound familiar?
Saying yes when you mean no
And then feeling drained or resentful? We explore what happens in your thoughts and body when you put your own needs first, and practise setting boundaries with greater confidence.
Doubting yourself
Second-guessing yourself or struggling with low self-worth? Together, we work on rebuilding trust in your own body and judgement.
How can somatic healing help you?
Somatic healing helps you work with your body as well as your mind, so change doesn’t rely on willpower or insight alone. Through somatic coaching, nervous system regulation and Brainspotting, I help you understand your triggers, feel safer in your body and respond differently to stress, relationships and old patterns.

What working together looks like
Somatic coaching supports emotional healing by working with the body as well as the mind. Alongside talking, we pay attention to physical sensations and how your nervous system responds to stress, so you can notice patterns as they happen and find practical ways to feel differently.
One-to-one, by video call
Sessions are shaped around you: your pace, your history and what you want to change, rather than a set course everyone follows. You join from wherever you are in the world.
Your choice, your pace
The work is trauma-informed, built around safety, trust, choice and collaboration. You set the pace and decide how much you share, and I’ll talk you through each step.
Coaching, alongside other care
Somatic coaching isn’t a treatment for any medical or mental health condition, and it isn’t a substitute for therapy or medical care. It can sit alongside them. If you need a different kind of support, I’ll suggest it.
Meet Ruth
For a long time I was a people-pleaser who struggled with boundaries and low self-esteem. Counselling and medication helped for a while, but body-based work is what finally changed things for me. Now I share that work, alongside practical, future-focused coaching.
My approach draws on Brainspotting, somatic coaching, Internal Family Systems-informed parts work, positive psychology and hypnotherapy.

Trauma-informed workshopsBrainspotting, when it’s helpful
Brainspotting is a brain–body approach developed by Dr David Grand in 2003. It uses where you look to help you notice and work with difficult emotions, memories and body sensations. It can be offered by video call, and you don’t always need to describe past events in detail.
What is somatic coaching?
Somatic coaching is coaching that works with the body as well as the mind. Alongside talking, we pay attention to physical sensations, breath and how your nervous system responds to stress. The aim is to help you notice patterns as they happen and find practical ways to feel steadier in everyday life.
Is somatic coaching the same as somatic therapy?
Not quite. Somatic therapy is a broad term for body-based approaches, and Brainspotting is one of them. Somatic coaching uses some of the same body-based tools, but it is practical and future-focused rather than a treatment for mental health conditions. In my sessions I combine somatic coaching with Brainspotting when it’s helpful, and coaching can sit alongside therapy or medical care. If you need a different kind of support, I’ll suggest it.
Can Brainspotting be done online?
Yes. Brainspotting works well by video call. I trained online with Dr David Grand, who developed Brainspotting, and Dr Mark Grixti, so I know first-hand how effective it can be on screen. Sessions are one-to-one and you can join from wherever you are in the world. I also offer Brainspotting in person during Healing Days in Shropshire.
Do you work across time zones?
Yes. I’m based in the UK and work online with clients worldwide. Some evening and weekend appointments are available, which helps if you’re in a different time zone, such as the US, Canada, Australia or New Zealand. We’ll find a time that works for you on your free discovery call.
