Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Body-Centered Psychotherapy) is a way to explore our present-moment experience through our wholeness - through our bodies, our senses, our emotions, our memories and our imaginations. 

Sensorimotor psychotherapy can be supportive to any individual regardless of age or background, and has been designed to address the complex effects of trauma and developmental and attachment injuries. These can show up in many ways, such as depression, anxiety, panic, chronic pain and fatigue, fibromyalgia, disordered eating, self-destructive behaviours, addiction and difficulties with attention, intrusive thoughts, intimacy and connection.

In Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, we believe that attention to the body plays a vital role in the healing process. Throughout our lifetimes, we learn many ways to protect ourselves from harm. These protective patterns can remain with us, in our bodies and minds, as well as in our habitual ways of reacting to our environments, relationships, and painful experiences. These protective patterns often exist outside of conscious awareness.

In the therapy space, we discover how these habitual ways of protecting ourselves have become barriers to enjoying life and connecting with others. We work to find new resources and process painful experiences; this can help alleviate stress, increase our comfort and pleasure in daily life, and help us engage in satisfying, connected relationships.
