Body Psychotherapy in Bristol with Terry Davey
I offer gentle and empathic integrative Body Psychotherapy in Bristol on both a short-term and a long-term basis. Body Psychotherapy has much in common with other forms of psychotherapy, with a special emphasis on awareness of the physical in the experiencing, containment and expression of feeling. Body Psychotherapy opens the possibility of exploring feeling in the physical here and now, perhaps temporarily freed from some of the habitual traps and delusions that language can lead us into. The split between the body and the mind that is endemic in modern society is at the root of most of the mental and emotional-physical suffering that we experience. People may come to psychotherapy for a very wide range of reasons, frequently connected with some crisis in their outer and/or inner lives. They may be overwhelmed by feelings, perhaps of panic or anxiety, or experience a disturbing sense of detachment. They may have experienced a crisis in their lives that causes them to question the way they live. They may experience their lives as a constant struggle that they can no longer sustain. Or they may have come to feel that they need to change the way in which they handle relationships. It's difficult to overstate the breadth of human experience and the wide range of difficulties that may be encountered. It's also difficult to describe a typical session because sessions vary enormously and unpredictably in response to what a client brings and what is needed in the process of reaching towards healing and resolution. A client may be requested to notice the location of body sensations connected with their emotional experience, to breathe deeply into a feeling of emptiness or blockage, or just to sit and talk. These are just a few of many possibilities; the choice being always led by the needs of the client. I hold a Certificate in Body Psychotherapy from the Chiron Centre in London, a training body which is a member of the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapists). I am a member of the Chiron Association of Body Psycho-therapists (CABP - formerly the AChP) and abide by their standards and code of ethics. These documents are of course available for you to view on request. If you are interested in exploring Body Psychotherapy the first step is to book a free consultation in which we can discover if what I am offering will suit your needs and whether we are suited to working together.
