Online Somatic Therapy

Our body, mind and emotions are intrinsically connected.

Somatic therapy online sessions incorporate cognitive, relational and somatic techniques to shift long-held patterns and renegotiate trauma without needing to tell the whole story over and over again.

Learn the wisdom of your nervous system and explore the sensations, imagery, and symbolism within your inner process to create a new paradigm for experiencing yourself, your relationships, and the world around you.

Is somatic therapy online right for me?

Working together online might be for you if:

  • You live in Canada, but too far away from Surrey, BC to come to my office!

  • You'd like to explore counselling from the comfort of your own home.

  • you've tried talk therapy or traditional counselling and haven't found a client-therapist relationship that feels right

  • you're experiencing serious discomfort from symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, or panic attacks

  • you're sick of psychoanalyzing yourself and want to experience a different paradigm of healing

  • you're curious about more intuitive and holistic approaches outside of the Western medical model of treatment.

  • you want to learn about your nervous system so you can understand your reactions and responses

  • you're interested trying new things, and are open to trying a creative (and sometimes playful!) approach

it's probably not for you if....

  • you're seeking counselling as the sole treatment for a psychiatric diagnosis such as bipolar II or schizophrenia.

  • you're in danger or experiencing suicidal ideation - here are two BC crisis lines that offer immediate, 24-hour access to services for anyone in the province of BC considering suicide, and those with mental health or substance use challenges.

    • 1800SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) is for individuals considering suicide, or for those who are concerned about someone who may be at risk of suicide.

    • 310Mental Health Support (310-6789) is a crisis line that provides emotional support, information and resources specific to mental health and substance use disorders.

Does online somatic therapy work?

Can somatic therapy be done online? Yes! Somatic therapy online sessions are similar to in-person sessions, and all the benefits of somatic therapy can be experienced from afar. In fact, some of the most powerful client sessions I've ever had have happened online. In your consult we will assess whether online sessions are right for you.

If you'd like to experience the power of somatic therapy from the comfort of your own space, all you need is a computer or iPad, a decent wifi connection, and a comfy, private place to meet. Brew your favourite cup of tea and meet me online!

What happens in Online Somatic Therapy Sessions?

Doing somatic therapy online offers a convenient and effective way to access healing from the comfort of your own home. Through video sessions, you can explore this mind-body-spirit approach to therapy without the need to travel, making it easier to fit into your schedule, wherever you are.

During online sessions, we will focus on the topics you bring to session, becoming more aware of your physical sensations and emotional experiences, and guiding you through exercises that help regulate your nervous system and release stored tension.

Even in a virtual setting, we can create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore and heal from trauma, stress, and other challenges.

With online somatic therapy, I prioritize additional layers of relationship building and creating safety. This accessible format allows for a personalized therapy experience that can bring peace and relief, helping you feel more centred and connected to your true self.

"Andree - honestly, that session was SO powerful for me. Processing and touching that grief freed up a lot of energy, and I felt so, well, energized for the rest of the day. It was really special and powerful. THANK YOU. I was, and am, so grateful for that."
