In this post, you’ll find an overview of Somatic Coaching and Somatic Therapy Courses, Classes, and Workshops in the Greater London Metropolitan, England.

Somatic Therapy — also called Mind-Body Therapy — is a very broad field of therapeutic work with numerous types of treatment modalities, which typically integrate talk therapy, hands-on somatic practices, counseling, and coaching competencies.

In our overview further below, we’ve focused at listing organizations and individual trainers that offer training courses, classes, and workshops suitable for both psychologists and non-psychologists (such as massage, bodywork, dance, and movement professionals), that is, we’ve skipped Somatic Psychology college and university education (Body-Oriented Psychology) that aims at forming psychologists (clinicians).

Somatic Therapy and Somatic Coaching can integrate various disciplines and realms, such as Sexology, Embodied Sex Coaching and Sex Education, Tantra, Taoism, Sexological Bodywork, Dance & Movement, Breathwork, Neurobiology, Energy Healing, Applied Kinesiology, Psychology, Attachment & Trauma work, Body De-Armoring, massage, Yoga, mindfulness, meditation, music, and imagery, just to give you some examples. Hence, you’ll find different approaches and techniques, and thus different types of somatic therapies.

The underlying concept of somatic therapies is that a person’s mind and body are intimately connected and reflect or influence each other’s function. Somatic therapies typically aim at cultivating the client’s body awareness as a means to understand how physiological processes relate to emotional/psychological experiences, and subsequently using this awareness so that clients can self-manage disturbing emotions and trauma triggers using a variety of techniques.

In addition, somatic therapists and practitioners often also guide and support clients in actual emotional and trauma release, in moments of Catharsis, and in the necessary aftercare and integration.

You’ll find that somatic therapies commonly focus on emotional and trauma healing, and a range of modalities specifically address sexual trauma, sexual dysfunctions and disorders, intimacy and relationship problems, LGBTQIA+ and gender identity issues, and sexual healing, but several modalities are rather aimed at treating other types of emotional discomforts or trauma, giving tools for stress relief and relaxation, or at promoting the participant’s mind-body connection for other (health) benefits.

In any case, below then our overview of Somatic Coaching and Therapy training courses and workshops in and around London (England, UK).
