Body psychotherapy is a psychological therapy that integrates body awareness with talking therapy.

It explores how emotions, stress and experiences are held in the body and nervous system.

Body psychotherapy recognises that emotions are experienced physically as well as mentally. Sessions may explore posture, breath, muscle tension, and bodily sensations alongside thoughts and feelings, helping clients develop self-awareness and regulation skills.

What happens in body psychotherapy?

Sessions typically involve conversation supported by attention to bodily sensations and responses. Depending on the practitioner’s approach, you might use grounding, breath awareness, gentle movement or somatic tracking. You remain in control at all times and can set boundaries around any exercises.

What can body psychotherapy help with?

  • Anxiety and stress-related symptoms
  • Trauma-related distress (with appropriate stabilisation)
  • Emotional regulation and overwhelm
  • Low self-esteem and embodied confidence

Suitability

Body psychotherapy can be helpful if you feel “stuck in your head” or notice strong physical symptoms of stress. For severe mental health symptoms, ensure you work with an appropriately qualified clinician.
