Somatic Psychotherapy Nottingham
In person sessions
Our in person sessions are based in one of the rooms at The Riverside Natural Health Centre on Victoria Embankment in Nottingham, offering a lovely spacious room that just outside the city centre. There is a carpark available as well as been on local bus roots.
When coming to your in person sessions it is important that you are as comfortable as possible, so please do bring clothing you find relaxing and comforting. Equally if you are coming from work or planning to go somewhere after you would be welcome to bring clothes to change into and you would be welcome to change while here if needed. You are also more than welcome to bring other things that may help you to find help you relax and settle into the space, such as your own blanket etc. Equally while hot and cold drinks are provided, you would be welcome to bring your own cup if that was something that would help you to settle in more.
Other than yourself, and anything that you wanted to bring with, then there is nothing expected what you bring along. Once you are here you will have the chance to make yourself comfortable, move your seat, or use a cushion and sit on the floor. What ever is your comfort and feels right for you at that time is right.
The first session is generally quite light we aren't trying to dive to deep into anything here but establish what the journey is, allow you to get use to the place that the journey is happening, with the chance to maybe introduce one or two practices to have an idea of what some may be. Within the first session, while the session time is 60 minutes. There is extra time added on, meaning if you get a little lost. Have lots of questions to ask at the end about what happens next and working out when to book in for next time .
As the sessions go on there could be various different approaches we use to explore and express, these will generally be provided but occasionally it may be decided by us both that you might want to bring something like a sketch book etc, but these are always case by case session by session which will be planned in, equally if you ever forget to bring it then that is absolutely not an issue and we can do various other bits in the session instead.
