Body-Centred Psychotherapy

A mindful, body-based approach to uncovering and transforming unconscious patterns

What is Body-Centred Psychotherapy?

Body-centred psychotherapy sessions are based on the Hakomi method. Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy is a gentle yet powerful approach that works with the body to access unconscious beliefs, emotional imprints, and behavioural patterns that shape how we experience life. This work invites deep presence, where healing unfolds through awareness rather than effort.

Rather than analysing or fixing, we bring mindful attention to what is arising in the moment through sensation, movement, images, emotion, and felt meaning. The body becomes our entry point for inquiry, allowing space for what has been held — often for years — to be seen, felt, and integrated.

This is a collaborative process grounded in safety, curiosity, and respect for your pace. It is not about revisiting old stories, but about allowing unconscious beliefs that are no longer supportive to come into awareness, opening the way for greater freedom, authenticity, and ease.

Who is this for?

Body-Centred Psychotherapy can be supportive if you’re:

  • Feeling stuck in recurring emotional or relational patterns

  • Navigating anxiety, overwhelm, or nervous system dysregulation

  • Carrying unresolved trauma

  • Seeking a deeper connection with yourself and/or others

  • Longing to move through life with more presence, safety, and clarity

  • “ Renata is an absolutely incredible therapist. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough! She has the gift to make you feel so welcome, seen and heard the moment you meet her. She creates an incredibly safe space for you to drop in, go deep, and fully surrender to the process. I have had incredible insights and experienced a deep transformation during our sessions. “

  • “I'm so grateful for the guidance Renata has given me. For a long time I was looking for someone to help me move beyond the state of anxiety and shutdown that I was in. It wasn't until I worked with Renata guiding me, that I was able to tap into what was driving my nervous system dysregulation and constant reactiveness. I feel so much more grounded and peaceful since the somatic healing with Renata. I'd recommend her to anyone struggling with emotional overwhelm or who wants to grow and heal.”

  • “I felt so grateful for the TRE practice yesterday. I feel I take something new and fresh away into my sitting practice from it.

    Renata is a very good teacher, enriched I feel, by her commitment to her own personal work.“

  • “TRE was such a unique experience from which I am sure I will continue to benefit as I practice regularly. I certainly feel the best I have for quite a while and am so grateful for the way Renata led this simple but profound technique.”

  • “Renata is a gifted teacher and I like very much the way she tunes in to an individual's response and honour that, whilst giving back what might be a good offering for them as well.

    I can see that Renata has studied the dharma extensively and it is fab to be the recipient of this specialised knowledge. I love the space and authenticity in her teachings as well as inclusion of relevance to trauma and the unconscious as related to processing deep feelings. I also really enjoyed the class on The Inner Critic!

    It seems to me that she lives what she teaches. It is so wonderful to experience that. “
