A coherence-based approach to nervous system regulation
Presence Therapy is a quiet, gentle way of working with the nervous system through stillness, coherence and sustained, regulated presence.
It tends to resonate with people who feel tired of effort, analysis and trying to fix themselves, and who sense that what they are looking for is not more strategy, but something deeper.
Many people arrive feeling mentally busy or emotionally overloaded, sometimes calm on the surface but holding tension underneath, or disconnected from themselves in a way they cannot quite explain.
This work offers a different kind of space. One where nothing needs to be solved, and where the system is allowed to settle in its own time, often revealing a depth of ease and clarity that has been there all along.
Each session begins with gentle verbal guidance that supports the body and mind to move into a deeply relaxed state. As the nervous system begins to settle out of its usual patterns of alertness or tension, a sense of safety and ease starts to develop naturally.
From there, attention is invited into the heart and body, allowing the system to come into a more coherent and regulated state. Rather than trying to direct or change anything, the process creates the conditions in which the body can begin to rebalance itself.
As the session deepens, the guidance gradually fades and gives way to extended periods of silence. During this time, the work continues through stillness, attuned presence and nervous system resonance. You may rest, drift or fall asleep, while the system continues to settle and reorganise at a deeper level.
Silence becomes an important part of the session, not as an absence, but as a space in which the nervous system can fully soften and begin to restore itself.
Presence Therapy supports the nervous system to come out of prolonged activation and into a more settled and stable state. People often experience a deep sense of calm, a quieting of mental noise and a feeling of coming back into themselves.
Over time, this can lead to a greater sense of emotional steadiness, recovery from chronic stress or burnout, clearer inner awareness and a natural shift in how you relate to yourself and your life.
There is often a sense that something begins to open or realign, not through effort, but through allowing the system enough space to settle and reset.
This work tends to deepen over a number of sessions, as the nervous system gradually becomes more familiar with this way of being and begins to hold it more consistently.
It is very common to feel deeply relaxed or tired after a session, as the nervous system releases long held tension and moves into a more restorative state.
Allowing time afterwards to rest or be in a quieter environment supports the body in integrating the work. Many people find that the effects continue to unfold over the hours or days that follow.
This work tends to resonate with people who are drawn to depth without intensity, who value stillness over stimulation and who feel ready to slow down rather than continue pushing forward.
It can be particularly supportive during periods of transition, integration or when something in your life is quietly shifting and you feel the need for a different kind of support.
If you are looking for highly structured, directive or problem solving approaches, another form of support may be more suitable.
My work is informed by hypnotherapy, nervous system regulation and coherence based practices, including heart centred awareness and subtle energy work.
Sessions are experienced primarily through presence and silence rather than conversation or technique.
The depth of this work comes from simplicity, safety and the space to allow what is already there to emerge more fully.
Sessions are offered one to one and are available both in person and online.
You may lie down or sit comfortably, and there is no expectation to talk during the session.
Questions are always welcome beforehand.
A single session is £130.
Many people choose to book a small number of sessions to allow the work to deepen and integrate more fully.
Three sessions are £360.
Six sessions are £660.
