Presence Therapy

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.

How a session unfolds

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.

You do not need meditation experience or the ability to “switch off” for this work to be effective. The process is designed to support the nervous system naturally, without pressure or performance.

Private sessions are held in Carlby, Stamford.

Group Presence Sessions

Group sessions follow the same principles as one to one work, while also drawing on the regulating effect of shared presence and collective coherence.

Each session begins with gentle breathing and heart coherence practices to help the nervous system settle and move out of mental overactivity. From there, you are guided into a deeply relaxed meditative state where attention gradually shifts away from thinking and into direct experience.

As the session deepens, guidance becomes lighter and extended periods of held silence are introduced. During these quieter phases, the group rests together in a coherent and regulated field of presence, allowing the body and mind to soften naturally without pressure or effort. There is time at the end to grab a tea and integrate the session in silence in the beautiful gardens at Peace Heal Love.

Many people experience a sense of deep stillness, spaciousness and connection during group sessions, often finding that the shared environment allows them to settle more deeply than they expected.

There is no pressure to speak, share or perform in any way. The focus is simply on allowing the nervous system to slow down, restore itself and reconnect with a deeper sense of ease and inner stability.

Sessions are suitable for both beginners and those with an existing meditation or spiritual practice.

Group sessions are held at Peace Heal Love Wellbeing Centre.

What this work supports

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.

After the session

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.

Who this work is for

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.

A note on approach

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.

Practical details

Sessions are offered one to one and in groups, 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.
