Somatic Therapy London | Nervous System Regulation | Dr Erin Caust
Somatic Therapy
A body-based approach to nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and reconnection.
I help you move out of stress, overwhelm, and disconnection, and into a place of greater calm, awareness, and resilience through body-based practices.
Through somatic therapy, many people experience:
• greater calm and emotional stability
• improved ability to regulate stress
• feeling more present and grounded
• reduced physical tension
• increased connection to the body
• improved resilience in daily life
What this work is
Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between the body and the nervous system.
Many of the patterns we experience — stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected — are not just mental, they are held in the body.
In this work, we use body awareness, breath, and gentle practices to help you understand how your nervous system is responding, and to support it in finding more balance and regulation.
This is a practical, grounded approach to feeling more stable, present, and connected.
What I Help With
CommonCommon reasons people come to somatic therapy include:
• Chronic stress or burnout
• Anxiety or feeling overwhelmed
• Difficulty regulating emotions
• Feeling disconnected from the body
• Tension held in the body
• Trauma held in the nervous system
• Difficulty slowing down or relaxing
• Feeling “stuck” or shut down
• Overthinking and difficulty being present
Who This is For
This work may be suitable for you if:
• You feel constantly “on edge” or overwhelmed
• You struggle to relax or switch off
• You feel disconnected from your body
• You notice patterns of stress that keep repeating
• You want tools to feel more grounded and regulated
• You are looking for a body-based approach, not just talking
You don’t need to have experienced trauma to benefit — this work is for anyone wanting to feel more calm, present, and connected.
My Approach
My approach integrates:
• somatic therapy and body awareness
• nervous system regulation techniques
• breathwork and grounding practices
• movement and sensory awareness
• elements of physiotherapy and body understanding
This allows us to work with both the physical body and the nervous system, helping you build awareness and tools that you can take into daily life.
Everything is done at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
What Sessions Look Like
Sessions are always adapted to your needs, but may include:
• guided conversation and exploration
• education about the body and sexual response
• somatic awareness practices
• Visualisation practices
• Nervous system regulation
• Tantra practices to generate more aliveness and arousal in the body
• breath and grounding techniques
• support with communication and boundaries
Sessions are practical, supportive, and collaborative — you won’t be left just talking in circles.
This work is:
✔ trauma-informed
✔ gentle and paced
✔ suitable for all levels of experience
✔ adaptable to your needs
There is no expectation to share anything you are not comfortable with — the work can be as verbal or body-focused as feels right for you.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to slow things down, this work can offer a different way of relating to your body and your experience.
We work gently, practically, and at a pace that feels right for you.
