Trauma-Trained Somatic Therapist | Integrative Counsellor | Yoga Therapist
MORE THAN TALK THERAPY
Sometimes we understand why we feel the way we do, but our body hasn't caught up.
You may have spent years trying to think your way through anxiety, trauma, grief, burnout, relationship challenges or recurring patterns that keep showing up in your life. Yet despite insight and self-awareness, you still find yourself reacting in ways you wish you didn't.
Healing doesn't happen through the mind alone.
It happens when we include the body, the nervous system and the deeper patterns that shape how we experience ourselves and the world.
I am Lucinda van de Berkt, a trauma-trained somatic therapist, integrative counsellor and yoga therapist. My work combines counselling, somatic therapy, nervous system regulation and body-based practices to support lasting change.
Together we create a safe and compassionate space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself and begin to understand not only your story, but how that story may be held within your body and nervous system.
Whether you are experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, burnout, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties or simply a sense of disconnection from yourself, our work together is tailored to meet you where you are.
My approach supports greater regulation, resilience, self-awareness and connection, helping you move beyond coping and towards a deeper sense of wellbeing.
I believe healing happens when we feel safe enough to slow down, listen deeply and reconnect with the wisdom of the body.
