APPROACH
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Listening Through the Body
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-inclusive approach to therapy online that helps you understand how experience lives in the nervous system not only in thoughts, but in sensation, breath, and movement. When insight isn’t enough, we begin within.
UNDERSTANDING
When the Body Still Feels on Alert
You may already understand your history, your patterns, your triggers. And still, your body reacts as if danger is nearby with a tight chest, shallow breath, urgency, collapse, spinning thoughts that won’t let go.
These aren’t failures. They are intelligent protective responses shaped by survival, relationship, and experience.
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (sometimes called sensorimotor therapy) helps you work with these responses gently without shaming them, overriding them, or forcing catharsis..
SUPPORT
What This Can Shift
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy online can be especially supportive for overwhelm, burnout, dissociation, chronic stress, attachment wounds, and trauma-related nervous system patterns without requiring you to relive painful events in order to heal.
IN SESSION
How We Work
Sessions are slow, collaborative, and consent-based. We follow what feels true, not what feels efficient.
We might gently pause and notice:
Sometimes we simply notice. Sometimes we experiment lightly with what the body is already hinting toward a small shift in posture, pressing your feet into the ground, allowing a movement to complete.
Nothing is forced. You are always in choice.
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is not a script. It is a way of listening.
ONLINE THERAPY
Body-Based Work in Virtual Sessions
Meaningful nervous system work can happen in online therapy for adults. In some ways, virtual sessions deepen the work because you’re in your own space. Your nervous system doesn’t have to manage travel, waiting rooms, or unfamiliar environments.
We adapt the work to your real life:
This is virtual counselling in BC and across Canada that respects the body’s pace and builds stability gradually.
CLINICAL SUPERVISION
Supervision that honours your voice, your work, and your becoming.
More than a licensing requirement, supervision here is spacious, somatically grounded care. In one-to-one video sessions we unpack casework, ethics, presence, and self-trust while staying rooted in social location and justice-informed practice.

MENTORSHIP
For therapists shaping practices aligned with justice, creativity, & care.
Mentorship offers slow, purposeful support for therapists, community workers, and change-makers seeking sustainability and a rooted sense of self. Sessions are peer-to-peer explorations of vision, voice, and impact—sometimes expanding into collaborative projects, teaching, or writing.

IN CONTEXT
Part of Our Broader Practice
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is one of the ways we work — not a stand-alone technique.
It’s woven into our relational and experiential approach to online therapy for adults, alongside other practices that support meaning-making, attachment repair, and self-understanding.
We follow your lead. We draw on sensorimotor therapy when it helps, and set it aside when something else fits better.
