Welcome to Respair Psychotherapy & Somatics
Welcome, my name's Terri & I'm a relational–integrative psychotherapist, yoga teacher and TRE practitioner.
I understand that life can feel overwhelming at times. We all encounter periods when our inner resources feel depleted and the ways we’ve learned to cope may no longer seem to work. You might feel stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of your direction.
Therapy & Somatics can offer a space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface — to deepen your understanding of your experiences, broaden your self awareness, understand how certain patterns may have developed and why they may no longer serve you, and importantly, help you develop new perspectives and strategies in order to feel more resourced and able to deal with life's challenges.
My therapeutic approach is relational-integrative with a holistic and somatic focus. This means grounding our work in a safe and trusting relationhsip and taking a 'whole person' approach. I integrate traditional psychotherapy with embodied approaches such as, somatics, therapeutic yoga, TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises), and breath-work. For many people, particularly those who have experienced trauma, working with the body alongside talking therapy can be profoundly supportive, especially where other approaches may not have brought lasting change.
I recognise that reaching out for support, particularly for the first time, can feel daunting. My intention is to offer a supportive, non-judgemental and containing space, in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, deepen your self-understanding, and begin to feel more resourced.
If you are considering therapy and/or somatics you are welcome to get in touch. Taking that first step can feel difficult — but it can also mark the beginning of meaningful and lasting change.
Therapeutic Services
Relational–integrative therapy offers a collaborative space to explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and embodied experiences. By combining talking therapy with an awareness of the nervous system and body, this approach supports deeper self-understanding, trauma processing and emotional regulation, and meaningful change.
Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) is a body-based approach designed to gently release deeply held patterns of stress and tension. By activating the body’s natural neurogenic tremor response in a safe and supported way, TRE can help regulate the nervous system, reduce overwhelm, and support recovery from stress and trauma.
Breathwork is a gentle yet powerful way of working directly with the nervous system. By consciously engaging the breath, we can release held tension, regulate overwhelm, and create space for healing — supporting the body and mind to feel safer, more balanced, and more connected.
Therapeutic yoga offers a slow, attuned, and trauma-sensitive way of reconnecting with your body. Through mindful movement, breath, and awareness, it can help restore a sense of safety, regulation, and inner stability — supporting healing from the inside out.
