Caroline King
Psychotherapist
My skills -
I recalibrate nervous systems for people with trauma.
Our bodies hold our stories, our experiences and our traumas.
Trauma has a habit of permanently living inside our movements, postures, tissues, fascia, muscles, organs, gut, cells, emotions and behaviours.
And when your body has been the source of distress and discomfort, it can be frightening and difficult to try and understand what your body is telling you.
Just as you may need to build up to do strength training or endurance exercises, you may also need to build up a tolerance for relaxing and being in more restful states.
As a qualified Psychotherapist I am trained and experienced in using body-brain practices (Polyvagal) to help you to learn how to reset your nervous system.
By learning how and why this is so important to healing, you’ll begin to tune into your physical sensations with ease, understand your own nervous system better and feel safe, connected and in control.
My interests -
Pottering in the garden, anything creative, being in nature and seaside walks, nutrition, and listening to music – anything from contemporary to opera!
My backstory -
I’m originally from Cape Town and I have loved working in the health and wellbeing industry for over 35 years.
During my career I have also worked as a Bodyworker, Fitness Professional, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Personal Performance Life Coach, and Wellbeing Trainer.
My professional background and continued interest in neurobiology has always led me to support both the physiological and psychological elements of therapy.
Overcoming my own personal traumas has inspired me to support others through their struggles.
