Ken Woods

Somatic Psychotherapy

Hi and welcome. You may be looking for someone to support and guide you on a journey of personal growth, transformation or healing. I hope you will find information here to decide if I could be a helpful person to you at this time.

 I have provided professional counselling and psychotherapy services for over 25 years, working with people in and recovering from life crises, as well as those looking to make changes away from stuck patterns, towards more meaning, fulfilment, freedom and vibrancy in their lives. I combine trainings in health, psychology and psychotherapy with ongoing self exploration and a meditation practice of 30 years, to offer you a holistic, warm and collaborative approach.

“There is the mud, and there is the lotus that grows out of the mud. We need the mud in order to make the lotus.” – Tich Nhat Hanh

You are looking for some support at this time? Let's connect and find out if I can be of value to you..

I ‘ve been fascinated with the mind body connection through ancient wisdoms and modern science, and bring this into my therapy practice through my training in the Hakomi method. I have a special interest and experience in working with the effects and recovery from all kinds of trauma, including early childhood wounding, attachment and relationship issues, search for meaning, addictions, spirituality and identity.

You may be experiencing anxiety and/or depression, feeling stuck and pressured, frustrated with recurrent relationship issues, wanting clarity or a sense of direction, or just a feeling that something needs to be explored and changed.

What to expect when you make contact?

I’d normally suggest we have a first meeting for a few minutes over the phone or on zoom. We will talk about your concerns and the kind of support you are looking for; discuss how we could work together and you may have some questions of me. We may decide that we are not the best match which is perfectly fine; or we may agree to set up a first session. This will be for one hour online and by the end of it, you will have a clearer idea of whether or not it will be helpful to continue the meetings.

Psychotherapy is a process whereby we can learn about ourselves and facilitate important change, transformation, and healing over time. I see my role as a guide to assist you on this journey of unfolding and inner-transformation.

Please contact me for an initial conversation about how we could work together to make the changes that you want.
