Clare Osbond

I am an experienced body psychotherapist with an embodied relational approach. My practice is in South Devon.

 

What is a body psychotherapist? You may have an intuitive sense that you would like to work with the body, as well as the mind. And you may be wondering what to expect from body psychotherapy. My approach is best described as body-centred psychotherapy - so I include the body - but the session doesn't necessarily look any different from any other psychotherapy or counselling session. We sit and talk,and I may offer some guidance on including the body - as well as the mind - in how you experience of yourself.

 

Sometimes early life experiences present challenges that can interrupt our sense of wholeness and connection with ourselves and the world. I am interested in the relationship between early experience, the body and how we live now. 

 

Here are some specific ways in which I work, but really these are more influences to my work. Principally I work with you - with what you bring and what is present in the moment.
