“Some difficulties do not respond to talking about them. You may understand exactly why you feel anxious, and still feel your chest tighten. You may have described a painful memory many times, and still find your body braces when it comes up. This is because experience is stored not only in memory but in the nervous system.”
Treatment & Support
What Is Somatic Therapy
Somatic simply means relating to the body. Somatic therapy works with physical sensation — tension, breath, posture, restlessness, numbness — as a route into emotional material. Rather than analysing an experience, you learn to notice what happens in your body when it arises, and to let the nervous system complete responses that were interrupted at the time.
This is particularly useful where distress shows up physically: a knot in the stomach before difficult conversations, shallow breathing, jaw and shoulder tension, exhaustion without medical explanation, or a startle response that seems out of proportion.
The Approach
Sessions integrate several body-oriented methods drawn from Taanya's training: clinical hypnotherapy to reach subconscious patterns, EFT tapping to discharge emotional charge through the meridian points, IEMT for the emotional imprint of difficult memories, and breathwork and guided relaxation to regulate an activated nervous system.
The pace is set by you. Somatic work is done gently and within your window of tolerance — the aim is never to overwhelm the system you are trying to settle.
What Somatic Work Can Help With
Clients come for anxiety that persists despite insight, the physical residue of trauma, chronic stress and burnout, grief held in the body, panic responses, emotional numbness or disconnection, and long-standing tension that has no medical cause. It also supports people who have done considerable talk therapy and sense that something remains unresolved.

Questions & Answers
Everything you need to know before booking your first session.
How is somatic therapy different from regular counselling?+
Talk therapy works primarily through understanding and language. Somatic therapy works through physical sensation and the nervous system. Most people benefit from both, which is why sessions here combine counselling psychology with body-based methods rather than treating them as separate.
Do I have to talk about what happened?+
Not in detail, and not before you are ready. Somatic work can proceed through sensation without a full retelling, which is one reason it suits people who find recounting difficult experiences retraumatising.
Is there any physical touch involved?+
No. The work is guided verbally. Any movement, breathing or self-contact, such as the tapping used in EFT, is done by you at your own pace.
Can somatic therapy be done online?+
Yes. Breathwork, EFT tapping, hypnotherapy and guided body awareness all work over video. Taanya works online with clients across India, Dubai, Australia, the UK and Canada.
How long does it take?+
Recent stress often eases within a handful of sessions. Patterns held for years generally take longer. Progress in somatic work tends to show up as physical change first — sleeping better, breathing more easily, less bracing — often before it is fully articulated in words.
