Somatic Therapy & Coaching · London
You feel what's true in your body, in your emotions.And still can't quite trust yourself to act on it.
For women who have done the work and are ready to live it.
There is a lot of talking with my previous therapist. Working with Charlene is like breathing in a new way of being — I register it in my body.
I lived with a low-grade panic all the time. After one session with Charlene, I woke up and simply wasn't anxious. I thought — wow, this is possible.
Charlene's presence feels like being bathed in unconditional love, as I am encouraged and permissioned to be who I truly am.
Sound familiar?
You're self-aware.That's not what's missing.
You've done the work. Read the books. Maybe been in therapy for years. Your understanding of yourself is real — and still, certain patterns keep showing up.
These aren't thinking problems. They're body problems.
- ◇You freeze, collapse, or over-explain when conflict arises
- ◇You know how to tend to other people but lose track of what you want
- ◇You feel the right move somewhere underneath — but can't fully hear or trust it
- ◇Low-grade anxiety lives underneath the surface, no matter what you accomplish
- ◇You're performing — at work, in relationships, sometimes even to yourself
- ◇You know what needs to change, but something keeps you from moving on it
The emotions you suppress don't disappear. They live in the body as tension, reactivity, and patterns.
The approach
Your body already knows.
The feelings you don't let yourself have accumulate into the patterns you can't outthink.
In our work, I help you learn to read those signals and act from them — not just as insight, but as a practical skill.
I work with what's alive in you right now: the tension, the energy, the thing you're not quite saying.
Together, we create enough safety and honesty for the deeper patterns underneath to become visible and workable.
Most women feel a significant shift in the first session.
I came in feeling intense aversion — overwhelmed, wanting to get out. Through the session I realised: I can stay in connection and be overwhelmed. I felt softer. More in my body. Less afraid of myself.
What people say
Charlene creates a remarkably loving, grounded and fiercely-held space that enables me to effortlessly come home to parts of myself lost and forgotten. Fear, stuckness, confusion, and anger can turn into lightness, love, knowing, and clarity.
Charlene is a somatic therapist who will actually get you into your body — into your feelings, your fear, the places you normally avoid. She helped me access some very deep fears, and she didn't leave me there. What was extraordinary was not just going into those depths, but having her stay with me through them — helping me rebalance, come back to safety, and feel anchored instead of alone.
I always thought something needed to be solved before I could relax. Through this work, I started realising there was actually a person there having an experience — not just a problem to fix.
At one point I said, 'I feel like we're doing huge surgery right now.' I didn't realise how deeply my fear of the unknown was wired into my body until I felt the fear I'd carried my whole life fall away. By the end, I felt expansive, held, and able to trust the unknown in a way I never had before.
How it works
Simple by design.
Start with a conversation
A 60–90 minute call to explore what you're navigating and whether we're a fit. No performance. No pressure.
Meet what's present
Sessions follow what's actually alive in you — not an agenda. I work directly with your body, energy, and what you're not quite saying.
Feel the shift
Most clients leave feeling clearer, more grounded, and more themselves — often from the very first session.
Build over time
We begin with a three-month container of weekly sessions. Enough consistency for the work to land. Most women choose to continue for six months or more.
About Charlene
A somatic therapist for women who are done outsmarting themselves.
My work combines somatic therapy, trauma-informed practice and feminine embodiment to help you understand what's happening in you — and stay connected to yourself while it moves.
This approach draws from years of study across somatic and trauma work, attachment, contemplative practice, and the wisdom traditions that shaped my own healing — across lineages that don't often meet in the same room.
What I bring isn't one modality. It's a lived synthesis shaped by what actually works.
Supporting women in becoming more free, connected and fully themselves is the deepest work I know how to do.
