Ready to Heal Trauma, Abandonment, Shame or Inner Wounds?
Are you tired of feeling insecure, overwhelmed and stuck in old patterns you can’t seem to shift? Deep down, you know it’s more than just stress and overthinking. Old emotional wounds, childhood patterns and unprocessed traumas are still shaping how you think, feel and live your life.
You might have already tried counselling, talk therapy or CBT, and while they may have helped a bit, they didn’t get to the root of your issues. That’s because working with a somatic therapist isn’t just about talking or thinking your way through it – it’s about feeling your way through it, gently and safely, through your body.
You’re not broken, and you don’t need to be “fixed.” But you do need the right kind of support to help you go deeper – to feel what’s buried, heal what’s hurting, and rediscover the strength, clarity and wholeness that’s always been there inside you.
Working with a somatic therapist requires courage, curiosity and compassion. It’s not an easy path to walk, especially alone. Having someone to hold the space, meet you exactly where you are, guide you and support you can make all the difference, and that’s where I come in…
Hi, I’m Lee Bladon, and as a somatic therapist, I help people like you to gently release the emotional pain, shame and trauma that’s stored within your body, so you can finally feel safe, whole and at home in yourself.
You can’t think your way out of emotional pain – you have to “feel it to heal it” – gently, safely and with support. That’s the space I hold for you. I’ve walked this path myself – from chronic anxiety and emotional shutdown to inner peace, strength and fulfilment.
As a somatic therapist, I help you to feel into your body, because that’s where your old emotions are buried. I use a range of gentle yet effective therapeutic modalities to identify and heal the underlying root cause, once and for all.
This isn’t a quick fix – it’s deep therapeutic work that goes far beyond just managing your symptoms. It involves creating a safe, compassionate space for the parts of you that feel scared, hurt or neglected, then helping them to feel safe, seen, heard and healed.
Emotional Healing Starts Here
You’ve done your best to hold it all together, but underneath the coping lies the weight of shame, anxiety and old wounds that are longing to be seen, accepted and healed.
You don’t need to keep pushing it down. You don’t need to “fix” yourself. You simply need the right support to help you gently unpack, process, and heal what’s ready to be released.
Working with a somatic therapist involves creating space inside you for safety, healing, freedom and growth. Deep emotional healing can help you to rediscover your self-worth, resilience and inner strength to face life’s ups and downs with greater confidence, calrity and stability. It can help you to rediscover your true, authentic self and gradually return to your natural state of wholeness.

Nondual Presence enables me to sense things within your body and soul, so I can assist with the unpacking and healing of your emotional material.

Somatic Therapy Sessions
Each session is a sacred space for deep transformation. You don’t have to carry it alone anymore.
- 60-minute 1:1 sessions via Zoom.
- Private, confidential, heart-led and trauma-informed.
- Somatic / embodied inquiry to explore what your system is ready to reveal and release.
- Safe and supportive healing at your own pace.
Working with a somatic therapist requires “presence” (embodied awareness), but not physical presence, so we don’t need to be in the same room. The non-local nature of consciousness, energy, space and time, means deep transformations can occur wherever you are in the world.
No special preparation is required for a Zoom session, you simply need to sit in a comfortable chair with your computer, tablet or phone in front of you. Then click the Zoom link in your booking confirmation email to join the session at the scheduled time.

Testimonials
What is somatic psychotherapy?
Somatic psychotherapy involves feeling into and releasing what the body is holding onto. Unresolved emotions often show up as tension, stress, anxiety, depression, emotional sensitivity or chronic disease. By gently meeting these feelings, the body can complete what was once too overwhelming to process, allowing stuck energies and emotions to move through or dissolve. This restores a natural sense of safety, balance and presence, which opens the way for deeper wellbeing.
How is somatic therapy different to other therapies?
Most of the negative beliefs, deficient feelings and unhealthy behaviours you think you need to work on, aren’t the real problem at all. They are secondary problems – symptoms of a deeper core wound. Most coaches and therapists will focus to trying to solve these secondary issues, and while that may bring some temporary relief, it fails to identify or address the underlying core issue. Take burnout for instance… A coach or therapist may teach us some stress reduction techniques and help us to improve our work-life balance. We may experience some temporary relief from that, but the underlying drive to achieve and succeed will still be there pushing us on. A somatic therapist, like me, will take a different and deeper approach. When we feel into what lies beneath the subconscious drive to succeed, we’ll always find a deficient feeling linked to a core belief, such as “I’m not good enough” or “I’m worthless”. When we heal that underlying core deficiency, the relentless drive to succeed will soften to normal levels, and burnout ceases to be a problem (without ever working on that directly).
Can a somatic therapist help with trauma?
Yes. A somatic therapist works with trauma in a gentle, non-invasive way that respects your feelings, your pace, and your body’s natural capacity to heal. Rather than forcing you to relive painful memories, we initially focus on creating safety in your nervous system. Then we will gradually deepen into the feelings, at a pace that’s determined by your nervous system. This allows stuck survival energy and old emotions to gradually release. The trauma healing process helps you to gradually feel safer, more grounded and resilient.
Am I ready for deep emotional healing?
Do I need to relive my painful memories?
During inner work, the focus is always on your present-moment experience, and your emotional safety and capacity are paramount. However, the inquiry and healing process will eventually take you back to the origin of your core wounding because that’s the part of you that needs to be healed. But by the time we reach this point, you’ll have more than enough capacity to handle it. Think about it… If you experienced a distressing event when you were 6 years old, it’s your 6-year-old inner child who’s afraid of re-experiencing it, not your adult-self. So, gently accessing your core wound from your embodied adult-self is safe, tolerable and deeply healing.
Is it true that time heals?
No, not really. Time “heals” the mind because the mind forgets, but it doesn’t heal the heart. Unresolved emotional wounds remain until they are consciously felt, processed and released. True healing comes from embodied awareness and inner work, not just the passing of time.
How long does emotional healing take?
Decades of emotional pain, deficient feelings and supressing behaviours can’t be undone in a few sessions. Good progress can be made in a few months, but it can take a year or two. Generally, the more “stuff” you have to work through, the longer it will take, and the less safe you’ll feel about “going there”. In which case we’ll probably need to spend some time developing your emotional sensitivity (mind-body connection) and your emotional capacity (tolerance) before we go anywhere deep. You can do some of this prep work yourself by practicing the exercises in my free Guide on How to Prepare Your Nervous System for Healing and Awakening.

Life after enlightenment is completely different to, yet exactly the same as, life before enlightenment. The still, silent backgroud awareness becomes the foreground, and the objects of experience fade into the background.
Enneagram Type 4 (Enneatype 4)
Fours lack their true sense of “beingness”, so they try to emulate it by being seen as individual, original and authentic. Their disconnect from true “being” means that Fours often feel isolated, lonely and disconnected from others, and are highly sensitive to abandonment and neglect.
Conscious Living (accessing the power of now)
Conscious living is about waking up from the trance of our ego structures and enabling our Self to become the conscious director of our life. Our subconscious beliefs, reactive emotions and conditioned behaviours will continue to run our lives until we make them conscious.
