Psychotherapy/Counselling & Somatic Therapy

In 2000, Anthony qualified as a psychotherapist from the Minster Centre, London. This specialisation has deepened his understanding of the mind-body link in the Alexander Technique.  He is a specialist in what Doctors refer to as “somatisation”.

Many people who present to an Alexander Teacher suffer from a range of muscular and postural disturbances. “Somatisation” refers to the the evidence that much of this distress is a direct result of psychological stress. Anthony is uniquely trained to support a person through the physical release and towards emotional healing.

As a psychotherapist, he offers individual sessions in integrative psychotherapy for those with emotional and relationship challenges.

Alongside this traditional psychotherapy, Anthony also offers a somatic form of psychotherapy. Anthony has worked with, and is inspired by the Formative Psychology approach of Stanley Keleman, based on a somatic-emotional model. Based upon a fusion of experiences and life trainings, he has devised his own form of Somatic Therapy.
