Anjali P.
Registered Psychotherapist, MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling, Registered Member MBACP- 408062
Trauma can continue to affect us long after an event has passed. It may show up through anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional overwhelm, numbness, relationship difficulties, self-criticism, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. My approach is trauma-sensitive and grounded in safety, pacing, and understanding trauma responses as adaptations rather than personal failings. Together, we can work towards greater emotional safety, self-understanding, and healing.

Headline: Healing Where the Story is Stored: A Somatic Path to Trauma Recovery
Beyond Just Talking About It
If you have lived through trauma, you know that the past doesn't just stay in the past. It shows up in your body as a tightened chest, a constant state of "high alert," or a heavy, persistent exhaustion. When traditional talk therapy isn't enough, it’s often because your nervous system is still stuck in a survival loop.
My Approach: Integrated Somatic Therapy
I provide a holistic, bottom-up approach to healing that honors the deep connection between your mind and body. We move beyond the "narrative" of your trauma to address the physical reality of how your body has stored those experiences. Through specialized, embodied practices, we will:
Address Physical Manifestations: Gently track and release the stored tension, chronic pain, or "freezing" responses that keep you stuck.
Facilitate Deeper Processing: By quieting the analytical mind and listening to the body’s "unspoken voice," we create space for emotional release that words alone cannot reach.
Rebuild Safety & Regulation: You will learn tangible tools to settle your nervous system, allowing you to move from a state of "reacting" to a state of resilient presence.

Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Trauma can affect how you feel in your body, how safe the world seems, how you relate to other people, and how you see yourself. You may experience flashbacks, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, numbness, hypervigilance, shame, or patterns that feel hard to control or explain. My approach is trauma-informed, gentle, and grounded in helping you feel safe enough to explore things at your own pace. I am interested not only in what happened to you, but in how those experiences have shaped your inner world, your relationships, and the patterns that may still be affecting your life now.

Preston is Lancashire's county town and a city shaped by its industrial past — once a major cotton manufacturing center — that has evolved into a hub for public services, healthcare, and the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), one of the UK's largest universities. UCLan's significant student population generates consistent mental health demand and clinical training pipelines, and the Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services. Preston's large South Asian and Eastern European communities — including one of the UK's largest Gujarati communities — drive sustained demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists. The city's working-class character and post-industrial economic challenges mean therapists frequently address depression, economic stress, and intergenerational family dynamics alongside student and professional concerns.
