Steph Hodgson BCST
Steph's work is grounded in her many years experience in A&E as an Emergency Nurse Practitioner, learning how to be with people in huge distress and illness. She first came across Pre and Perinatal work during her training in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, when this early material began to emerge both in her own process and for many of her clients. She went on to train further in Pre and Perinatal Therapy with Ray Castellino and with William Emerson, and this body of work has informed everything she does.
Steph has a deep embodied understanding of how our early experiences impact us, how we hold these imprints, and how to work with them. Having also trained in Core Process (Mindfulness-based) Psychotherapy, Steph specialises in working with early and developmental trauma in all the modalities she practices. She runs trauma trainings (TRE®) in the UK and Eastern Europe, and works as an Aquatic Therapist in warm water pools.
​
Steph is skilled in meeting both clients and students with presence and groundedness, helping them to trust in the wisdom of their bodies, and helping them to settle their nervous systems. Steph also offers supervison to therapists both 1-1 and in groups, particularly those working in rape crisis and domestic abuse centres. Her practice is inclusive and welcoming to all.
​
Steph lives in Devon, loving the contact with nature on Dartmoor and the ocean, she also loves dancing and recommends this to everyone as a wonderful way to work through whatever we are holding.
