Mental Health & Wellbeing Nottingham
Somatic psychotherapy, body-centred support and psychotherapeutic herbal medicine
Mental health support is not one-size-fits-all. Some people need space to talk. Some need help understanding how stress, trauma and emotion are held in the body. Others need support with the relationship between mood, sleep, digestion, energy and resilience.
At Riverside Natural Health Centre, our mental health and wellbeing services bring together body-centred psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic herbal medicine for people looking for thoughtful, personalised support.
Rather than asking you to book straight into the wrong service, we begin with a discovery call so we can understand what you are looking for and help direct you towards the most appropriate support.
Support may be helpful if you are experiencing
- Stress or emotional overwhelm
- Anxiety or low mood
- Difficulty relaxing
- Feeling disconnected from yourself
- Trauma-related patterns
- Tension held in the body
- Poor sleep or exhaustion
- Burnout or nervous system strain
- Digestive symptoms linked with stress
- Loss of confidence or direction
- Long-term emotional patterns
- A need for deeper personal support
Our approaches
Somatic Psychotherapy
With James / Somatic Heart
Somatic psychotherapy explores the relationship between mind, body, emotion and lived experience. It may be suitable for people who feel that stress, trauma, anxiety or emotional patterns are not only thoughts, but are also held physically in the body.
James works through his Somatic Heart approach, offering a body-centred form of therapeutic support that begins with careful enquiry and a discovery call.
Psychotherapeutic Herbal Medicine
With Martin
Psychotherapeutic herbal medicine brings together traditional herbal medicine, naturopathic thinking and reflective therapeutic conversation.
This approach may be suitable for people whose emotional wellbeing is closely connected with stress, digestion, sleep, fatigue, resilience or long-term patterns in the body.
Why start with a discovery call?
Mental health and wellbeing support depends heavily on fit. The right practitioner, approach and timing matter.
A discovery call gives you the chance to briefly discuss what you are looking for, ask initial questions and decide whether somatic psychotherapy or psychotherapeutic herbal medicine feels like the right direction.
This also helps us make sure the service is appropriate before you commit to a full appointment.
Book a discovery call
If you are unsure where to begin, a discovery call gives you space to discuss what you are looking for and whether somatic psychotherapy with James or psychotherapeutic herbal medicine with Martin may be the right fit.
This is the best first step before booking a full mental health or wellbeing appointment.
