Body Psychotherapy

Body Psychotheraapy in Bideford, North Devon UK with Stephen R. King MBACP(accred) MSc

Psychotherapy for the mind, body and nervous system

I offer body psychotherapy from my clinic in central Bideford, supporting adults experiencing persistent pain, medically unexplained symptoms, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), anxiety and depression.

About Stephen R. King

After 5.5 years of training, I hold an MSc in Body Psychotherapy and Body Psychology and work at the intersection of psychotherapy, the body and persistent physical symptoms.

I am also a published researcher and author, with a specialist interest in functional symptoms, voice disorders, pain, bodily guarding, consent and the relationship between psychological experience and physical health.

My clinical approach is relational, body-aware and informed by contemporary understandings of the nervous system, trauma and biopsychosocial health. I work with the whole person rather than treating the body and mind as separate systems.

I have had extensive personal 1-2-1 therapy, have completed a treatment of psychoanalysis and maintain two clinical supervisors. I am an accredited member of the BACP and a registered member of the Body Psychotherapy Network.

Enquiries

If you are looking for body psychotherapy in Bideford or North Devon, you are welcome to make contact to discuss whether working together may be appropriate.

Body psychotherapy may be particularly helpful if:

  • You feel that talking or musculoskeletal therapies alone have not fully addressed your experience.
  • You have engaged in classical therapy / counselling and want to go deeper
  • You are experiencing bodily/sexual/functional issues that you want to change
Disclaimer:
New or worsening physical or neurological symptoms should always be medically assessed. Psychotherapy should complement, rather than replace, appropriate medical investigation and treatment.
