My name is Lizzie Bryher

I am a somatic trauma informed practitioner. I have a holistic approach to working with body, mind, and soul. My practice of over 20 years, alongside deep personal exploration, has taught me that the body is a place of profound transformation, and that the mind often offers fragments of clues to what may be holding a person back.

With precise attunement, tracking bodily responses, language, and subtle cues in the room, including my own embodied responses, the work becomes focused and specific. This allows us to locate what is actually holding the issue in place and to work beneath the surface rather than staying with the presenting problem alone, which is often an intelligent response to something deeper.

This can lead to the release of stuck energy held in the body and the beliefs that accompany it, so that symptoms and long-standing patterns begin to resolve rather than repeat, allowing meaningful change where there has been repeated difficulty.

Bringing connection where there was none

My work is rooted in creating an environment where past pain and hurt can be met safely and allowed to move. I am interested in what happens when there is enough attunement, presence, and care for what has been held to come into contact and be witnessed.

I work with the complexities and nuances within you. including pain, fear, anger, shame, and grief. not to force change, but to create the conditions in which change can naturally occur. My intention is to support what needs to be heard, felt, and integrated, so that agency and aliveness can return where they have been constrained.

‘Precision is love’ Thomas Hübl

Sessions with me involve careful, collaborative attention to what is actually happening beneath the surface. We work together as curious detectives, noticing what stands out in the body, in language, and in the relational field between us.

This allows us to move beyond the presenting problem, which is often an intelligent adaptation,  and to engage with the underlying patterns that are creating distress.

partners on the path

This work is not about me fixing you or leading the way. Your body carries its own intelligence and capacity for change. My role is to listen closely — with my whole self — and to use my own embodied awareness as an instrument to help track what is asking for attention.

“I understood what my body was doing and why – and I was ok with it !!! Our trip wasn’t cancelled, I didn’t hide in my bed and it was incredibly liberating. This recent trip for me has been the easiest and calmest I ever experienced. Both my husband and I were shocked just how composed and relaxed I was during our journey”.    Debs. USA

 

“Time with Lizzie is one of life’s rare opportunities to be lovingly guided to rediscover the inner essence of your true self – to reclaim a spirit and freedom that is this life. Thank you for sharing your gift with me Lizzie – simply life changing.”

What I use

Emotional Freedom Techniques, Havening and Eye movement therapy

I draw from Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Havening, and Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT), integrating them within a relational, body-based approach. These methods support nervous system regulation and help bring awareness to patterns held in the body.
Rather than applying techniques in a formulaic way, I use them responsively — guided by what is present in the moment and by the person’s capacity and needs..

Body based 

My sessions combine E.F.T (emotional freedom techniques) otherwise referred to as tapping, Havening and I.E.M.T.
EFT and Havening are somatic (which means body) based therapies. I.E.M.T is a technique similar to EMDR in that it uses eye movements All are implemented to release or reveal what is needed.

“I cannot recommend Lizzie enough. even after our first session, such an enormous weight of bad feeling evaporated that I felt in the weeks afterwards like a changed person.”
