Curious about somatic therapy, or wondering whether working together might be helpful?

Here are a couple of ways that we can connect, if you’d like to explore further :

Online : Let’s Talk

If you're curious about working together one-to-one, you're very welcome to arrange a free introductory call with me.

This is an opportunity for us to meet, talk a little about what brings you here, and explore whether working together might feel like a good fit. There's no pressure to make any decisions during the call.

You can find more information about how I work on my 1:1 Session Series page, where you'll also find an 'Apply Now' button leading to a short enquiry form. You're welcome to fill this out, or simply go ahead and book a call, whichever you prefer.

An introductory call is generally where we begin before arranging our first session, but you're also very welcome to email me with any questions at charlotte@charlotte-preston.com.

Free Monthly Online Group : Somatic Gathering

Somatic Gathering is a free monthly online get-together where we explore somatic practices and make space to connect with ourselves and others. Along the way, we learn a little about how our nervous systems work and how somatic therapy can support trauma recovery.

We usually start with a check-in and some conversation, followed by a little teaching and a 20–30 minute somatic practice.

There's no pressure to share, have your camera on, or participate in any particular way. You're welcome to join in as much or as little as you like, and no previous experience is needed.

The gathering is free, lasts around 90 minutes, and takes place online once a month. I'd love for you to join us!

  • "Charlotte’s work in all its forms has been transforming to my physical and emotional well-being over the past 6 months. After suffering 30+ years with debilitating migraine and muscle spasms working with Charlotte with the practice of Somatic Healing has been a game changer. "

    —Jayne Taylor

  • "What sets Charlotte apart is her exceptional therapeutic abilities. Conversations with her are like confiding in your dearest friend, creating a safe and understanding atmosphere. If you're seeking guidance and tools to navigate challenging circumstances, you've found the perfect haven in her care."

    —Sarah Watton

  • "I chose to work with Charlotte specifically because of her training in Somatic Experiencing. Having a history of Chronic Fatigue I knew that I wanted to work with someone who was trauma trained with the right nervous system toolbox. Charlotte did not disappoint! After 1 session with her my whole body felt renewed and recharged. She is a highly-skilled bodyworker with whom I feel incredibly safe, seen and supported. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who is willing to put their trust in her very capable hands."

    —Anna Marsh

  • "Charlotte has a wealth of knowledge in somatic healing, which is holistic approach to healing that recognises the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. Her gentle touch and intuitive approach helped me to relax and release tension that I didn't even realise I was holding. She created a safe, calming space that was restorative and healing. "

Meet Charlotte Preston

Charlotte is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, trained in the trauma healing approach developed by Dr Peter Levine. She works with people recovering from stress, trauma and nervous system dysregulation.

Her work weaves together Somatic Experiencing, somatic movement, qigong, yoga and therapeutic touch, all in a way that is trauma-informed, and respectful of each person’s own pace.

Charlotte loves creating spaces where people can land back into feeling more fully themselves again. No need to perform, get it right, or arrive as the “best version” of yourself. You can come exactly as you are. The work is always an exploration and an experiment, and the way each person approaches things differently adds to the magic of the group.

She grew up on the Dorset coast, then spent twenty years living and working in London before moving back five years ago. Returning here gave her an even deeper appreciation for the beauty of the land, the sea, and the powerful way nature can support healing, steadiness and perspective.

Alongside her private practice, Charlotte also loves bringing people together in groups. There is something special for her about creating spaces where people can slow down, move, breathe, laugh, connect, and remember they are not doing life alone.

Through her work, she supports people to reconnect with their bodies, build resilience, and gradually rediscover a sense of steadiness, vitality and connection in their lives.

Trauma & Complex Trauma Specialist
