SOMATIC PSYCHOTHERAPY

When talk therapy isn't enough

For anxiety, trauma, depression, and stress that lives in your body – not just your head.

YOU'VE PROBABLY TRIED TALKING ABOUT IT

Maybe you’ve done years of counselling. You’ve told your story – again and again – to therapists with clipboards and nodding heads.

You understand why you are the way you are. You can explain your childhood, name your patterns, identify your triggers.

But you still feel the same.

That’s because insight alone doesn’t heal trauma. Retelling your story can actually keep you stuck in it – reinforcing the identity of “the person this happened to.”
What if healing didn’t require reliving it all?

A DIFFERENT KIND OF THERAPY

Most therapy asks you to go back into the pain, describe it in detail, and process it through language.

That works for some people. But for many, it just means re-traumatising yourself every session — and leaving feeling wrung out rather than better.

The approaches I use work differently:

Clinical Hypnotherapy We work directly with the subconscious mind — shifting the beliefs and programs running beneath the surface. You don’t need to narrate your trauma in detail. We can change the pattern without excavating the wound.

Resource Therapy (Parts Work) Instead of analysing your story, we have a conversation with the parts of you that are holding pain, fear, or protection. The emotional charge gets shifted and released — often without you needing to explain “what happened.”

Biodynamic Breathwork Your body already knows what it’s carrying. Through breath and movement, we let it release — without needing words. You feel it shift. No clipboard required.

Yoga Therapy Not a yoga class. One-on-one nervous system work — helping your body move out of survival mode and into regulation. We’re not asking “what happened to you?” We’re asking “where do you want to go?”

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

  • You're tired of retelling your story and not feeling better
  • You don't want to "identify" as your trauma anymore
  • You want to feel different, not just understand more
  • You want something practical, grounded, and body-based
  • Those who've tried talk therapy but still feel stuck

I WORK WITH PEOPLE EXPERIENCING:

  • Anxiety, panic attacks, or chronic stress
  • PTSD or complex trauma
  • Depression or emotional overwhelm
  • Sleep issues or nervous system dysregulation
  • Relationship patterns that keep repeating
  • A sense of being 'stuck' - even after years of therapy

WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION?

Every session is different – based on what you need that day.

We might work with breath to release tension. We might use hypnotherapy to shift a belief that’s been running your life. We might have a conversation with a younger part of you that’s still holding fear.

There’s no script. No worksheets. No homework.

Just real, grounded work that meets you where you are – and helps you actually feel different when you leave.

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT PARENTS HAVE TO SAY
"Thank you so much for the breathwork session today! I was quite nervous and anxious beforehand at what might come up for me. I felt so safe and comfortable throughout the entire session and went to some really deep places, it felt like I was travelling my inner world for 20 years. Coming out of the session I feel really content and grounded, my anxiety has completely shifted and I'm feeling so much love for myself and my journey! Thank you for creating such a beautiful safe space! You're gifted at what you do Kael!"
"The school teachers agree with the paediatrician that his medication needs to change. They also shared something that really stood out. They don't notice any difference in him after a trauma session with his psychologist/psychiatrist, but they can always tell when he's had a session with Kael. Since working with Kael, he's been able to verbalise his pain and express his feelings with his teachers. He comes back calmer, happier, and more open."

"Kael is now a regular scheduled activity within our school holiday program. Our program varies with children from 3–12 and Kael demonstrates patience and array of skills to accommodate all age groups. Kael not only shares his passion and skill for mixed martial arts but also how and why Kael discovered MMA and the impact it has had on his journey. Highly recommend including Coster MMA in your next program to not only provide an excellent sporting program but an opportunity to create excellent conversations around how trying a new sport can positively influence your life and wellbeing."

"I just went to a teens mindful and resilience session and loved it. I think it's great for kids with anxiety (like me), ADHD (like me) and maybe autism. It's great for kids who don't have the skills to defend themselves in a one on one scenario or maybe is being bullied. Kael and all of the other teachers have great experience with dealing with children. The photo below is me putting Kael in a 'headlock' and I think it was very good."

WHO YOU'LL BE WORKING WITH

I’m Kael – a somatic psychotherapist with a background most therapists don’t have.

I spent 10 years as a professional fighter. I’ve sat with my own trauma, burnout, and nervous system dysregulation. I know what it’s like to look successful on the outside and feel broken on the inside.

Now I integrate clinical training (hypnotherapy, breathwork, yoga therapy, Buddhist psychology) with real-world, grounded experience.

I’m not here to analyse you. I’m here to help you actually feel different.
