Body psychotherapy and massage
Face-to-face somatic therapy for adults in Lichfield and Birmingham.
Hi, I’m Melita
I offer body psychotherapy and massage (somatic therapies) in Lichfield and Birmingham.
I am passionate about supporting people in their therapeutic journey. Every day, I am amazed and humbled by the richness of life flowing through each person I work with. It is a privilege to witness my clients, their courage, and transformation.
I believe the body carries an incredible intelligence within it. My work is about listening, slowly, respectfully, and with care. What is your body saying? Let’s explore!
What problems does body psychotherapy address?
Life can be challenging. Stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, relationship difficulties, loss, trauma, and major life changes can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or no longer able to enjoy life in the way you once did.
Body psychotherapy can be helpful when you are experiencing low mood, worry, burnout, self-doubt, or a sense that something isn’t quite right. These difficulties often show up not only in your thoughts and emotions, but also in your body as tension, restlessness, poor sleep, fatigue, aches and pains, or feeling constantly on edge.
In body or somatic psychotherapy, we work with both mind and body because they are deeply connected. As physical tension begins to soften, you may feel calmer, freer, and more at ease. As mental and emotional stress reduces, your body can shift out of a stressed state into relaxation and calm.
Together we explore old patterns, process unfinished experiences, and find new ways of responding to life’s challenges. Body psychotherapy aims to support nervous system regulation, helping you develop greater resilience, deeper connections, and more space for joy, pleasure, and meaning in your life.
Body psychotherapy often helps to:
- explore and understand yourself better
- process your past and present experiences
- feel fully seen, heard and understood
- develop a deeper connection with your body and emotions
- build a real sense of safety and trust from within
- develop more capacity and resilience to respond to stress
- feel more grounded in daily life
- create lasting embodied change
- feel more vitality and joy in life
Work with me
There are two ways we can work together.
Body Psychotherapy
If you would like to explore emotional difficulties, relationship patterns, or recurring challenges in your life, psychotherapy may be the right place to start. Together, we can work with both your thoughts and feelings, as well as what is happening in your body. Biodynamic massage may be included as part of the process.
Biodynamic Massage
You may also choose to come for biodynamic massage on its own. This can be helpful if you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected from your body, or simply in need of a space where you can slow down and be cared for. The emphasis is on supporting your body’s natural capacity for relaxation, regulation, and wellbeing.
