Sometimes a young person doesn’t have the words for what they are carrying.
Instead, the body speaks.
Migraines.
Insomnia.
Digestive discomfort.
Withdrawal.
Difficulty concentrating.
For many adolescents, stress related to school pressure, friendships, family dynamics, and the unrelenting stimulation of the digital age can overwhelm a still-developing nervous system. What cannot yet be expressed in language is often held in physiology.
Families often first seek support for a specific symptom. Yet over time, the work becomes something deeper — a shift from focusing solely on the ailment to supporting the underlying regulation that makes experience feel manageable again.
In my work with adolescents, sessions are a co-regulated space of safety and presence. Parents are welcomed and remain present as companions in the room. The young person may talk, sit quietly, read, move around, or pause when needed. The therapeutic space adapts to them — restoring a sense of agency in a world that can feel overwhelming.
Through gentle Craniosacral Therapy, we support the nervous system’s capacity to settle and reorganise. When the body no longer needs to hold stress so tightly, symptoms may begin to soften.
While each individual responds differently, supporting nervous system regulation can profoundly influence sleep, pain patterns, emotional resilience, and the quality of relationships between young people and their caregivers.
I also work with adults who recognise similar patterns in themselves — chronic headaches, persistent insomnia, digestive tension, or a sense of being constantly “on.”
Sometimes the work begins with symptom relief.
Often it evolves into reconnecting with a deeper, steadier sense of self.
Appointments are available. If you feel this may support your child — or yourself — you are welcome to get in touch for a no-obligation 20min chat to dicsuss any questions you may have.

Following six sessions with a 15-year-old experiencing frequent migraines and insomnia, her mother shared:
“We really appreciate the treatment you gave DG. Her migraines have settled significantly — now perhaps once a month rather than several times a week, and they no longer linger for hours. She’s sleeping much better. Before she was withdrawn and flat, but now she has an openness — more spontaneous and motivated. A completely different energy. It’s so lovely to see.” — H - Mother

🧘‍♀️ If you’d like to take a few mins to drop into to a slower, calming sense of embodied presence, why not pop over and visit my website Resources page for a short guided settling contemplation.
🕔 It’s 10mins and gently orients you to the material and fluid nature of your embodiment and perception, - experience is happening, it’s flowing and you are spaciously present to it.. This is taken from a guided meditation I gave in a group context but can be used as an individual resource. Try it and see what it brings you
✍️ Leave a comment on your experience.
In Biodynamic craniosacral therapy we actively orient to cultivating embodied resources as a support for our health to manifest in tangible down-to-earth ways which we can return to in the day-to-day, bringing in glimmers of wellness beyond the sessions.
☑️ If this interests you and you’d like to learn more please reach out for a chat I’d love to hear from you, or book a session via my contact details in post and bio. Go well! Ben

Transcripit of excerpt -
- Gently inviting your attention to drop in the direction of your body
- If there’s a lot of movement in your mind and thinking, that’s OK..
- Don’t try to push anything away, just open the gateway to include the sense of being in your body right now
- Notice the sense of your contact with the floor
- A sense of your weight-fullness
- And the quality of that support, how do you feel that right now?

Looking forward to this research being shared! Three Rivers Craniosacral Therapy uses the MeasureWell WHHQ in clinic to help evaluate real world client outcomes and contribute to the evidence base for the therapeutic benefits of Craniosacral Therapy. Clients have the option to opt in or not participate in the WHHQ Measure Well questionnaire of wellbeing at their first session and at other points during the session work we undertake together

📊 Coming soon: Measuring the Impact of Craniosacral Therapy

The Craniosacral Therapy Association is proud to share key insights from its upcoming Annual Report, developed in partnership with Measure Well Ltd.

Drawing on data collected, this public summary explores:
• Who is accessing craniosacral therapy
• Why people seek CST
• The changes clients report in their wellbeing

This work represents an important step in strengthening the evidence base for CST and supporting practitioners to clearly demonstrate the value of their work.

📅 Full report coming soon

Feeling spaced out, not all here? or not having agency or options, immobille (freeze response) or collapsed (fawn response)?
Sometimes the reason we are struggling lies in the shadows beneath the symptoms we experience -
Craniosacral Therapy promotes slowing down and settling in to the wholesome nervous system state of 'rest and repair' in present time awareness.
Dissasociation is characterized by sysmptoms such as 'Feeling spaced out, not all here, not having agency or options, freeze, immobillity and colapse' These can be accompanied by myriad physical sysmtoms and a depletion of vitality.
The process of resetting the nervous and reintegrating the dissociated parts is individual and nuanced, relational and a collaboration between therapist and client exploring embodiement and gently building resources step by step within and beyond the treatment sessions.
I am exerienced at supporting clients with nervous system dyregulation and offer compassionate non-judgmental inquiry to facilaite safety and boundaries within the craniosacral therpay practice. Craniosacral therapy has been likened to Psychotherapy for the body, where the body has the space to speak what we don't feel we know or can.
