SOMATIC THERAPY AND TRAUMA THERAPY

Lucia Bernhard

I am a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), a Hakomi therapist-in-training, a licensed physiotherapist (BPT), and a craniosacral therapist (Upledger Institute).
I work with clients with varied needs and goals, and I am trained to work with survivors of trauma. I meet with clients in person and online in English, Italian, and French.

About Lucia

I work with clients online primarily using Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Hakomi. Somatic Experiencing emphasizes resolving trauma through body awareness and regulation, while Hakomi integrates mindfulness and body-based techniques to organically work with core material. Together these provide a holistic, experiential approach that is delivered in a gentle, highly supportive and loving environment.I am a Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and have completed the Hakomi Foundation Training with Halko Weiss, one of the originators of the method. I am currently completing the Hakomi Advanced Training with Weiss. Previously, I worked as a rehabilitation specialist in conflict zones with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and I continue as a consultant trainer for World Physiotherapy (WPT).

My Approach

As a therapist, I approach each client with deep compassion, kindness, and a caring attitude. I believe in creating a safe space where a client feels heard, understood and supported as an individual.
My clients include people that have survived trauma, people coping with difficult feelings or challenging life circumstances, and people seeking to live their life with more balance and harmony. My work involves listening not just to their words but to their body's wisdom, helping them connect with their own healing potential. I honour each person's unique journey, offering gentle guidance and respect for their pace and process. My goal is to help clients rediscover a sense of safety, resilience, and well-being in their bodies, empowering them to navigate their lives with greater ease and confidence.
