Reed Amos(they/them)

I'm Reed, my pronouns are they/them. Some labels I use are: Non-binary, transgender, autistic, white, animist, queer, polyamorous, artist.

After over a decade of providing support and care to disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent communities, I found myself wanting to provide healing spaces for trauma away from a clinical environment. With my personal therapy journey leading me to somatic therapy, I very quickly became fascinated with how the tools I learnt meant I was more able to live in the present, feel safer in my body and move through the world better resourced.

In our sessions, we work slowly and collaboratively, paying attention to what is happening in your body as well as your thoughts and emotions. This might include noticing sensations, exploring patterns, and gently building your capacity to stay with your experience without overwhelm. We can learn how your nervous system works and how best to resource it at your own pace. There is no pressure to perform or “fix” anything, this is a space to listen, feel, and make sense of your inner world.

Over time, this process can support you to feel more at home in your body, better understand your emotional landscape, and move through life with more steadiness and self-trust.

My professional background is in supporting individuals, families and communities in a range of different roles and settings. I am passionate about disability and trans* justice and include liberatory informed and decolonisation practises in all that I do.

I am autistic and live with C-PTSD, and I navigate the world as a transgender, non-binary person. I have experience supporting people with and without formal diagnoses, including neurodivergence, chronic fatigue, EDS, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
