Monika Knitter Counsellor and Somatic Therapist
"Helping you find balance through a specialised integration of Talking Therapy, Somatic Trauma Therapy, and the Rewind Technique—addressing both the mind and the body for deep, lasting recovery."
My Integrative Approach
I work integratively, which means I don't follow a rigid "one-size-fits-all" script. Instead, I draw from a specialised toolkit to support your unique healing process. We can focus on one specific method, or move fluidly between them as your journey unfolds.
- Integrative Counselling: Using Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, and CBT foundations, we explore your thoughts, history, and current challenges. This provides the space to be heard, understood, and to gain cognitive insight into your life patterns.
- Somatic Therapy: Trauma lives in the nervous system, not just in our memories. By incorporating Somatic elements, we move beyond "just talking" to address the physical symptoms of trauma—like tension, breathlessness, or feeling "numb." We work to restore a sense of safety within your physical body.
- Rewind Therapy: For those struggling with intrusive memories or PTSD, I offer Rewind Therapy. This is a highly effective, non-intrusive, results-oriented technique designed to "file away" traumatic memories so they no longer trigger a painful emotional or physical response in the present.
- Gestalt Therapy: I incorporate a focus on the "here and now," helping you become more aware of how you relate to yourself and the world in the present moment. By exploring our relational patterns together, we can uncover how past experiences shape your current life, allowing for deeper self-awareness and authentic change.
Start Your Journey
Choosing a therapist is about finding a "relational fit"—someone you feel truly seen by. Our journey begins with a simple conversation via email or phone, followed by an initial consultation; this is simply a space for us to explore what you are experiencing and to see if my way of working feels right for you. There is never any pressure to commit to further sessions.
Investment & Accessibility
Sessions are £65 for a full 60 minutes. Because I believe therapy should be accessible, I hold a small number of reduced-fee online spaces for those in difficult financial situations - please feel free to mention this when we connect.
Where to Find Me
I welcome clients in person at my Edinburgh practice, as well as online globally.
I look forward to hearing from you.
