Somatic Experiencing

Testimonials

Chronic fatigue

"I first got ill at the age of 28 and started on a 12-year downward path (later diagnosed as ME) which left me bedridden for years. I wasn't even strong enough for a longer telephone conversation, so my husband had to discuss my situation with Dr. Downing! I started improving almost immediately and quite soon I was able to start doing my own telephone consultations! Four years later I was strong enough to tolerate the EPD treatments for food and chemical sensitivities; after 5 years I cooked my first meal again, and after exactly 10 years I was able to travel abroad on holiday. Dr. Downing's immensely skilful, patient and good-humoured help had given me back my life."

“I always feel ‘renewed’ after seeing Bevis. We have negotiated a regular session whereby Somatic Experiencing is followed by osteopathic style bodywork – it’s an absolutely marvelous combination; it feels like he really attends to all of me. He is extremely good at understanding the nuance of character structure, and how trauma manifests in the body – and likes to stay there. I love his kind, cheerful, honest, empathic style. He always leads me to a new insight to my path of healing. For me, Bevis is the ‘therapist’s therapist’.”
