Counselling | Somatic Experience | EMDR Trauma Treatment
As an ACC registered counsellor, Mareile is excited to bring body-centred trauma therapy to Te Ara Sophia. Mareile works with individuals and families to overcome trauma, including developmental and complex trauma. She offers a warm, safe environment and a creative approach to support a diverse range of people from all walks of life to explore their life, face their challenges, and find new perspectives. Mareile draws on over 20 years experience in agencies, schools, sexual abuse support services and private practice using a variety of therapeutic interventions including Somatic Experiencing Trauma Therapy (which can release stress in the body and reduce emotional blockage, allowing the person to become whole, stable and healthy again), EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Creative Arts and Sand-tray Therapy. She also has had the long-standing privilege to work at the Rudolf Steiner School as a teacher and guidance counsellor supporting young people in their developmental process of transitioning to adulthood.
Somatic Experiencing® is a gentle yet potent psychobiological method for resolving trauma symptoms and relieving chronic stress. A research-based intervention, it assists the body in releasing pent up emotional charges that became trapped in the nervous system during traumatic events as anxiety and hyper-arousal states. In Somatic Experiencing we use inner resources, awareness of the bodily “felt sense” and slowing down to find balance and equilibrium.
