About Verinder Sharma

For fifteen years, I sat on the other side of the table, as a financial regulator at the FCA, and IOSCO, holding financial institutions to account. It taught me how systems fail people, and how much composure it takes to function at a high level while carrying pressure no one else can see. That's who I work with now: high-functioning professionals whose nervous systems are holding more than their calendars let on. I'm a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP), trained under Dr Peter Levine, and I currently serve as Director of the Somatic Experiencing Association UK (SEAUK). I've also completed Dr Gabor Maté's Compassionate Inquiry short course, having first met him in person at a healing retreat I attended as a participant. My work is trauma resolution, not simply trauma-informed conversation. We work with the body's stored stress response directly: the tension, the freeze, the dysregulation that talk therapy alone often can't reach. I hold additional training in de-escalation and crisis support, and in voice and presence work with Patsy Rodenburg, which shapes how I hold space in session. I'm affiliated with ORB and The Conduit, communities I turn to for ongoing rigour and peer accountability. Sessions are held online, English or Spanish, working with what your body is already telling you, often more honestly than words can. If any of this resonates, book a consultation call below. We'll spend it simply finding out whether this is the right fit for where you are. www.soulsomatictherapy.com/contact
