Körperlandschaft — a landscape of the body

Caricoma — an integrative therapeutic practice

When connection breaks, something in us searches for a way back.

Caricoma is a practice for relationships, sexuality, trauma and repair. Working with individuals and couples, I integrate sex and relationship therapy, Somatic Experiencing® and attachment-informed approaches to support deeper connection — with ourselves, with others and with the body.

The organising idea

From rupture towards repair.

Mending is not returning to who we were. It is discovering new ways of being in relationship — with ourselves, with one another, and with the world.

Caricoma is a psychosocial practice — an integrative therapeutic practice and an emerging experiential think tank for thinking, writing and conversation — between minds, between bodies.

Whether fragmentation arises through trauma, grief, sexuality, migration, loss or the ordinary complexity of being human, this work is concerned with the possibility of integration.

Through clinical practice, writing and interdisciplinary dialogue, Caricoma explores what makes repair possible.

On mending

Mending is not the return of a thing to what it was, but the patient bringing of fragments back into relationship.

The nervous system as a shared instrument

Between two people, regulation is never solitary. Attention itself is a kind of tuning.

A quiet beginning

Begin with a complimentary consultation.

A gentle first conversation, without cost and without obligation, to sense whether this feels like the right kind of place for the work you have in mind.
