View profileSomatic Therapy is a body-based therapeutic approach that helps people understand how stress, emotions and past experiences appear in the body. It focuses on nervous system regulation, body awareness, grounding, breathing, movement, tension, posture and physical signals. The aim is not to force relaxation or relive difficult events. The aim is to build safety, awareness and practical tools step by step.
This approach may support people dealing with stress, anxiety, hyper-alertness, emotional overwhelm, body disconnection, trauma responses, chronic tension, sleep disruption or shutdown. It may also help when a person understands a problem mentally but still feels trapped in physical reactions such as tightness, restlessness, numbness, shallow breathing or a constant sense of danger.
Somatic Therapy can be relevant for Trauma & PTSD and Complex PTSD. In trauma, the nervous system may keep protective responses active long after the danger has passed. Sessions can help the person notice these patterns without shame, return to the present, and develop more choice in how they respond.
A session may include body awareness, grounding exercises, breathing, gentle movement, tracking sensations, resourcing and small-step exploration of triggers. The therapist should adapt the pace to the client’s safety and tolerance. Good somatic work does not push the person into overwhelming memories. It helps build capacity first.
Somatic Therapy may also support people with chronic pain, psychosomatic symptoms or sleep issues, especially when symptoms interact with stress, tension or nervous system activation. It should not replace medical assessment when physical symptoms, pain, medication effects, breathing problems or sudden changes need attention.
Before starting, ask the therapist about their training, trauma-informed approach, use of touch, consent, pacing and online availability. Somatic Therapy can be used alone or alongside approaches such as EMDR Therapy or Mindfulness Meditation, depending on the person’s needs and stability.
The Côte d’Azur attracts people from all over the world, and many international residents of Nice look for somatic therapy in English or their own language. Sessions combine conversation with attention to breathing, posture, sensations and grounding, at a pace you can tolerate.
Online sessions by secure video help if you live elsewhere on the Côte d’Azur, commute to Monaco or spend part of the year away. In France, sessions with psychologists and psychotherapists are mostly paid directly; under the “Mon soutien psy” scheme, a limited number of sessions with participating psychologists can be partly reimbursed.

Your therapist will adapt the pace and focus of sessions to your needs, goals, and current situation.

The therapy page also shows which therapists on MIT currently offer this approach.
A first session usually focuses on understanding what brings you to therapy, what you want to change, and whether the therapist’s style feels like a good fit.
You do not need to prepare anything perfect in advance. It is normal to start with questions, uncertainty, or mixed feelings.
This depends on your goals, the complexity of what you are dealing with, and how structured the approach is. Some people use this therapy for short-term focused work, while others stay longer for deeper change.
Availability depends on the therapist. On MIT, you can check the therapist cards and profile pages to see whether online sessions are offered.
Fees vary by therapist. When no live therapist prices are available yet, the usual range for this therapy is around €90–€170 per session.
Start by reading the therapist’s profile, experience, languages, online/in-person availability, and approach. Then check whether the person works with the kind of issue you want help with.
A good fit is often about both expertise and how safe, understood, and comfortable you feel with the therapist.
Yes. MIT profiles can include direct messaging, and therapists can also activate online booking when available.
This helps patients ask practical questions before committing to a first session.
That is very common. You can start by contacting a therapist, explaining what you are struggling with, and asking whether this approach fits your goals.
If no therapist is listed yet for this therapy, you can still explore related approaches and pathologies on the site.
It depends on the therapist. Some see clients in person in Nice, others work only online by secure video, and some offer both; the format is indicated on every profile. Online sessions can be a practical option if you live elsewhere on the Côte d’Azur or spend part of the year away.
Yes. Therapists in the network work in English, French and other languages. See the English-speaking and French-speaking therapists in Nice, or check the languages listed on each profile.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors, and their consultations are covered by the Assurance Maladie when you follow the coordinated care pathway. Sessions with psychologists and psychotherapists are mostly paid directly. Under the “Mon soutien psy” scheme, a limited number of sessions with participating psychologists can be partly reimbursed, and many mutuelles or expat insurances refund part of private sessions: check your contract. Therapists give you an invoice you can submit.
Fees are set by each therapist and displayed on their profile. The indicative ranges shown on this site are around €80 to €180 per session for most individual approaches, €120 to €220 for couples or family sessions and €70 to €130 for coaching, career counselling or parenting support. A session usually lasts 50 to 60 minutes, weekly or every two weeks.
Therapy cannot respond to emergencies. If you or someone near you is in danger, call 112 (European emergency number) or 15 (SAMU, medical emergencies). For suicidal thoughts, the national prevention line 3114 is free and available 24/7.
Start with what matters most to you: the language, the topic you want to work on, the approach, in-person or online sessions and the fee, all shown on the profiles. If you would like help choosing, tell us what you need and we will suggest therapists. Your impression after the first session counts too.
