Katie Sarra

Truth is beauty, and beauty is truth.

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all I know on earth, and all ye need to know," - John Keats.

One of Eugene Gendlin's quotes about truth is: "What is true is already so … it is what is there to be interacted with … People can stand what is true, for they are already enduring it."

Katie Sarra is an artist, teacher, art psychotherapist, and Somatic intimacy coach with over 40 years of experience guiding others to trust their creative self-expression in intimacy and to be witnessed with radical acceptance. This is where acknowledgement and kindness give birth to gratitude and joy, rather than more stress getting better in make-believe.

Please feel free to schedule a free discovery call to explore Somatic Intimacy training with the Relational Harmony Institute REEFâ„¢ (Relational erotic and emotional fluency) Coaching model. These can be either online sessions or in-person retreats.

Online or In-person Retreats

  • Online sessions from the comfort of your home

    In the privacy of your home, Katie will guide you step by step in discovering what you really want, inhabiting new ways of being, and finding a resting place with kindness for what has been painful. Whatever age you are, there is hope for discovering more confidence in your intimate self-expression - whether you are rekindling the fires of your soul and purpose and wanting to find new approaches and ways of being that bring you fulfilment, or you might be wanting to learn for the first time ways of inhabiting confidence to co-create loving intimate relationships.

    Katie has over 40 years of clinical practice experience to guide you, along with years of personal and professional development. Katie attends to her own therapy and supervision and is a certified Wheel of Consent facilitator, Art Psychotherapist and founder of Body Poem.

    I warmly welcome you to your six or twelve-session programme.

    At the beginning of your programme, you can book all six or twelve sessions using this link. Once I receive notification that you have booked your first session, I will send you the payment link.

    Online sessions from the comfort of your home

    6 or 12 Session Programmes

    You can book six or twelve 90-minute sessions using this link and six or twelve 60-minute sessions using this link.

    Prices

    60-minute Sessions as Part of a 6-Session Programme (These are Psychotherapy & Body Poem sessions):

    • 6 sessions - £575 (£25 discount)

    • 12 sessions - £1,125 (£75 discount)

    90-minute Sessions as Part of a 6-Session Programme (These are a combination of Psychotherapy-Body Poem with time opportunities for embodiment practices and intimacy skills training)

    • 6 sessions - £850 (£50 discount)

    • 12 Sessions - £1,700 (£100 discount)

    These six- or twelve-session programmes create a container to hold the process as we establish our working relationship with each other, with guided Body Poem explorations and embodiment practices.

    When somatic openings become active, past memories of being sad, lonely, in grief, in outrage, disbelief, in pain, etc, are very likely to surface in this process.

    I am alongside you with the Body Poem practice of radical acceptance as you discover the new strategies and ways to meet your needs. I am here to support your integration, and I can often arrange a more frequent session schedule to guide you through these repair processes during times of intensity.

    Successfully coming through experiences where you feel lost in your faith can be both humbling and empowering, offering tremendous opportunities for growth and confidence in navigating these in the rest of your life, breaking the patterns of when things have gone wrong, and there was no way to repair them. This is possible when we are acknowledged and understood, and when the necessary regret and remorse are felt, which leads to learning and repair.

    These are natural transitions in the therapeutic process that can feel so intense that titration is needed. This is especially relevant for couples in this process and for anyone who might benefit from working through the loneliness of not being met, acknowledged, or understood in relationships.

    These programmes are containers for this process and are non-refundable if you decide not to complete them.

    If you are unsure and wish to proceed gradually, you are welcome to book one session at a time. If you prefer to book one-off sessions before committing to a programme:-

    The pay-as-you-go price is:

    * £150 for 90-minute sessions arranged via the 90-minute session link

    * £100 for 60-minute sessions arranged via the 60-minute session link

    Both of these use Stripe to process your payment.

  • Embodying Intimacy In-Person Retreats

    Embodying Intimacy in-person retreats in the UK.

    If you are embarking on a therapeutic process to update versions of yourself and inhabit new ways of being, I recommend complementing your embodiment journey with in-person retreats to practice the wheel of consent and the essential micro-skills of intimacy and to engage in a wide range of healing and empowering bodywork.

    Each day, we work together for approximately six hours, with a one-and-a-half-hour lunch break.

    Accommodation is not included. Refreshments and snacks are provided.

    Locations are in Devon or London and are arranged as part of a 6 or 12-session online program.

    They are held in quality private locations in harmonious surroundings.

  • Couples coming together from growing apart

    For couples, it is recommended that you work with two of us - Joseph Allen, my male colleague and me; together as this creates a stronger container for your process. We collectively bring over 40 years of in-depth ranges of experiences and trainings in the field of sexuality. We can provide demonstrations and bodywork opportunities that are especially useful for couples, with the polarities of gender roles and historical ruptures playing out between you. The two of us hold you both effectively, alongside both of you simultaneously.
