The Face and Body Interpreter

09/06/2026

What is your client's face telling you that their words aren't?

Every client tells a story not just through their words, but through their face, their body, and the patterns they carry. Personality characteristics, habitual expressions, and long-held adaptive patterns are all there to be read, if you know what to look for. And no two clients are the same.

Recognising Emotions and Unique Perspectives of Your Clients - Their Face is Your Guide is a practical course for counsellors, therapists, and health professionals who want to expand their lens. You'll develop a new layer of awareness, learning to see the features and patterns your client presents and considering their face and body as both a resource and a framework to open a different perspective in your work together.

Real understanding goes beyond listening to words alone.

Your Client Provides More Information Than You May Realise

Have you ever been in a session where something felt like it didn’t quite add up, but you couldn’t fully explain why?

Often the face, body language, emotional responses, and communication patterns can reveal far more than words alone.

Join me for a FREE 45-minute webinar where I’ll introduce you to Psychosomatic Face Reading and share how this approach can help practitioners better recognise emotional patterns, client perspectives, and communication styles.

Through a real case study, I’ll demonstrate some of the psychosomatic patterns and responses that can be observed through the face and body.
In this webinar, we’ll cover:
✔️ What Psychosomatics is and how it supports deeper client understanding
✔️ How Face Reading can complement therapeutic and coaching approaches
✔️ Examples of emotional and behavioural patterns reflected in the face
✔️ Q&A

This webinar is also an introduction to my 6-hour professional training:

Watch Psychosomatic Conversations - The Body as a Guide, Not an Obstacle (Part 2 of 3)

This month’s Psychosomatic Conversations session focused on “The Body as a Guide, Not an Obstacle,” the second part of a three-part series exploring the connection between physical symptoms, emotional patterns, and self-awareness.

In this recorded session, Linda Thackray, Christy Foster, and Sean Jago share personal experiences of times they ignored or pushed past what their bodies were trying to communicate.

The discussion explores how symptoms such as insomnia, neck pain, anxiety, and exhaustion can act as important body signals rather than problems to simply suppress or push away. The conversation highlights the importance of awareness, slowing down, and developing a different relationship with physical symptoms and stress responses.

The session concludes with a guided reflection exercise led by Christy.

Have you ever noticed someone smiling while talking about something painful?

Or realised your own face continues holding certain expressions even when you are trying to relax?

In psychosomatic awareness, repeated emotional responses can gradually become embodied within the face, posture, nervous system, and personality itself.

In this new blog, I share the difference between micro expressions, macro expressions, and habitual expressions - and why recognising these patterns can offer deeper insight into emotional protection, nervous system responses, and the ways the body learns to adapt over time.

Explore micro expressions, habitual facial expressions, and psychosomatic awareness to understand how emotional patterns and nervous system responses become embodied over time.

Part 2 Topic: The Body as Guide, Not Obstacle

Many of us have learned to push past the body - to override signals, ignore discomfort, or see symptoms as something to fix or manage. But the body is often the first place truth arrives. It reflects our limits, our fears, our unmetabolised emotions, and our deeper yes and no.

In this second session of our 3-part series, join Linda Thackray, Christy Foster, and Sean Jago as they explore how to begin listening to the body in a different way - not as something working against you, but as something guiding you.

This is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and start recognising what your body may already be showing you - in ways that support greater clarity and alignment.

If you can’t attend live, the session will be recorded.

Watch Psychosomatic Conversations – Why Global Uncertainty Affects Us More Than We Realise (Part 1 of 3)
How External Stress Impacts the Body

This month’s Psychosomatic Conversations session focused on the topic of “Why Global Uncertainty Affects Us More Than We Realise,” the first part of a three-part series exploring how global changes impact both our external and internal worlds.

In this recorded session, Linda Thackray, Christy Foster, and Sean Jago share insights from their work, discussing how heightened nervous system responses can manifest physically and emotionally, with participants reflecting on their own experiences of recognising and managing these activations.

The conversation covers practical ways to connect with the body, including breathwork, self-observation, and the importance of creating internal space during times of external stress. There is also a focus on how past experiences and triggers can continue to influence the body through stress responses and physical symptoms.

The discussion highlights the value of working with a guide or therapist when deeper emotional patterns arise, and the role of awareness in supporting ongoing integration.

I was honoured to be interviewed by Leigh Milne on 101.3FM Collie Community Radio’s Transcending Trauma program to talk about Face & Body Interpretation and how the body communicates our inner world.

In this episode, Leigh and I talk about how facial features, expression, posture, and movement reflect emotional patterns and lived experience. I share how I work with facial lines, muscle tension, and body structure, alongside psychosomatic therapy and Chinese five-element wisdom, to support awareness and understanding.

This approach isn’t about surface observation. It’s about listening to what the body is already showing us and using that information to support wellbeing and emotional balance.

If you’re curious about how the face and body hold meaning beyond words, this conversation may resonate.

Part 1 Topic: Why global uncertainty affects us more than we sometimes realise. How the nervous system responds to unpredictability

In times of change, it can be easy to stay in the mind, trying to make sense of what is happening around us. But the body is often already responding - holding tension, shifting energy, and signalling what we may not yet have words for.

In this first session of our new 3-part series, join Linda Thackray, Christy Foster, and Sean Jago as we look at how global change can influence our inner world, how the body communicates what we are holding, and how we can return to what keeps us grounded.

This is a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what helps you find steadiness in uncertain times.

If you can’t attend live, the session will be recorded.
