Briony Pilkington Body Psychotherapy

My experience working with Briony has been a wild ride! In the best possible way. She is a very authentic and kind person and clearly passionate about her work. Briony helped me to release a lot of stuck energy and emotion, and to experience parts of myself in a whole new way. She really knows how to hold space for all parts of you. I have found greater freedom and space in my body and psyche after sessions with Briony. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an effect and alternative approach to more traditional methods.

As an M.D. (UNSW) who was quite sceptical to energy work, I first started doing healing work with Briony in late-2020. As my body has became more sensitive to sensations & emotions through rigorous Vipassana meditation work, yoga, and plant medicine, I must say I am utterly convinced by the authenticity and effectiveness of Briony's work. The work will likely transform and deepen over time as you become more willing and develop more trust with Briony. When one is able to safey access and be present with lower emotional states such as shame, guilt, anger and grief, these will eventually dissipate and leave you feeling more naturally light, calm, grounded, present, confident, powerful, motivated, driven and more mentally open and flexible. When I first worked with Briony, I had developed extreme levels of social anxiety, addictions, depression due to an autoimmune back condition, which left me feeling helpless, resigned, disconnected and dissociated from my mind and body. As I write this, I feel quite consistently effortless in my way of being, able to connect, socialise, laugh, focus on what's important, remain grounded and feel more enthusiastic about my future than I have ever before. Briony's assistance has tremendously accelerated my progress by decades. Together we have worked on ancestral trauma, family systems, bioenergetics, bodywork, healing the masculine and feminine, anger work, shame work, self-sabotage & co-dependency work, boundary & assertiveness work and much work in accordance to all the chakras. Briony's integrity and presence can safely hold even the ugliest and most charged emotional states such as rage. I would highly recommend this teacher and healer.

Working with Briony has resulted in me having a much higher level of self awareness and compassion. She provides a space that is warm, open and accepting in which i have been able to practice expressing all parts of myself in a safe and responsible way. Her body work sessions are gentle, receptive and yet deeply powerful in facilitating relief and embodied awareness. My path has involved resolving complex trauma stored in my body, reparenting my inner child and learning to live more authentically and joyfully. I have worked closely with briony for a number of years and consider her continued effort and commitment to her work to be a true blessing. I have grown physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually with her mentorship. For this i am grateful and would recommend her services for anyone who feels called to expore inner work.

As an actor, I would often get feedback about my voice and that it isnt coming from the abdomen but coming out from my throat. Several voice teachers would try to help me with physical exercises to deepen my voice and make it stronger, but it didnt work out. That made me realise the voice issue lies deeper than the physicality. The problem seemed psychological, which brought me to Briony. Working with Briony was an intense and rewarding experience. She would often say to me that ALL of me is welcome here. We have done some therapy work, shadow work, and her extensive knowledge would allow her to see where the emotions were trapped in my body. Working with her was such an immersive experience, and I could see the results faster in 3 sessions than a year of previous therapy. I felt that working with Briony required me to be open and vulnerable, and dedicated, I managed to look into and accept certain parts of me that I was avoiding and that was standing on the way of me connecting to myself and my voice. I feel more vital as an actor and as a person, and I would be sure to come back at some point of my life for more work. Working with Briony felt very special, and I would recommend it to someone who wants to understand themselves better, from all walks of life.
