SOUND THERAPY STUDIO
Sound Therapy in Bishop’s Stortford
Relaxing sound sessions to help you feel calmer, ease anxiety, and support you to switch off properly
Whether you fancy a relaxing sound bath or want something more personal with a 1:1 session, the aim is simple: to help you feel calmer, clearer, and more like yourself again.
If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or constantly on edge, sound therapy is a different way to deal with it.
Based in Bishop's Stortford, these sessions use sound to help you properly switch off, so your body and mind can relax instead of staying in stress mode.
What to expect from a sound therapy session
Sound Therapy Studio is based in Bishop's Stortford. I offer 1:1 sessions and sessions for couples, to help you relax, calm down, and reset.
For 1:1 sessions, we start with a quick chat, then you lie back and listen while your body relaxes.
Sound baths are more laid-back, no chat first. You just lie back and switch off.
You can come alone or bring someone with you. There's nothing you need to do, just lie down and relax.
How sound therapy can help
Sound therapy works by helping your body and mind relax. The body and mind are linked, if one is a bit stressed, the other will be too. Using different instruments played in specific ways, the sound supports your body and mind to move into a more relaxed state.
Afterwards, people often notice:
-
less noise in their head
-
less tension in their body
-
feeling calmer overall
-
a bit more space before reacting to things
This isn't just a nice feeling - it's backed by research from The British Academy of Sound Therapy and others in the field.

Hello!
I'm Katy, founder of Sound Therapy Studio
I used to work in marketing - fast-paced, big projects, lots of stress. After losing my mum, I started looking at things differently, and sound therapy gave me a way to sit with my grief in a way that nothing could. That led me to train the become a Sound Therapy Practitioner with the British Academy of Sound Therapy, and I've never looked back.
My favourite part is when people arrive unsure, and an hour later say, "I didn't realise how much I needed that."
I can't promise miracles (though it does happen). What I can offer is a calm space to press pause and properly relax.

"The session was powerful in the best possible way. The sound felt expansive and grounding at the same time, helping me release tension I didn’t realise I was holding. Afterwards, I felt deeply rested and more aware of how much tension I had been carrying."

How Sound Therapy Supports Anxiety
Sound therapy uses specialist instruments played in therapeutic ways to support physical, emotional and mental regulation. In structured 1:1 sessions, carefully applied sound is combined with reflective dialogue to increase awareness of how anxiety is presenting in the body and mind.
During sessions, the brain may move into slower alpha or theta states, sometimes described as an altered state of consciousness. This is a natural and restorative state that the body enters daily. In this state, the nervous system can begin to settle and shift out of ongoing stress activation.
The intention is not simply to induce relaxation, but to support regulation and help the nervous system move out of repetitive stress patterns over time.
