Inaro & Somatic Therapy
Inaro is a therapeutic space created for gay and queer men to explore identity, relationships, and emotional wellbeing in a way that is grounded, thoughtful, and free from judgement.
Founded by Michael Cotton and Armand Botha, Inaro was developed in response to a shared recognition that many gay and queer men are navigating complex experiences around intimacy, shame, connection, and belonging, often without spaces that fully understand or support these challenges.
The work at Inaro is rooted in somatic therapy. This approach recognises that lived experience is held not only in the mind, but in the body. Patterns of tension, emotional response, and protection can exist outside of conscious awareness, shaping how we relate to ourselves and others.
By integrating approaches such as Internal Family Systems, somatic processing, and bilateral techniques, Inaro offers a steady and supportive environment where these patterns can be explored safely and at an individual pace. The focus is not on quick fixes, but on building awareness, increasing capacity, and supporting lasting change.
