Effective Therapeutic Techniques Tailored to Your Needs
Counselling
Counselling is a form of talking therapy that will help you understand and manage some difficult symptoms of mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression or OCD and trauma as these emotional issues may be impacting your life in ways that no longer serve you.
In between your counselling sessions, I may suggest trying small experiments, applying some of the strategies we’ve discussed so that you can gradually embed these useful processes into your everyday life. I find my clients are soon noticing significant changes. You will obtain greater self knowledge, be supported to cultivate self compassion and learn practical and realistic ways to prioritise and incorporate self care into your daily life.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an incredibly effective time tested system of complementary medicine. According to traditional Chinese medicine philosophy, our health is dependent on the body's ability to move energy (Qi). When Qi levels are out of balance or become blocked this will result in pain or illness. Acupuncture can be used on acupoints to free the flow of Qi and improve wellbeing. Today it is widely recognised as the go - to natural therapy for our modern world and many people find this therapy offers an effective solution for a broad range of health conditions such as headaches, digestive discomfort, insomnia, joint pain, PMS or natural fertility, while some people choose to have the treatment to improve their overall sense of wellbeing.
Hypnotherapy
Clinical Hypnotherapy enables you to create fast, effective and positive changes in your life and allows you to let go of unwanted patterns or behaviours such as smoking or overeating in a totally safe and natural way.
The experience of Hypnotherapy is an extremely pleasant feeling of relaxation and a heightened state of inner awareness, like guided daydreaming. A little like being half awake and half asleep, you can hear and understand what is being said, and are aware of what is happening around you.
While in this calm, peaceful state you will be gently guided to focus your attention on positive visualisations and become able to access your inner resources, strength and wisdom which enables you to create new behaviours and ways of thinking and find new, creative solutions to your problems. Hypnotherapy allows you to change your limiting beliefs and enables you to become open to a whole new world of possibilities. You deserve wonderful opportunities in your life and hypnotherapy can help create them.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
EFT is a very powerful yet gentle method of balancing the body's energy system. It rebalances the energy channels so that emotional harmony may be restored. EFT can be used to treat both physical and emotional imbalance through simply tapping with the fingertips on acupressure points on the head, chest and hands. At the same time you will be guided to make positive statements that focus on making improvements such as increasing self confidence, overcoming phobias or reducing pain. EFT provides rapid results and creates powerful lasting change.
Reflexology
Reflexology relaxes the body, calms the mind, and gently soothes the emotions through applying gentle pressure to reflex points on the feet. These points correspond to different body organs and systems, and pressing them has a beneficial effect on organs and overall health. For example, a specific spot in the arch of the foot corresponds to the kidney point. Through applying pressure with thumb or finger to this area, it has a healing effect on kidney functioning through dispersing energy blockages. The energy released creates a wonderful feeling of inner peace as tension is dissolved. Many people use reflexology to complement other treatments when addressing conditions like stress, asthma, headaches, PMS and hormonal imbalance. Reflexology is also extremely effective for boosting your immune system and improving your overall sense of well-being.
Walking therapy
Walking therapy is a great way to heal in nature. The blend of physical activity and therapeutic conversation offers a refreshing alternative to traditional therapy settings. Some patients can find the traditional face to face therapy intimidating and walking side by side eases this feeling and allows for a more relaxed approach to conversation.
Benefits include, sleeping better, reduction in stress and anxiety and improvements in physical health.
