I am a fully qualified and experienced Integrative Therapist. My background is in medicine, therapy, counselling and education. I have worked with adults, teenagers and children for over 30 years. I am insured and fully CRB/DBS checked.

​

As an integrative therapist I am trained and experienced in a number of disciplines. To best support my clients in achieving their goals, I use a combination of approaches and techniques in creating a totally bespoke treatment plan.

​

I am a firm believer in Sophrology and have practised this for several years to enhance my own life. This relaxation strategy encompasses mindfulness, breathing techniques, gentle movement and visualization. I use Sophrology techniques to help me deal with the daily challenges of life and to bring a state of calm to my mind and body. When your mind and body feel calm you start to feel at peace with yourself and the world around you.  Sophrology techniques are easy to learn and with daily practise can help you feel happier and contented within. 

 

Sophrology is a relatively new practice which draws on a number of older disciplines and ancient wisdom. It is used by French and Swiss doctors as a first line method to deal with depression, manage stress and help with anxiety issues instead of prescribing medication. It is also recommended by oncologists prior to undergoing cancer treatment. It helps by relaxing the body in order for it to be in it's best state for responding to treatment, and for healing purposes. Sophrology has given hope to many patients worldwide without the use of medication.

​

I am qualified to take hypnotherapy into schools to help pupils and teachers alike. I have worked as a primary school teacher for many years and have extensive training and experience of using a variety of therapeutic techniques.

 

I'm happy to discuss your requirements in an initial free consultation where we can discuss and agree a treatment plan. For me, building an honest and trusted relationship with clients is key. I'm easy going, have a sense of humour and will endeavor to make you feel relaxed and comfortable, so please don't feel apprehensive!
