Emotions can get the better of us, bringing more difficult times in our life than we feel we can cope with. Loss, trauma or changes can feel very overwhelming and we can also find ourselves in a rut. Depression, Anger, Anxiety and Stress, OCD and Addictions, all play a major role to how we are feeling, which then effects all corners of our lives.
As well as the issue effecting our lives, it also effects those around us, which can bring added stress and difficulty.

Relationships are also effected and can breakdown through lack of communication and understanding. We start to feel frustrated and trapped, even unsupported. This is the point where we may need help to look at the reasons to why we feel the way we do.
Sometimes the need to talk to someone is often thought about, but not always followed thru. It can be very difficult to talk to a family member or friend. So contacting a therapist, can be the biggest step you will take.



How I work

My private practise, is run from my home in an allocated room, where you are given complete confidentiality at all times with no disturbances. I offer a safe, confidential place for you to explore your problems, thoughts, feelings and behaviours where you will not feel judged in any way. Helping you, to work thru your issues, gainning new insight and understanding, enabling you to move forward in your life with a more positive outlook.

If you decide to book an appointment for a consultation, I will gather as much information you feel comfortable enough to discuss with me at that time, in order to see the areas where I can assist you, to get your life back on track.
We will discuss treatment, where you can ask questions you feel necessary to put your mind at ease.

If after the consultation you feel you would like to continue with therapy, weekly sessions will follow.
Therapy will be taken in your own time and never rushed. If there are areas you feel you can not deal with at the time, you will not be pushed into discussing them.
It is important that you feel confident in me as your therapist, which will allow good rapport
I am a dedicated, caring professional therapist, with a genuine drive, to help you overcome life and health issues.You will be treat as an individual and given my full attention during your therapy process.

How can Reflexology help?

Reflexology is a complementary therapy that involves the application of pressure to specific points, known as reflexes, on the feet and hands to encourage the body to heal from within. The therapy is based on the principle that the feet contain ’mini-maps’ of the whole body and that by applying pressure using the fingers or thumbs, a reflexologist can have a positive effect on the corresponding parts of the body.

One thing is clear, reflexology is so much more than a simple foot rub. It is a powerful therapy which has been shown to have a very positive effect on health and well-being. When a part of the body is not working at its best, a sensitive area will be found in the corresponding part of the foot when pressure is applied to it. By working over sensitive reflexes through a number of reflexology treatments the tenderness will usually reduce as the body begins to function properly again.



How can Hypnotherapy help?

Hypnotherapy is an entirely natural state of relaxation of the mind and body and a therapeutic use of hypnosis. You are in control the whole duration of the hypnotic state and can stop the process anytime you wish. During the hypnotic state, I will guide you, using suggestions from the information you have given me concerning your issue, to alter the psychological thought process connected to your issue. You will reach your personal goal, that you search to achieve. Hypnotherapy is nothing like the stage shows. You will not give away your secrets and will not be transformed into a farmyard animal.



How can Counselling help?

Counselling offers a safe, confidential place for you to explore your emotions, thoughts, feelings and behaviours, that are connected to the issue that is keeping your life stagnent. I will help you work thru the difficulties you are experinecing, to gain new insight and understanding, which will allow you to move forward in your life more positively.

If you decide to book an appointment for either of these therapies.
Therapy will be taken in your own time and never rushed. If there are areas you feel you can not deal with at the time, you will not be pushed into discussing them.

If you would like further information.
Please feel free to contact me for a confidential chat, by email or phone, for further information about how I can help. If you leave a message, I will return your call as soon as possible, you will not be left waiting for a reply. I look forward to hearing from you.



How can Reiki help?

Reki is a natural therapy of hands on healing, that originates from Japan. It will help you to realign balance in your mind and body, helping you mentally, physically emotionally and spiritually. Reiki is a therapy where you will feel very relaxed thru the whole process. After each session, you will begin to feel more positive and confident in yourself and about life, with raised energy levels, no longer feeling sluggish and out of sorts.



EFT for Children

Children can often find life experiences very traumatic and not easy to talk about. If a child is being bullied for example, the child may be fearful of expressing thru fear of re occurrences, bringing them more trouble and pain to deal with. I work with children of all ages using EFT therapy. EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique, and is a therapy that uses the meridians in our body, to release emotional blocks caused by experiences that are either traumatic or negative and can interfere, with a childs natural growing life. I encourage a child, to tap on meridian points while they talk about what is causing them distress. They are never pressured and can talk as much or as little as they choose.

Children find EFT an easier way to express what they are feeling. They also find tapping fun, which encourages them to use the tapping and express more easily. EFT can also be used outside sessions, if a child needed support with feelings and thoughts connected to whatever is distressing them. They can use EFT, to help them express because each time EFT is used, it lessens the impact of the emotional block, until that emotional block no longer exists.
