In my therapy I adopt a holistic approach to helping you empower yourself to maintain and promote balance, good health, and importantly, develop tools to manage anxiety, stress, trauma responses and, importantly,  how to stop negative thoughts. To do this, and improve overall wellbeing, you are encouraged to find your breath to be grounded and focussed on the here and now through daily mindfulness practices. The role of nutrition in preventing and overcoming physical and mental or emotional conditions is also considered.

I will be offering face-to-face individual sessions and small group sessions soon so please look out for dates and locations. Outdoor sessions will be offered during the summer where possible.

I can help you:

• understand your physical, emotional and mental responses to past events and anxieties over future ones, and how these can be managed naturally (i.e. within you)
• manage negative thought patterns and behaviours and develop positive ones
• learn how to view past, present and future differently to those your experiences have created and that affect you today.
• appreciate the importance of being in the present moment
• develop your sense of self and improve self-esteem
• achieve calm, focus and clarity through mindful breathing techniques and mindset practices
• make nutritional changes to prevent ill-being and promote and support ongoing physical and mental wellbeing

Some of the therapy options are condensed into on-demand remote therapy modules and are equivalent to several therapy sessions. These are:

Rethinking Responses - support to adopt a more positive mindset, overturn negative thought patterns and achieve calm through growth mindset practices

Breathing and Other Self-Help - Daily Mindful Practices to alleviate anxiety, improve sleep, achieve calm, focus and clarity.

Introduction to Ayurveda - appreciate how the environment, elements, diet and digestive strength can negatively or positively affect us and how to make this work for you for improved wellbeing and health.

Managing the Monthlies - therapeutic self-help course for those wishing to discover natural ways to alleviate menstrual and menopausal symptoms, including period pain in menopause while reducing the use of over-the-counter medicines
