Here I offer different ways to get a better understanding of yourself through Body, Mind and Spirit.

I will support your journey towards healing without any judgement, in a safe and calming space.
I offer professional, integrative counselling for individuals aged 11 and over. Holistic Reflexology sessions which address the entire body via the reflex points on the foot and Ayurvedic Indian Head Massage, which is a perfect way to relaxation, working the back, neck, shoulders, arms, head, and face.

Counselling & Holistic Therapies
Discover a safe and nurturing environment where you can explore your concerns and enhance your well-being. I am dedicated to providing comprehensive support to foster personal growth and healing. Whether that is by sitting down and having a counselling session to talk things through and try and gain a better understanding of yourself and your responses to life/challenging times. Or whether it's upon the massage table where you get to spend an hour, switching off from the demands of everyday life, whilst I work on your body. Whatever you chose, the aim is to help you to be better equipped to face the demands of our modern world and all it entails in body, mind and spirit.
Counselling Services
I offer personalized counseling sessions for individuals aged 11 and older, emphasizing mental and emotional well-being. Sessions are available face to face or online. As an Integrative Counsellor, I utilise a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Person-Centered Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. This flexibility allows me to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client. Sessions can be conversational or incorporate creative methods, depending on what feels comfortable for you. Ultimately, our work is always guided by your preferences and goals, ensuring a client-centered experience.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic therapy that recognizes the body as an interconnected system, where physical, emotional, and spiritual elements play a vital role in overall health. My comprehensive reflexology sessions focus on stimulating the reflex points in the feet, promoting healing and balance throughout the body, mind, and spirit. I am committed to providing a reliable and professional experience that enhances well-being.
Ayurvedic Indian Head Massage
Ayurvedic Indian Head Massage, often called "Champissage," is a traditional healing practice from India. This type of massage focuses on the head, neck, back, shoulders, arms and face and its main goal is to help you relax, feel balanced, and improve your overall health. In Ayurveda, good health means having a good connection between your body, mind, and spirit. The Indian head massage works to bring back this balance by looking at both your physical and emotional well-being. During the massage, gentle techniques like kneading, tapping, and rubbing are used to focus on important areas such as the scalp, neck, shoulders, and upper back. This helps to relieve tension and allows energy to flow better throughout your body. This soothing treatment not only helps you relax but also balances the upper body, giving you a deep sense of calm and reducing stress.
