Ongoing consultations will include SMART goal setting, strengths assessment, psycho-education and your choice of other therapies that I offer.
TALKING THERAPY
Let it out
One to one counselling sessions including Solution Focused Brief Therapy and CBT based therapy.

SOUND THERAPY
Bathe in Healing Soundwaves
Sound therapy, also known as sound healing or a sound bath, is scientifically proven to heal a range of ailments on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. The instruments used at tuned to a specific frequency that will lull you into a deeply relaxed state. As the soundwaves flow through your body, your brain waves resonate with the frequency of Theta. Theta brainwaves are the state between wakefulness and deep sleep, it is in this state of consciousness that we heal and rejuvenate at a deep cellular level.
KUNDALINI YOGA
An Ancient Yogic Science
Kundalini Yoga is also known as the Yoga of Awareness. Through this practice you will develop a deeper understanding and awareness of yourself, the world around you, and the Universe.
The practice involves:
- Meditation
- Breathwork
- Kriyas (postures that are often repetitive although sometimes held)
- Mudras (specific hand gestures that activate certain parts of the brain)
- Mantras (Chanting Sacred words)
The combination of these 5 aspects is called a Kriya. Each Kriya is carefully designed for a specific outcome. Kriyas are like yogic prescriptions for different ailments or issues you want to work on. There are over 5000 Kriyas, so whatever your issue, you can be sure there is a Kriya for it.
MINDFULNESS PRACTISES
Cultivate awareness
Mindfulness is not just meditation, it can be incorporated in your every day life, in everything you do. Living more mindfully allows you to live a life with less stress, reduced anxiety, improved mood and more pleasure.
I will teach you different methods and practices that you can do in every situation. You will learn valuable tools to help you reduce stress, worry, anxiety, low mood or hyperarousal. You will learn how to respond to situations, rather than react. You will learn how to appreciate the little things in life and find pleasure in what is usually mundane and ordinary life.
As you learn to apply Mindfulness to every aspect of your life, every aspect of your life will improve.
NATURE THERAPY
Connect to Nature
Time in Nature is Therapy in itself. Trees naturally emit phytoncides or aerosol molecules that we absorb through our skin and inhale into our bloodstream. These have many benefits, some trigger endorphin release (happy hormones!). Some activate enzymes and bodily systems that rebalance mental health and physical wellbeing. Some have been shown to increase NK activity - the "Natural Killer' cells in our body that fight off infection.
So combine being in nature with other therapies, (any of the above), and we have a powerful healing concoction.
