I work with the belief that we are made up of a complex combination of physical, mental and emotional energies

Our conscious and unconscious thoughts operate and maintain our body and its life support systems. We fall out of balance when, over time, disruptive and self-destructive thoughts and feelings adversely affect not only our relationships but imbalance and put our body into dis-ease. Often, it’s only when we get physically ill that we take notice and act to get better. The causes can be rooted in dysfunctional feelings,thinking and behaviour.

Psychological difficulties and tensions can be held and trapped in our bodies. These increase the production of cortisol and adrenaline-.the fight, flight and freeze hormones. With no physical outlet they sit and stir up trouble within causing general inflammation. This may lead to all kinds of trouble-sleep disturbance, stomach and bladder problems, immune system deficiency, high blood pressure, heart disease, dementia, arthritis, colds and flu and general body fatigue. Inflammation is a major contributing factor in most illness and disease.

Getting back into healthy balance needs a comprehensive approach to treatment calling on any one of a number of interventions whether counselling, psychotherapy, physical exercise, better sleep, healthy nutrition, relaxation and the practice of mindfulness.

My practice encompasses all of these with the aim of helping you to an improved quality of life.
