I use the holistic approach to ensure that while one modality may be the primary answer to the central issue, all relevant aspects of the client's well-being are considered. Relaxing on the massage table, thereby easing mental and physical stress, can at times lead the person to talk; a tense and upset counselling client could benefit from some Reiki or massage beforehand; talking through issues could point to the client benefitting from bodywork to ease stress and anxiety. At times all three modalities can be used together to maximize the benefits to the client.

Counselling: the holistic approach ensures that the client is encouraged to look at more than just the emotional issues involved. On telling their story, many clients find that they are able to clarify their situations and are able to discover who they really are, and why, and how. My passion in counselling is with relationships, the desire to help couples enhance their togetherness, stop the rot rather than clean up the mess afterwards.

In addition to Counselling I am also qualified as a Reiki Master and Teacher. Reiki adds a hands on modality which is extremely useful in assisting clients to relax and can provide relief from many stress and anguish related conditions.

Reiki: this ancient gentle hands-on modality can be used anywhere anytime, and provides relief from stress and anxiety as well as assist with emotional issues and pain management, and leads to deep relaxation.

Relaxation Massage: as with Reiki, relaxation massage promotes a sense of well-being, helping the client ease tension and stress, leaving them feeling nurtured and deeply relaxed.
