Osteopathy

Counselling

and

Counselling Psychology

This form of manual medicine has been developing over more than 100 years.

It is a holistic approach, working with the structure of the whole body and it's functions

and is applicable to babies, pregnant women, children and adults of all ages.

What to expect?

On your first visit (1hour) a full case history and examination takes place and a diagnosis and treatment plan is made, followed by treatment. Cranial Osteopathy is a key part of treatment, which has profound effects on the central and autonomic nervous systems, fasciae, viscera, circulatory, and lymphatic system and is often deeply relaxing.

Visceral Osteopathy can help organs of the body such as stomach, lungs or bowel work more efficiently.

Our therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each person according to their needs and may draw on humanistic, psychodynamic or CBT principles.

What to expect?

We suggest an initial session to see if counselling or counselling psychology with us is the best option at this time and plan our approach, number of sessions and frequency etc.

Counselling is offered in a quiet, safe,supportive and confidential setting, in a gentle and non-judgmental way, over a number of weeks.

Together we explore and work through any issues you may have, such as stress, anxiety, depression, traumatic life events, loss and bereavement, relationship challenges, sleep disturbance, illness, etc.

​

Nutritional Therapy

Nutritional Therapy combines the latest scientific research in biochemistry and nutrition to improve health and well-being.

What to expect?

During the consultation, your detailed health questionnaire and food diary is assessed. A personalised health plan which includes recommendations on your diet, lifestyle and supplementation is provided.

​

Food Intolerance Testing

A computerised screening device called the MSAS ("BEST") system is used.

What to expect?

A reading is taken from a point on your finger using a probe which is non-invasive. You will see the results immediately on the screen, followed by a printout listing the foods you are intolerant to.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture Chinese/Japanese in origin,is thousands of years old now widely used and recommended by the WHO and other medical bodies as an effective method of improving health.

What to expect?

Your health concerns, medical history, diet and lifestyle will be taken into account.

Needles are extra fine, sterile and discarded after single use. They are inserted gently into various points along the energy medians of the body and may be felt as minor, slightly achy sensations.They are left in for betweeen 5-25 minutes.

Traditional Chinese acupuncture is used to balance the energy of different organ systems of the body and many people find it relaxing and pain relieving.
