Everyone at some point in their lives will experience emotional distress and sometimes this feels too much to cope with alone. Feeling overwhelmed is not a sign that you are weak, rather it is a sign that you have had to be strong for too long. We are here so that you don't have to carry on alone and to provide you with a safe space where you can explore whatever is troubling you. Counselling and Psychology is the process whereby you begin to really explore your difficulties, how and why they developed and ways to move on from them. Sometimes we are just too close to our problems and can't see the wood for the trees. This is where we can help. We offer different types of therapeutic solutions to cater for different types of problems.

These are just a few examples, so please get in touch to discuss how we can help. Person centred counselling can be offered for one to one, relationship, and families, where you will be able to work at your pace and you can decide each week about the content of the session.  Many approaches to counselling can be used within the sessions and these will be explained in the initial FREE  consultation. We view every client as an individual and do not believe in a one-fits-all approach. Your experiences and their effect are unique to you therefore our work must be too.  Here are a few therapies we use: • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy • Neuro-linguistic programming • Psycho dynamic Therapy • Integrative Therapy At the initial consultation you will have the opportunity to ask questions and this will allow us to plan the best course of action for you.  It is really important for the success of your therapy that you feel we can build a good working relationship. We will do our best to create a safe, trusting environment for you so that you feel able to explore all you need to. If you decide that you would like to begin therapy then here are a few things that you can expect. • A session is 50 minutes and weekly • You choose a time/day to suit you • All sessions are confidential The number of sessions required will vary from person to person. We will discuss this together and plan the sessions with regular reviews. Relationship Therapy We work with couples to address a wide range of issues from infidelity to psycho-sexual difficulties. We work within a positive, sexuality-affirmative framework and welcome couples from all sexual orientations. Sessions last for 65 minutes.

Eastern medicine has always recognised and worked with this energy, which flows through all living things and is vital to our well-being. This energy is also known as 'Ki' in Japan, 'Chi' in China and 'Prana' in India. Reiki is a non-invasive therapy that is used to treat the person holistically and to restore harmony to the physical and spiritual bodies. Dr. Mikao Usui was born in the village of Yago, located in the Yamagata district in Gifu prefecture, Japan on August 15, 1865. He studied in a Tendai Buddhist monastery as a child and was known as a talented student. It is written in his memorial that he was knowledgeable in psychology, medicine, fortune telling and the theologies of religions around the world.

The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing and spiritual development which was developed by

Mikao Usui in Japan, early in the 20th Century.  Reiki translated means 'Universal Energy'.  This energy is ever present and is the

force which surround all things. A lot of people will confuse Reiki by teaching that it is something outside of themselves which one must reach for where in reality Reiki is and always will be with you.

Reiki energy is good for: • Helping you to relax • Increasing energy levels • Detoxifying the system • Releasing suppressed feelings • Speeding up the healing process • Pain relief (back, neck, shoulders, legs)

Reiki is a gentle ‘hands on’ healing method that works on a physical, mental, and emotional level. Reiki is a simple and effective way of promoting healing, relaxation and well-being. Reiki is not a new therapy and has been around for thousands of years originating in Japan. It is recognised and used in clinics in USA, Canada & Europe. Reiki is not associated with any religious belief and can be beneficial for everyone to improve health, well-being and emotional stability.

Spectrum Therapy™ was created and designed by Mick Stott to help people in the military suffering from Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).   The therapy had outstanding results and has been found to work extremely well with addictions, eating disorders, stress, anxiety, depression and panic attacks. Under light hypnosis a client can revisit life experiences without having to relive any associated traumatic content. It removes negative emotions (Anger, Sadness, Fear, Guilt, Hurt, Anxiety), from memories, and erases non beneficial Core Beliefs. Spectrum Therapy™ has been in development since 2006. Those who experience Spectrum Emotional Therapy can expect the following: • A significant reduction in negative thoughts and emotional responses to past traumatic or stressful experiences • To feel lighter and less stressed about things in general • A greater understanding of what causes emotional problems and how to develop new strategies for the future • A greater sense of emotional and physical well-being • Greater control of emotions in situations that have previously been problematic  Spectrum Therapy™ is currently being used by numerous organisations and individual Coaches/Practitioners throughout the UK and continues to grow.
