I work with people of all kinds - some with medical problems, some with no problems but wanting to get more out of life. With my background in both orthodox and alternative medicines I believe I am ideally placed to help those who have drawn a blank with conventional medicine and who are now searching for new possibilities.
I offer help to anyone seeking a holistic approach to health and personal effectiveness. I take a creative, individualised, positive approach in my work with individual clients, couples, groups or companies.
I also offer guidance to people who are considering alternative or complementary
medicine for the first time and do not know which way to turn. Similarly, I offer
liaison for GPs and other practitioners wanting to refer such patients.
I incorporate (as appropriate):
- medical consultation & examination
- acupuncture
- counselling and psychotherapy
- relaxation and stress management
- visualisation
- tuition in creating-skills
- coaching in personal effectiveness
I generally work on a one-hour-a-week basis but this is very flexible. The initial consultation is all some people need or want. Some may go on to explore in depth various aspects of their health, while others will need a series of quick and simple treatments with acupuncture. The average length of a course of treatment is 6 - 8 sessions.
The first thing is “getting to know you”. I can learn from you what is going on and what you want to achieve. You can ask any questions you may have and find out what the possibilities are. If appropriate, a full medical history and examination can be done.
If acupuncture treatment is required, it is usually possible to start during the first session although sometimes the second session is better, leaving time to prepare.
