Therapy for Health
“The body speaks to us through symptoms. Symptoms tell us something is going on, whether through the nature of the symptom, the effect it has, or the changes it demands”
Deb Shapiro
Do you feel like
your condition has stolen your life?
Like you have no control over your body? Having a long-term health condition can have a ripple effect, impacting many areas of how you live. Your work, your hobbies, your sleep, your relationships and your plans for the future can be changed either through a sudden diagnosis or the long-term impact of living with an illness.
I offer you a space to make sense of this, process your journey and listen with understanding and non-judgment.
Your mind and body are inextricably interconnected. If you are curious, I am also interested in helping you to make links between your life experiences, your emotional life and the impact these may have on your physical symptoms. Many people are surprised by how much having this awareness and making some small changes can influence their condition for the better.
I am in a unique position to offer both my medical awareness and experience as a physiotherapist in the NHS for 25 years as well as my counselling training to support you with your health. My main goal is to give you understanding and control of your physical well-being where you are able to live the best possible life.
