Counselling &
Psychotherapy
Counselling and psychotherapy provide a safe, confidential space to talk openly about your thoughts and feelings. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties or life changes, therapy offers supportive, professional guidance to help you gain clarity, build resilience and move forward in a way that feels right for you.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a gentle, guided therapy that uses focused relaxation to help you access deeper patterns of thought and behaviour. It can support a wide range of issues, including anxiety, phobias, confidence, habits and stress. In a calm and safe environment, hypnotherapy helps you make positive changes by working with the subconscious mind.
Massage &
Reflexology
Massage and reflexology are deeply relaxing therapies designed to support both physical and emotional wellbeing. Massage helps to ease muscle tension, improve circulation and reduce stress, while reflexology uses gentle pressure on specific points of the feet to encourage balance throughout the body. Both treatments offer a calming space to unwind, restore and rebalance.
Shamanic
Healing
Shamanic healing is a holistic practice that works with energy, intention, and spiritual guidance to restore balance and wellbeing. It can help release emotional blockages, reduce stress, and support personal growth, offering a unique path to inner clarity and harmony.
Oncology Massage
Oncology massage is a gentle, specialised form of massage adapted for people living with cancer, undergoing treatment or recovering from treatment. The focus is on providing a safe, nurturing space for relaxation, comfort and wellbeing, with techniques and pressure adapted to suit each person. Oncology massage does not treat or cure cancer, but can offer valuable time for rest, relaxation and self-care alongside conventional medical treatment.
Jikiden Reiki
Jikiden Reiki is a traditional Japanese form of Reiki that focuses on simple, practical healing through gentle, hands-on treatment. The approach is rooted in the original Japanese teachings of Reiki and places emphasis on calmness, relaxation and supporting the body's natural ability to restore balance. Jikiden Reiki offers a peaceful space to slow down, switch off and take time for yourself.
