Physical problems

• Bodily aches/pains (headaches, muscle tension, stiff or sore joints, backache, bones which 'never felt right' after a fracture)
• Specific medical conditions such as Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome, indigestion, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, headaches/migraine, sinusitis, asthma

• Self-development/self awareness (confidence, shyness, self-esteem; can be a useful adjunct to, or substitute for, talking therapies)
• Emotional issues (panic attacks, over-whelming emotions, being cut off from feelings, depression, anxiety)

• Stress (includes irritability, panics, anxiety, sleep problems, tension headache)
• People who would like to function better, or need support through a time of change e.g. bereavement, divorce, being away from home, recovery from trauma or illness e.g. cancer
• Those who desire a better relationship with their body, or who feel a need for quality touch in their lives
• Abnormal activity levels (finding it hard to stop, or to relax--or tiredness, lethargy and inability to ‘get going’)

Within my practice, I have experience of working with:

• migraines
• headaches
• back ache
• arthritis
• pains or numbness in limbs/fingers
• insomnia/sleep problems
• sinusitis
• auto-immune problems
• arm discomfort following surgery for breast cancer
• IBS
• Crohn's disease
• CFS
• depression
• anxiety
• panic attacks
• trauma
• anger or frustration
• fear
• difficulties relaxing
• sleep problems
• wanting to feel more grounded
• dealing with death
• the end of a relationship
• support for carers

I particularly enjoy working with people who have lost confidence or a sense of direction in life; those who struggle with relationships; individuals who are interested in spirituality but do not necessarily find affinity with religion.

My practice also includes a large proportion of male clients.
