Introduction

Holistic therapies can help you to achieve optimum health and vitality and alleviate some of the strain of life.

Holistic therapies have been used in one form or another across all cultures throughout history.

I offer a range of therapies which can be carried out on their own or combined with others to provide a personalised approach to your health requirements.

I am a fully qualified holistic therapist (details of my qualifications can be seen on the about me page), and a practicing member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT).

My clinic is based at The Orchard Counselling and Complementary Therapy Centre, Horsforth, Leeds.

My clinic runs at various times Monday to Friday, this includes a limited amount of out-of-office hours appointment spaces. To check availability please call me on the contact number given below.

 

Some of the common reasons that people seek therapy are:

• Relaxation - all complementary therapies will provide some element of relaxation, it is often a matter of personal preference as to which therapy would best provide this for you. My personal preference would be hot stone massage
• Relieve pain or discomfort - pain can be alleviated by several different therapies, take a look at the individual therapy pages for more information about how
• Relieve muscular tension and strain - massage or Thai massage are often the approach that would be used for this problem however reflexology has been used when a person prefers a less direct approach
• Relieve stress - again all holistic therapies will offer relief from stress in some way but a treatment that seems to come top of the list for some people is Indian head massage
• Alleviate sleeping problems - the most often accessed therapies for this issue are aromatherapy, massage and reflexology
• Soothe digestive disorders - aromatherapy and reflexology seem to be the most used therapies for this
• Relieve headaches and migraine - aromatherapy, massage and reflexology
• Calm respiratory conditions - aromatherapy or reflexology are often used for this reason but ear candling can also be very effective
• Soothe skin conditions - aromatherapy or reflexology
• Relieve anxiety - most therapies will tackle this issue
• Lift low mood - any therapy can be used for this but aromatherapy and reflexology are the most popular choices
• Boost wellbeing - all therapies will boost your wellbeing
• Assist the body’s natural defence mechanisms - aromatherapy or reflexology are often specifically chosen for this purpose
• Increase energy - Reiki would be my first suggestion for anything energy related

The above is just a rough guide to give you some idea of which therapies may be used for what but these are not the only options, just those that are most commonly chosen. I have given a full explanation of what the therapies are and how they can help you on the individual therapy pages. Feel free to take a look at these to get a little more information, or give me a call to discuss how holistic therapies can work for you.

 

I understand that coming for holistic therapies is a very personal experience and that coming to see a therapist you have never met before can be quite daunting. For this reason I have also included a page about me so you can get a feel for who I am and what I aim to do in my work.

I am often asked if I can recommend suppliers of natural health products, self help products, and practitioners of other therapies. This links page may provide additional useful information.
