Brain Gym was devised over 30 years ago by a kinesiologist who was dyslexic himself.
The main principle is that the brain is in two halves – the right half controls the left side of the body, and the left half controls the right side of the body. The two halves also have slightly different functions, with logic and language being mainly on the left, and creativity and music being on the right [in most people]. If the communication between the two halves is impaired in any way, then there may be a slight dysfunction such as language difficulties, dyslexia, attention deficit, learning problems.

By using the Brain Gym series of simple exercises, the pathways between the two halves of the brain are enhanced, and learning becomes easier. To achieve the best results, it is necessary for the exercises to be practised regularly in between sessions.

Counselling is for people who find themselves in need of someone to confide in. The person may be struggling with difficulties in their private or working lives or have become ill, and are seeking experienced help within a private setting. They may wish to change aspects of themselves or their lives.

Counselling offers support, encouragement and guidance to relax and explore difficulties. Present circumstances and relationships will be looked at and maybe circumstances and relationships in the past. As the client begins to understand more of themselves and how they relate to other people they will discover solutions to their problems, gain more control and feel much better within themselves.

A simple, yet powerfully effective technique that has been sweeping across America and now the UK. The treatment evolved as a simplified version of Thought Field Therapy, pioneered by Roger Callaghan [a kinesiologist] in the 1970’s. In the hands of a trained practitioner it is possible to relieve negative emotions and other stresses that have been affecting the body and mind for years, and amazingly it can also be learned by the patient and used to great effect at home.

The technique involves tapping gently on various points corresponding to the ends of the energy meridians that run throughout the body. These are the same meridians used by acupuncturists and kinesiologists, but in this case gentle stimulation of the meridians by tapping is enough to release the energy blockages caused by negative emotions and physical symptoms.

The treatment can be done fully clothed, and it is not necessary to lie down.

Imagine if you had a phobia, say of water, flying or spiders, and within half an hour it could either disappear or be reduced to a slight discomfort!
Imagine if you were subject to headaches, and you then had the means to release each headache as it appeared, but without the use of toxic painkillers!
Imagine if you had to go for an interview, or speak in public, but were so nervous you couldn’t remember anything. By using EFT on yourself, you could calm yourself and remember everything!
Imagine if you had a deep, simmering anger at someone which couldn’t be expressed, and resulted in depression, and that it could be released safely, leaving you feeling lighter and at peace.

Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is not a state of deep sleep. It does involve the induction of a trance-like state, but when in it, the patient is actually in an enhanced state of awareness, in this state the conscious mind is suppressed and the unconscious mind is revealed.
Hypnosis is a natural state, each and every one of us goes in and out of trance several times a day, for example when we are day -dreaming, concentrating, falling asleep or even watching the television.

Hypnosis is a different state of consciousness which you can naturally enter so that beneficial suggestions may be given directly to your unconscious mind.
Hypnosis is an effective way of making contact with our inner (unconscious) self, which is both a reservoir of unrecognised potential and knowledge as well as being the unwitting source of many of our problems.

It is a fact that no-one can be hypnotised against their will and even when hypnotised, a person can still reject any suggestion. Therapeutic hypnosis is a state of purposeful co-operation.

Hypnotherapy aims to re-programme patterns of behaviour within the mind, enabling irrational fears, phobias, negative thoughts and suppressed emotions to be overcome.
As the body is released from conscious control during the relaxed trance-like state of hypnosis, breathing becomes slower and deeper, the pulse rate drops and the metabolic rate falls. Other changes enable the sensation of pain and the awareness of unpleasant symptoms to become less acute or alleviated.

Hypnotherapy involves the patient experiencing a sense of deep relaxation and wellbeing with their attention focused on appropriate suggestions made by the therapist. These suggestions help people make positive changes within themselves.

It is generally accepted that ALL hypnosis is ultimately self-hypnosis. A hypnotherapist helps to facilitate your experience - hypnotherapy is not about being made to do things, in fact it is the opposite, it is about empowerment!

A professionally trained Clinical Hypnotherapist will be able to use a wide variety of hypnotic techniques, so that therapy can be tailored to the individual patient.

Spiritual Healing has been practiced across the world for thousands of years. Spiritual healing complements conventional medicine to help people recover from illness, injury or distress. It balances the mind body and spirit to bring about a true state of inner harmony. Bringing the recipient to a full, happy and healthy life with a deeper awareness of inner peace. Spiritual healers usually recognise the source of the healing energy as God, sometimes the energy is described as the Life Force.

Spiritual healing is a natural energy being channelled through the healer to the patient, who does not need to have any religious belief or faith at all.

Healing takes place fully clothed with the healer placing their hands on or above the body of the recipient. The recipient will feel warm, comfortable and relaxed throughout the treatment. They will leave the treatment with an enhanced feeling of love and wellbeing.

Spiritual healing is often used with the terminally ill as an adjunct to conventional treatment. It can be used on all ages from babies to the elderly. Absent healing is also possible where the recipient of the treatment cannot be present.
