About
I believe in an holistic approach based on treating the person as a whole, treating the physical, mental and emotional imbalance as one. I regard them intimately connected since they are all aspects of the whole person's condition. Any symptom of any condition is the individual's unique way of expressing their illness or the way they feel and think, symptoms are warning lights.
I have always referred to my work as 'complementary' rather than 'alternative' and did, for many years, practise within two GP surgeries in Buckinghamshire, namely The Surgery in Little Chalfont and Cross Keys Surgery in Princes Risborough, before moving to the South Coast in 2000.
I am a qualified and experienced professional therapist, having been in full-time practice for 36 years. I belong to recognised professional organisations and can offer a high level of expertise to help with all aspects of the Mind-Body connection. I personally use Meditation in my daily life, having learned T. M. in 2002.
In 1992 I travelled to Phoenix, Arizona to train with The Milton H. Erickson Foundation in what has become NLP and it's spin off therapies. There I was lucky enough to be taught by the originaters of many of these therapies, such as Tad James M.S.(Time-Line Therapy) Betty-Alice Erickson M.S. L.P.C.(Using Metaphors). John Edgette Psy.D.(Sports Hypnosis), Jeffrey Zeig, Ph.D.(Intergrative Hypnotherapy)
