My Approach
Psychological therapy alongside physical therapy (PTPT) aims to support you to understand yourself, manage your behaviours and work toward both psychological and physical wellbeing and overall health.
By using therapy to release your body from holding life’s stresses, we can support overall body health. Somatisation is a term to describe the expression of emotional or psychological distress through physical symptoms. These symptoms can be transient or persistent phenomena.
We understand that stress and the range of negative life events can raise our cortisol. This can medically impact our heart, inflammation in our body, gut health, organ function and our nervous system.
By scanning your bloods, we can track specific markers and agree on how to positively support your health.
By looking towards gut health, diet and nutrition, we can consider some small changes to your diet.
By encompassing several well evidenced practices, we can work towards psychological and body health and wellbeing.
Psychological Therapy
Talk based therapy with the aim of exploring your difficulties in a safe and confidential setting.
I use neuroscience models to facilitate your understanding about aspects of your mind and what impact that may be having on your body.
Physical Therapy
This service may include some movement with the aim to release stress, tension and pain held in the body.
The movements are graduated and include breathing, and sometimes massage.
Blood Health Checks
We can start your health and wellness journey by taking your bloods to test up to 100 markers.
You can track and retest after 3- 6 months to begin to see the positive impact that healthy lifestyle choices will show.
