Services Overview

I help you feel the way you wish you felt with a confidential, non-judgemental service tailored around your needs.

I use counselling to help with emotional unease ranging from childhood trauma/abuse to recent work-related or personal stress. My passion is combining Bowen and counselling/coaching to help alleviate physical pain with an emotional base, or to help clients work through the emotional impact of long term health conditions and/or pain. Clients can book a a course of counselling sessions, a single treatment of Bowen therapy, or a regular time slot to use as they feel they need to on the day. Neither my emotional nor physical treatments are based on a process or turning you into a pre-defined version of 'normal' - it's about making you feel comfortable with who you are and how your body operates.

Bowen therapy is a soft tissue therapy which affects the muscles, fascia and the systems controlled by muscles. It's a hands on, gentle therapy administered through clothing. It can relieve pain as well as improving energy and sleep, helping with breathing or digestive problems and improving movement. I also offer a specialist lymphatic Bowen treatment for clients who have had Bowen therapy before.

I have a clinic in Coleford on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays where I see clients face to face, and also offer talking therapy online via Zoom.

Practitioner Profile

I’m passionate about helping people ditch their pain.  After a long career in corporate HR and suffering from stress and depression myself, I took the opportunity offered by redundancy to retrain to help other people feeling as bad as I did.  I saw so many people suffering both physically and emotionally that I decided to combine Bowen and counselling/coaching into a single holistic package. Research shows physical pain/illness and emotional unease are very closely linked and there are very few physical therapists offering treatment for both.

I have lived in the beautiful Forest of Dean with my husband and a succession of dogs, cats and horses for over 20 years.
