I have been seeing Reza for over nine years now and have been very pleased with the treatment I have received.  I have had various problems starting with a fall, when I knocked my shoulder out.  In addition to joint, neck and back problems, Reza has treated my chest and sinus problems too. Over the years his treatment has always helped to restore my general health and well-being.  Noticeable changes in energy levels after his treatments have been amazing.  I cannot recommend Reza enough. IT WORKS!

I consulted with Sarah to help me overcome some chronic health issues. I found Sarah to be highly professional and knowledgeable.
​
Her brief check-in sessions between consultations were extremely helpful to keep me focused and gave an opportunity to ask any questions that arose between appointments. I feel truly supported by Sarah and I would highly recommend her if you are looking to improve your health and well-being.

There is more to health than not being ill. This is what I have discovered throughout my shiatsu treatments with Virginie.

I went to see Virginie because of a “mechanical” back problem (a slipped disc), but this has actually become the less of my concerns.

After a year of treatment, I see myself going through life without rushing all the time, my tensions are ebbing away, the knot in the pit of my stomach (which I thought was part of my anatomy!) is slowly disappearing, I can sleep, and I can live in England, and not be cold all the time!!

I love going to Virginie’s appointments! It’s my secret happy place. And it’s not just because I feel so much stronger, invigorated, warmer and happier afterwards, but because I can see that Virginie too feels genuinely happy about working towards my wellbeing, be it physical or emotional.

Thank you!!"

Michelle Roberts
Art Psychotherapist

 Michelle is a fully qualified and registered Art Psychotherapist with a Masters Degree in Art Psychotherapy.  Michelle works with children, young people and adults.   She is a full member of the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) and is registered with HCPC.

Art Psychotherapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art media as its primary mode of expression. Within this context, art is not used as a diagnostic tool but as a medium to address emotional issues which may be confusing and distressing. 

Art Psychotherapy is a different approach to 'talking therapies' which sometimes can feel too challenging or perhaps there are no words to describe how you feel, or may be words simply aren't enough'.  Art psychotherapy offers another way to tell your story.  There is absolutely no need to consider oneself 'artistic' or 'creative' to engage in this process.

Psychotherapeutic approaches which support creative forms of self expression and play are often the preferred method for children and young adults for enabling them to process difficult sensations and emotions.

Hayley Stevens
Body Psychotherapy, Somatic Trauma Therapist, EMDR (UKCP)

Hayley Stevens has 17 years experience working as a psychotherapist and 25 years as a coach and facilitator of personal change and transformation.

She initially trained as an Integrative Psychotherapist with Metanoia Institute before retraining as a body psychotherapist with Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre.  She has subsequently trained with Babette Rothschild in Somatic Trauma and EMDR.  

Hayley tends to work long term with people experiencing symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress (or PTSD) before moving beyond trauma into finding a way of fully embracing oneself and discovering a different way of being in the world.

Working with the undigested remnants of trauma experience requires a very specific approach.   Hayley's approach is one that invites the individual to experience being fully embodied - which means to be present to our experience in the here and now, from moment to moment, with a sense of being able to respond to whatever that moment requires.    

​Hayley is a co-founder of Silk House Therapy Practice and the big room cic.
