Counsellor, Supervisor & Complementary Therapist
Sometimes we are still experiencing the outcomes of events long after they have passed and our ability to make the adaptions needed may become compromised yet we may not know why. Media saturation, pressures, responsibilities and a 24/7 world can all be factors that start to impede negatively on who we are. Focus on our mental and physical health has never been more important. Stressors that we never expected we are now living with daily; anxiety, depression, pressure and responsibilities all have an impact on your mental health and well-being. Both face-to-face and online counselling are available via Skype, zoom and telephone.

Chilibre Holistics is the result of a lifelong journey of growth and interest in people’s well-being, incorporating independent services of talking therapy and complementary therapy. Passionate and driven in making a difference, my area of interest lie in encompassing the subjective world of the individual being as you see, hear, feel, think and be, which contribute to both internal and external stressors in your world. Alongside this are my interest and continually growing knowledge of the biology and physiology of how our brains and bodies operate and the science behind the responses of our being. This brings to my practice the opportunity to work in a psycho-educational way. Ultimately I work in a multi-faceted way that suits you. Every individual’s journey through life is unique and we will explore the therapy services on offer and what will work best for you.

Areas of Practice
EMDR - Availability from August 2024, please enquire within
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a comprehensive psychotherapy that helps you process and recover from past experiences that are affecting your wellbeing. It involves using side-to-side eye movements combined with talk therapy in a specific and structured format. As a qualified EMDR therapist, I am experienced in working safely, responsibly and effectively with you. For people who have experienced serious & often complex traumatic events or situations in their lives. My training enables me to offer an alternative counselling approach if you feel you are struggling to move past traumatic events and possibly where you feel talking therapies alone are not hitting the mark and are continuing to suffer.
Counselling
Whatever your age, background, race or culture, you are not alone. Together we can walk the journey and explore what could be going on for you. Being heard and talking freely in a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space can be incredibly empowering in understanding who you are and how you can be more true to you, whilst navigating your path for growth and development
Couple Counseling
Couple therapy can help people open up some of the issues that are troubling them. Couples who come together open up communication between them so that they can understand the underlying issues in order to resolve the difficulties they are experiencing and find an agreed way forward.
Bereavement Counselling
Death raises questions which Science cannot answer, your world as you knew it as no longer there. Loss is so very personal, with no right or normal response. Your feeling can be very strong, unexpected and frightening. At other times you can feel numb and even detached, guilt, shame, anger, sadness and even relief. Talking through the feelings, thoughts and behaviours can be incredibly supportive in making sense of it all
WALK AND TALK
Counselling in motion, walking side by side with you at a pace that suits you. Walking outside and talking through your challenges can help by feeling less contained and less intimidating to the traditional face to face stillness of a room. Being out among nature can support the therapeutic process towards feeling freer, having ‘space’ to talk and enabling a little creativity, as well as a little healthy exercise.
Pet Bereavement
Grieving for a pet can be a sad and difficult experience. Losing a much loved pet is similar to mourning the loss of a loved one. Much as some may try and rationalise that you have ‘only’ lost a pet, the truth is that you are grieving for a companion, friend and family member, sometimes it may be your only family member. The grief of a pet can sometimes make you feel even more isolated through feelings of not being understood, where it can be felt as a less important grief, often dismissed by those around us.
mINDFULNESS
It's easy to rush through life without stopping to notice much. Paying more attention to the present moment – to your own thoughts and feelings, and to the world around you – can improve your mental well-being. Mindfulness can help us enjoy life more and understand ourselves better.

Reiki energy is said to help rebalance the whole person in mind, body and spirit.
