Hygeia Healing
AVAILABLE SERVICES
Counselling and so much more...
Available Services
The name Hygeia - the root of our word hygiene - reflects how I understand counselling: not as something we turn to only in crisis, but as a meaningful way of tending to our mental and emotional wellbeing throughout life.
Just as we care for our physical health, counselling can be a regular, supportive practice that helps us stay connected, resilient, and grounded.
People come to counselling for many reasons. You may wish to explore patterns of behaviour, navigate life transitions, or make sense of experiences such as grief, relationship breakdown, loneliness, ageing, or becoming a parent.
Sometimes there is no single event, just a quiet sense of feeling stuck, disconnected, or unfulfilled. Whatever brings you here, you'll be met with care, curiosity, and respect.
My role is not to provide answers, but to walk alongside you as a guide into your own inner world; your thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, creativity, and relationship with the natural world.
Drawing on counselling, creative and holistic approaches, I support you in listening more deeply to your intuition and inner wisdom.
Through this process, new understanding can emerge, helping you find your own meaning, strength, and way forward through life’s challenges.
Sandplay Therapy
Sandplay (or Sand Story) therapy is a unique and powerful form of counselling that uses the expressive and therapeutic qualities of sand and miniatures to facilitate healing and personal growth.
It involves the use of a sandbox, miniature figures, and sometimes water, allowing you to create scenes and narratives that reflect your inner world.
This non-verbal, symbolic form of therapy could help you explore complex emotions, past traumas, and hidden aspects of the psyche in a safe and non-threatening way.
The tactile nature of the sand and the freedom to manipulate objects helps to express feelings creatively when words and thinking have not helped.
In my role as your therapist, I provide a supportive presence and help you in uncovering insights and meaning from the stories you create in the sand.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a gentle, natural system of healing that aims to support the body’s own ability to restore balance and wellbeing.
It uses highly diluted, carefully prepared remedies made from plants, minerals, and other natural sources.
Each remedy is chosen to match the individual’s unique symptoms and emotional state, which means treatment is fully personalised rather than one-size-fits-all.
People often turn to homeopathy for support with stress, anxiety, sleep issues, digestive problems, hormonal balance, low energy, recurrent infections, and general emotional or physical imbalance.
Many clients value it because it’s non-invasive, holistic, and takes the whole person into account; mind, body, and emotions.
Homeobotanical Therapy
Homeobotanical remedies (often called Hb remedies) are gentle, plant-based blends that combine principles of herbalism with aspects of homeopathy.
Each remedy contains carefully prepared botanical extracts that are diluted and synergistically blended to support the body’s natural healing processes.
Practitioners value them for their versatility, safety profile, and ability to be personalised to each individual.
Hb remedies are commonly used to support a wide range of wellbeing needs.
These include stress and emotional balance, digestive health, immune support, hormonal balance, skin health, detoxification, sleep, energy, and overall vitality.
Because they work gently and holistically, they are often chosen as a natural complement to other therapies, aiming to restore balance and promote long-term wellbeing.
What happens when you book a consultation
An initial, exploratory 20-minute phone call (no charge or obligation) will give you a taste of what it would be like to work with me, then - if we feel like a good fit - I'll send out documentation outlining expectations on both sides (payment details, cancellation policy, etc).
COUNSELLING: in person/ walk and talk: £35 for 50 minutes. Sandplay therapy can be incorporated into a counselling session for the same price, in sessions lasting an hour and a quarter.
COUNSELLING WITH HOMEOPATHY OR HOMEOBOTANICAL THERAPY: £45
HOMEOPATHY/HOMEOBOTANICAL THERAPY: £25
SANDPLAY THERAPY SESSIONS ONLY: it may be that you're curious about sand play therapy as a standalone, in which case you can book one-off sessions, similar to ‘solution focused counselling’ sessions, or a series of sessions. As I’m currently in training, this is a special offer of £15 per session.
