I have been studying and practising aromatherapy for over 20 years. I trained as an aromatherapist with the International Federation of Aromatherapies and have been a council member for them. I have written various articles for papers and have contributed to a book on pregnancy. Since then, I have continued my studies, Reflexology with the British Reflexology Association, Reiki (I hold a level II certificate), Thai Massage, Indian Head Massage and Kinesiology in which I have a diploma of Systematic Kinesiology. I am also one of the Three Wise Women www.thethreewisewomen.com an on-line programme for women in their 40s and 50s I really enjoy my work and also the teaching of baby massage and giving talks which bring news of aromatherapy and self help to as wide an audience as possible. I live with my husband and step son in London and Hastings. I enjoy travelling, swimming, visiting small theatres and cooking. To find out how to book an appointment visit our Practicalities page. If you are interested in having me come and give a talk to your group or setting up a baby massage group please call me direct on 07958 48 20 89.
I have been practising Homeopathy in Peckham since 1999. I also worked at the South London Natural Health Centre in Clapham for 6 years. I believe in a practical approach to understanding and solving health problems. I practise Homeopathy including the use of herbal tinctures and Flower Essences. Supporting and respecting the individual's choices about their health is an important part of my role. I'm still learning , of course, - that's why it's called a ‘practice'. Much of my work involves the treatment of babies and young children with recurring acute infections, allergies, asthma and eczema, as well as sleeping problems, and behavioural or learning difficulties. I also treat a lot of mothers and fathers who may be struggling with the challenges of parenthood and the resulting physical and emotional stress. I have 3 children myself, so hope I can relate to some of these issues sensitively. Other very common health problems about which I am frequently consulted are menopausal symptoms, menstrual problems, digestive difficulties, depression and chronic fatigue. I run a Drop In Clinic four days a week (Tuesday to Thursday between 1 and 2pm) which is for people who just want a quick consultation. I also run workshops on Basic Homeopathy for parents so they can treat their families and themselves and also Using Homeopathy for Childbirth which is aimed at pregnant women and their partners. Julia is available on Tues 10am - 3pm, Wed 3pm - 8pm, Thurs 9am - 3pm, Fri 10am - 1pm, and DROP IN CLINIC 1-2pm Tues, Weds, Thurs.

Dave Newman (D.Hyp), BSCH Assoc I came to Hypnotherapy after being impressed by its positive results on people that I knew directly. Once I started investigating how Hypnosis works I soon realized that all the preconceptions were pretty much irrelevant. The words Hypnosis and Trance tend to invoke images that are derived from old Hollywood films and men with pointy beards, cloaks and fob watches. ‘Victims' completely under the control of their masters. Or more recently, stage shows where people are hypnotised and will do ridiculous acts for the amusement of an audience. The first thing I learned was that the person being hypnotised remains completely in control and aware of what is going on around them. The experience of being in a trance is akin to being in a meditative state. It can be a deeply relaxing and enjoyable experience that is extremely beneficial on its own. How often do we take the time to truly relax during our busy lives? Clinical hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to treat a variety of medical and psychological problems. It does not usually deal problems that have an organic origin but those that are due to emotional and psychological sources. It is estimated that 85% of people will readily and positively respond to clinical hypnotherapy, it may well succeed where other more conventional methods of treatment have been slow or unsuccessful at producing the desired results. It is recognised that hypnotherapy can be of benefit for the following: Stopping smoking, Nail biting, Weight control, Healthy eating, Sporting performance, Exam nerves, Improved learning, Performance anxiety, Memory and concentration, Phobias, Self confidence, Emotional problems, Sleep problems, Compulsion and compulsive behaviour, Inhibitions, Pain control, Child birth, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Skin Problems, Anxiety and stress, Panic attacks, Bed wetting, Dental phobias and many more…. The first session is an introduction to hypnotherapy and an assessment of the presenting situation or condition. It will last for about 1hour 15mins. Subsequent sessions are 1hour, with the exception of the Stop Smoking session that can last for up to 2hours. As a qualified clinical hypnotherapist I am committed to the promotion of good health and well-being of patients. I am also fully committed to following the ethical guidelines of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis. Please do not hesitate in contacting me if you have any questions about hypnotherapy. For more information and charges please contact Bellenden Therapy Rooms on 020 7732 1417 or email bellendentherapies@yahoo.co.uk Traditional Thai Massage (TTM), is something everyone should try. Thanks to Neil Waugh you can experience this truly holistic therapy in SE15, at Bellenden Therapy Rooms.
The entire body, staring at the feet and ending at the head is treated. Acupressure along sen lines (or meridians) is combined with yoga style stretches and breathing exercises. Specific areas of tension (for example shoulders or lower back) can be focused on by the masseur. The aim of the massage is to re-balance the body and mind. This enables energy to flow uninterrupted round the body, leaving you feeling deeply relaxed yet fully energised. The entire massage lasts between 1 ½ to 2 hours. As it performed fully clothed please make sure you wear loose clothing (T-shirt and tracksuit trousers are ideal). The massage is performed on a mat on the floor and the masseur uses hands, feet, elbows and knees to work on areas of tension. Normal cost is £70 but for a special introductory rate (until 1 st June 2007) Neil is offering you the chance to try this wonderful therapy for £45 for 90 minutes. A wonderful treat for yourself or someone you know. Call the Bellenden Therapy rooms on 020 7732 1417 where Neil is available Thursdays 4 – 9pm and Saturdays and Sundays by arrangement. To contact Neil directly call 07831 833 517 or email neilhwaugh@aol.com. Derek Mason - MBACP Accred. / UKRC Reg. Counsellor, Dip. Counselling (1995), BA Hons., Cert. Life Coaching (2005), Cert. Supervision (2006) My approach to counselling is humanistic, which assumes the capacity of the individual to shape her or his own life. I work integratively, drawing on CBT for instance, so that I can work most effectively with each 'client'.

Other than my local private practice, most of my current work is with organisations, including workplace counselling, mediation, group facilitation and post-trauma work.

All my treatments may be taken as a single therapy or combined in any way you wish, with consultation from me to guide you. Millie Wood Swanepoel - Craniosacral therapy and Reiki Using gentle touch, Craniosacral Therapy is a non-manipulative, non-invasive treatment option, complimentary to medical practise. I was inspired by this gentle approach to supporting people in their journey to health. Working with the body's natural capacity for self-repair, to treat a wide variety of conditions. I have a particular interest in working with people who have experienced trauma, physical or stress related. I am interested in the well being of pregnant women, infants, children and birth trauma.. I am aware the fathers' experiences during the birth are often overlooked, they need to feel involved, part of the birth process and after care of the infant. By restoring imbalances before they become chronically anchored Craniosacral Therapy enhances healthy growth and future development. This paves the way for greater self-esteem and well being throughout later life. This treatment option is excellent for Adults, and complementary to medical practise. I am a full-insured member of the Craniosacral Therapy and Reiki Associations Visit my website for further information: www.milliewoodswanepoel.com |

I have been fascinated by complementary medicines ever since I was a child and made potions from flowers for my family. In later years a combination of various treatments cured a long standing problem of my own. 
Homeopathy is an enormously diverse and adaptable resource and I have gained experience of using it to treat a wide variety of health conditions. One of the things I think people value most about my practise is that it provides them with a space in which to discuss every aspect of their health both physical and emotional in an atmosphere of respect and support. 
I am an astrologer and massage therapist living and working in south London . I have studied at the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London , and with Deborah Houlding and am currently a student of Robert Zoller. 
I believe the mind and the body are so closely linked that whatever is done to one will have an effect on the other. Many of our body functions such as digestion, breathing and circulation may improve with Craniosacral Therapy. Mentally and physically you may feel sharper, more relaxed, vivacious and alert.
