Wellbeing Services

Kirsty offers pain management, holistic and massage therapies. This draws from her 30+ years' career in a range of medical and clinical settings within the NHS, including as a specialist pain nurse for 11 years.

If you struggle with post-operative pain or more chronic pain, Kirsty could assess your suitability for trigger-point therapy, which is a non invasive therapy that targets pain regions in the body. Trigger-point therapy can also be used to reduce pain as a result of physical stress caused by activities such as hiking, walking, running, cycling and fishing. 

Kirsty is also a great enthusiast of foraging and using local plants for natural medicinal purposes - drawing from the knowledge of our ancestors. Subject to availability, you're welcome to join her on a local hunt!

Rick offers wellbeing audits, therapeutic coaching and career mentoring.

Wellbeing audits help to explore what's working well in your wellbeing world and do more of that, or identifies where improvements can be made and what can be done. 

Therapeutic coaching works across the counselling and coaching spectrum, depending on what's likely to help you most. A client recently reflected on their experience of therapeutic coaching with Rick and said, 'it's like riding a horse... counselling helped me get back on the saddle, and then with renewed confidence and direction, the coaching element inspired me to take control of the reins and ride out into the sunset'.

Career mentoring provides support to help you assess your current work situation. If you want to make some career changes or need some direction or encouragement, the mentoring offers a sounding board and, where appropriate, guidance, advice and inspiration.
