Did you know that stress is now the number one reason for time lost from work?  Progress has brought about huge changes in our lifestyles, living and working conditions. We work hard, play hard and live longer.

Although we all need a certain amount of stress, when it becomes more than we feel we can cope with, then our health is affected.

This can lead to a huge range of physical, mental and emotional symptoms, which in themselves can be frightening and cause more stress.

Acupuncture is useful to alleviate the symptoms of stress and help you to feel better. When combined with counselling and teaching you tools to help yourself, it can really turn things around for you, so that you can lead a healthy and active life and attain a balance between work, rest and play.

Each treatment session will combine "talk time" and "therapy time". Each session is flexible and tailored to meet your needs.

Your sessions may cover any or all of the following:

The Power of Relaxation & Meditation
Daily practise of relaxation and meditation techniques can bring many benefits to your health. Research has shown that it can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, improve brain function, help your body to fight ill-health and keep you mentally and spiritually strong and healthy.

Many people think they can't relax or that meditation is only for yogi gurus. I can help you to achieve a relaxed state in your body and mind by teaching you easy techniques which you can replicate at home.
Daily practise for as little as 10 minutes can bring huge rewards to your health.

You Are What You Think!
Did you know that every thought, every second of the day affects the way your body works and the way you feel?
You can learn how to think your way to health and happiness, by using the power of your mind to work for you instead of against you.

If you are a habitual worrier, or if you feel that your thinking could be improved, I can help you to be in control of your thoughts and your life!

Self confidence and Self Belief
You can be helped to look at negative beliefs and the impact they may have on the way you live your life and relate to others around you. Negative beliefs can be re-programmed into supportive, positive beliefs which can then take you forward in a positive and constructive way.

Fears and Phobias
Many people develop fears and phobias which they know are not helping them, but they don't know how to get rid of them. Using simple "re-programming" techniques, I can help you to overcome fear so that it becomes a thing of the past. Fear of flying, public speaking, exam stress and fear of spiders are just a few of the phobias which can be relieved.

Although sessions are tailored to meet your own individual needs, you might expect to learn about any or all of the following topics:-

Stress is a fact of life for most of us, you can learn how to manage it effectively and use stress positively in your life! Please note that your current lifestyle and beliefs may be challenged! Be prepared to do "homework" and to work on yourself, in order to get the most out of these sessions.

Here is what other people have said about Stress Solutions sessions:

“Over the counselling period you helped me with giving up smoking, self esteem issues, lack of confidence issues and relaxation techniques. What I was particularly impressed with, was the way you tailored the sessions to my individual needs at the time.

I am now feeling much better about myself and my ability to prevent any further relapses. In addition I have started a programme to reduce the amount of medication that I take.  I now feel that my full range of emotions has returned and given me the opportunity to experience joy and happiness again.”  T.B. of Bedworth

“You have made me really think about my life and my priorities and helped me to see how I created the stress and the symptoms I had. I’ve stopped putting so much pressure on myself and actually find I am more productive and enjoy my work much more. 

My family have also noticed the changes and that I am far more relaxed and easy to be with.  With your advice about my diet and eating patterns I have more energy and feel better in myself.  Benefits all round!”
M.S. of Coventry
