In Touch Therapies

Based in Carrbrook, Stalybridge, Tameside Gt. Manchester, I am a professional Counsellor, Hypnotherapist and Indian Head Massage Practitioner providing a personal, quality service.
My background is working in the National Health Service within Pathology for which I have worked for the past 20 + years. In addition, I have worked in the voluntary sector, most recently employed by a local organisation offering support to individuals and families suffering from drug and alcohol abuse. Through the use of brief intervention I have been able to help individuals with issues such as Mental Health, Self harm and Depression.
I am a member of the National Counselling Society, National Hypnotherapy Society and qualified in Indian Head Massage in 2007 at the British School of Yoga. 
Therapies are provided at a time to suit you in my therapy room or at your own home address by prior arrangement.
