COMMON QUERIES

All the Answers You Seek, In One Place

Have a question you’d like to ask? I’m committed to giving patients the best care and experience I can. There’s no such thing as a bad question when it comes to mental health. Check out the answers to the FAQs below, and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any additional questions.

HOW MANY SESSIONS AND HOW LONG ARE THEY

The first session normally takes one and a half hours, the following normally one hour. As regards how many sessions, that does depend on the therapy. With Havening I now only work with people who committee to three sessions.

Reflexology.

A once of session is so incredible relaxing and a treat, but generally people committee to four sessions and then once a month. But that is totally up to you.

EFT tapping, one session is very effective but I recommend two or three.

WHAT ARE YOUR COST?

Someone once asked me what market are you after? The Ferrari or the practical family car? My belief is why not anyone who needs my support and help? Why can I not cater for the poor in desperate need and those who can easily afford it? Therefore I have a sliding scale and you decide in an honest way what you can afford to pay me. Call or email me to find out where you fit in.

HOW ARE YOUR RESULTS SO RAPID?

Having discovered Havening, that method along with my 20 years experience allows me to select what I believe are profoundly effective and rapid tools to release trauma. Havening is based in evolutionary biology and offers you the opportunity to live a healthier, hopefully happier and more productive life. To Western eyes, to watch pain instantly disappear, long standing problems resolve and disturbing memories fade into the irretrievable past is nothing short of astonishing.
We call this method Havening. Havening, the transitive verb of the word haven, means to put into a safe place. While some forms of this approach have been around for decades, many mental health professionals remain skeptical given that it involves no medication, talking or prolonged exposure.

Havening has the unique ability to be just an effective online as it is in person. If you are feeling stressed or have particular issues you would additional support with remember that our global community of practitioners are available - just one wi fi or cellular connection away.
