Psychosomatic Illnesses

There is a growing body of research to show the link between physiological illness and the body/mind. The medical profession is slowly acknowledging the interconnections between the lives people lead and the reaction their bodies show. The body literarily embodies the mind and we can learn ways to become more aware of and use that connection better.

As an integrative psychotherapist I work closely with other health professionals to assist that process. It is of course necessary to have a sound medical diagnosis if a physical symptom is persistent. However it is, in my opinion, equally important to explore why this is happening at that particular time.

As part of my service I am connected to other health professionals I know and trust and who consider health in the same way I do, but can contribute their own specialist knowledge.
