A warm, inclusive, and trauma-informed space where adults can feel safe to explore whatever brings them to therapy. Whether you’re navigating a specific challenge, processing overwhelming emotions, or seeking space to reflect, I’m here to meet you with empathy and without judgment.

It’s important to me that you feel heard and understood as a whole person, with your own unique experiences and perspective. Clients often share that they feel more at ease than they expected, and that our sessions become something they look forward to, even when sharing difficult emotions.

I value all routes to therapy and bring a skilled, passionate approach to working with those who already appreciate the therapeutic process, as well as those who may feel unsure or have been disheartened by previous experiences. Sessions are shaped to support each client’s preferred way of engaging — whether through open dialogue, visual metaphor, creative expression, or more actionable tasks. However you choose to work, I’ll work to meet you where you are, step by step.

If this feels like an encouraging way forward, please know you can connect with me by email or phone, and you’re welcome to book a free 30-minute consultation. It’s a chance for us to meet, ask questions, and explore what you might need — with no expectations regarding booking, duration, or frequency of sessions. We’ll figure that out together.

Concessions and grants are available, please feel free to get in touch for current availability.

Psychosynthesis is a psychospiritual modality of counselling, meaning that sessions attend to your emotions, thoughts and mental processes as well as offering space to explore more existential matters that relate to spirituality and soul. It has its roots in psychoanalysis, humanistic and transpersonal psychology, blending together Eastern and Western philosophies.

I originally trained in Usui Reiki in 2008.

A couple of years later I was introduced and experienced an Angelic Reiki energy healing session.

Angelic Reiki works with the highest energies of the Angelic Realm to bring about healing and balance to those receiving the healing reiki energy, which is powerful yet gentle. I am a channel for the Angels, I will place my hands on your shoulders and connect. This healing energy will take place where it is most needed –this can be physical, emotional, psychological and or spiritual. After the session you will feel bathed in bliss!

Working with various healing techniques for over 20 years, I have found the gentle approach of CranioSacral therapy (CST) to be profoundly beneficial in helping to relieve many physical
and emotional ailments.

I first discovered CST in 2008. My son had been experiencing two years of recurring tonsillitis for which the prescribed medication had little to no affect. A friend suggested he try CST.
After just two treatments he has not suffered with tonsillitis since. I was so impressed with the results that I decided to train in CST myself.

CST can improve the quality of life for people suffering from a wide range of symptoms associated with:

Headaches and migraines

Neck and back pain

Stress and tension related disorders

Chronic fatigue

Fibromyalgia

PTSD

Depression and anxiety

Autism

Depression and anxiety

Testimonials:
“I came to see Gabrielle twice for different problems. The first time was for severe
osteoarthritis pain in my hips. The session helped me to relax my body, which was
completely knotted up in order to cope with the pain. The session helped me to recover, to
get a better quality of sleep and, above all, enormously relieved my pain.
The second time was because I was extremely tired and couldn’t get my energy back (I felt
like I was 10 years older). The session made me realise just how tense my body was, released
blocked emotions and gave my body a new and incredible sense of verticality. I left feeling
relaxed, with renewed energy and a wonderful sense of unity and joy (and 10 years
younger!)” Cybelle C.

“Gabrielle inspires complete trust and this helped me to feel completely at ease and receive
all the benefits of the treatment. I had never experienced CranialSacral therapy before but it
is so relaxing and the effects are long lasting and long reaching. I can highly recommend this
treatment and this very intuitive therapist, she’s amazing.” Julia K.

Acupuncture utilises tiny needles to influence the body’s natural ability to heal. It taps in to the body’s intrinsic intelligent energy, known in Chinese as Qi. By using a knowledge of the channel system within the body (the fascial planes laid down as the embryo develops in the womb), the style of acupuncture practiced will help to remove pathogenic energy, strengthen the entire organ system and give the body time and space to heal.  This form of acupuncture has been taught for 2000 years, and has been re-introduced more recently by Dr Wang Ju-Yi and his students.

Qi (think of it as electrical energy) is in every cell of your body, it is organised and alive.  Like any electrical thing (think of your computer!), it can go wrong, flow the wrong way, become static or be too much or too little.  This is the start of the disease process, and this is what acupuncture aims to help, promoting wellness and good health.

I have a Diploma in Acupuncture from the Scientific School of Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture (SSOMA) in Tunbridge Wells. The Dean (and my teacher) is Dr Dan Keown, formerly a doctor in Emergency Medicine, and author of the Amazon Bestseller Spark in the Machine as well as The Uncharted Body. The training blended the most up to date thinking of both Chinese Medicine and Western Science. If you want to find out more about acupuncture The Spark in The Machine is a great place to start.

I have a 25 year background within the NHS, working as a HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist specialising in blood sciences.  I then worked more clinically as a Lead Transfusion Practitioner, and as a Service Manager for Theatres and Recovery.  Due to ill health, I could no longer remain in this role and decided to study both Chinese Medicine and the Feldenkrais Method as they were both integral to my healing.

I am in my third year of studying the Feldenkrais Method.  I found this to be an invaluable tool in my healing.  The Method teaches you through movement awareness what your habits are, and to let go of excess effort.  It gives you a range of movement options so that you can move efficiently and effectively.  It helps you to eliminate movement that is not helpful to your way of being.  It helps you connect deeply with yourself to enable you to move through life more easily.

I am committed to a more sustainable way of living – I aim to help you live more sustainably – by cherishing your greatest asset – yourself.  I believe that you need to take care of yourself and learn yourself to heal and thrive.
