What is Reiki?
Reiki is a holistic complementary therapy and Japanese energy practice that can be received in person or through distant healing. Japanese energy healing practice. The word “Reiki” comes from the Japanese words rei (universal) and ki (life energy) referring to the natural energy believed to flow through all living beings.
Reiki is a gently energy healing practice that supports relaxation, emotional wellbeing, stress relief and inner balance. Horses energy field is much larger that us humans and they have an incredible natural ability to co-regulate our human feelings and relax the nervous system. Because equines are highly empathetic, they support a space of peace and open-hearted compassion, which can help humans to relax.
Arranging your session
Prior to your session, I will contact you to arrange a convenient time and you will receive a joining link in advance via email.
During a reiki and self-compassion healing session you can expect: (90mins)
Beginning - A friendly and welcoming space to learn about what Reiki is and is not. Together, we will explore where you get stuck when it comes to self-compassion.
Middle - I will take you through a guided self-compassion meditation practice designed to your unique personal experience while spending time standing with the horse or pony chosen for your session. This will help you to maximise your ability to stay open and receive the Reiki healing.
Using Reiki practices, I will encourage the flow of energy and support the body’s natural ability to restore. You will either sit or lay down in a comfortable position. The horse or pony present will remain in its tied position.
End - we will take time to feedback and plan together how you can build on your experience going forward. You will learn about the inner qualities of compassion and identify the areas you wish to more intentionally practice in your daily life. You will be emailed a copy of the inner qualities of compassion handout for continued ease and practice.

I’ve also worked as senior lecturer, postgraduate Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) programme lead, and clinical supervisor at Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia.

I help with common mental health issues using proven methods recommended by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE). Research shows that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works best for conditions like depression, body image issues, general anxiety, health anxiety, long-term health problems affecting mental health, OCD, panic disorder, PTSD, social anxiety, and specific phobias.
CBT helps you to understand your main problems by looking at beliefs and habits you've learned over time. For example, you might think, "People won't like me unless I'm perfect," or "People can't be trusted." These beliefs stay quiet until something triggers them, like failing goals, relationship issues, or health problems. Then, they cause negative thoughts and behaviours, making you feel anxious or depressed. CBT focuses on these current thoughts and actions that keep your problems going. Using compassion-focused techniques and imagery rescripting, we can update negative memories without focusing too much on the past. CBT is practical and goal-focused.
Depending on the primary problem, I integrate advanced CBT approaches as relevant including Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Functional Analytical Psychotherapy (FAP), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, and Mindfulness. I am a member of the Association for Contextual & Behavioural Sciences.

What To Expect:
Initial Assessment Session - Explore the main things you want help with, if CBT would be helpful and what treatment looks like.
Treatment Sessions - At the start, we focus on training your mind and heart to become more aware. You’ll begin practicing skills and see how CBT fits your experience. In the middle phase, you’ll notice positive changes as we work through exercises during and between sessions, including homework. In the final phase, you’ll take more control, using what you've learned to guide your own healing. We prepare for setbacks, plan follow-up sessions, and support your continued growth. Progress is tracked with goals and questionnaires throughout.
Number of sessions: This can vary from one to twenty. It totally depends on what you want to work on. There are often in between session emails to follow up on tasks and support as required.
Cost: £90 per 1hr session. I offer a free 15mins consultation chat to ensure we are a good fit. Please book this via the shopping cart.
