Bright Future Remedies is a small business offering Counselling /Psychotherapy, Coaching, Bowen Technique, Clinical Supervision for groups and individuals.

Life can be wonderful but the polarity of this is life can become difficult /hard to cope with for many different reasons; I believe that polarities are part of life, people suffer with problems relating to their emotional well-being, mental health, relationship difficulties, work /life balance, family difficulties; loss /bereavement; work related stress; bullying; post-traumatic stress; lack of confidence /self-esteem; depression; addictions; abuse; eating disorders; phobias and much more.
As a BACP Accredited Humanistic Counsellor /Psychotherapist I work with adults and children to help them express themselves by exploring thoughts and feelings in order to achieve positive change in their lives, leading them to a brighter /happier future. I am an Integrative Therapist using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT); Transactional Analysis (TA); Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP); Person Centred Therapy; Solution Focussed Therapy; Family Therapy; Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. I believe that the counselling relationship is of prime importance when helping people to look at themselves and their lives. Amongst using many creative methods in my work, I am qualified and specialise in the use of Humanistic Sandplay Therapy which facilitates exploration, expression, awareness and discovery and is beneficial for clients (adults and children) who become stuck, unable to express pain in words, or are unable to understand their own process. As a BACP Registered Member I am bound by the Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am committed to CPD to enhance and inform my practice. I hold an Enhanced CRB Disclosure.

As well as Counselling I use and integrate Coaching into my practice. Coaching is different to Counselling in that it focuses on the future instead of concentrating of people's problems. Coaching is goal orientated. I specialise in Relationship Coaching to support individuals, couples, families, managers / executives colleagues, employees develop and learn in ways that enable them to achieve what they really want in their lives, be it personal or work life. I am also a Youth Impact Coach coaching young people to a bright future.

I am also a qualified Bowen Technique Practitioner. The Bowen Technique is primarily a remedial therapy tool. It differs from many other forms of therapy in that it does not attempt to inflict the will of the therapist or a specific outcome onto the client. Instead it offers the body an opportunity to restore structural integrity. Bowen Therapy can help many situations, such as Back pain /sciatic presentations; shoulder /neck presentations e. g. frozen shoulder; hamstring /knee / ankle pain /injury; sports injuries /performance; stress /depression; Lymphatic drainage; MS (pain relief); ME /Fibromyalgia /Glandular Fever; cancer (relief of pain and stress); bed wetting. I liken The Bowen Technique to the concept of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, in that it changes the way the body thinks, which changes how it feels, then changes how it behaves. If The Bowen Technique is the right therapy for you, you will notice any body pain diminish or reduce with in 1-3 sessions.

If you want /need to change your direction in life, require a bright future, choose your approach and try something different.
