Jing Shen Therapies

Counselling, Therapy, Qigong and Taiji with a Social Conscience and a Punk Rock Attitude: Community, Sustainability, Wellbeing, Growth

. Shen Jing Therapies aims to help you achieve wellbeing on all levels -
physical, mental, emotional, social\community and spiritual. We do this through talking therapy, bodywork, Taiji, Qigong, Mindfulness, encouraging community and environmental involvement and helping you find practical help if needed. Services are supportive and non-judgemental, giving control back to you. We actively oppose discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual orientation or identity, race, religious belief, ability or age. .
Taking that first step and looking for help can sometimes feel more daunting than our problems. We provide a supportive and non-judgemental, professional and confidential service, bound by the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, (BACP).
. We work within the core principles of Person Centred counselling:
• Unconditional positive regard and respect for you as a person; your rights and choices.
• Empathy, to see your experience and choices as you see them.
• Congruence and honest, to be open and straight with you.
We are all complex individuals: physical, emotional, thinking, sexual, social and spiritual; we are parents, children, friends, lovers, enemies, etc. Our problems can also take many forms. We will work with you to help you address whatever’s troubling you or causing you pain – we won’t tell you what to do, rather we will help you decide what you want, helping you look at troubling feelings, thoughts and habits and plan action to take to make changes. The work also focuses on what our body is telling us and our relationship to others and our local surroundings.
Taiji and Qigong are amazing practices for reducing stress, improving balance, releasing emotional tensions, strengthening the body, etc. They also draw on theories of Chinese medicine ad Meditation, however you do not need to adopt these to benefit. We offer small, friendly classes covering all aspects of the art: Qigong, Meditation and the long form – health, healing others and self-defence.
All services are on a suggested donation basis as ! don't want people not being able to access help due to financial difficulties, (services can also be provided on an exchange basis).
