Judy Sinclair's Conscious Health

I like to take each person as an individual, and work with them to help them achieve their potential. I utilise a variety of therapeutic approaches, and draw on the knowledge and experience I have accumulated over the years. I use creative activities, play and art therapy, as well as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, EMDR, Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy.
