"My psychotherapy sessions with Ben have transformed my life.

I’ve been aware for a number of years that I was struggling to break the cycles of some unhelpful behaviour patterns, leaving me with an underlying unhappiness.

I’ve had counselling sessions before with a few different therapists, and these had their place in helping me. However after a while I was still feeling stuck and couldn’t seem to achieve the fundamental shift I needed to really progress to a different place within myself.

My sessions with Ben have changed that. He has taught me to approach things very differently. I found this hard at first and have felt vulnerable - Ben has made me feel truly supported and, crucially, safe throughout.

This meant I was able to open myself up to the things I really needed to talk about (instead of avoiding them!) I’m also finally learning how to treat myself with compassion and kindness - which I now appreciate fully the impact and importance of for myself and for the other people I love.

Less than 6 months after my first psychotherapy session, life is as challenging as it always was, but I now have the power to respond very differently, and this is more rewarding than I can say."

Long Covid / Post Viral Fatigue?

Here's a summary of a lovely testimonial from a recent patient helped back to health carefully with thoughtful, compassionate inquiry focusing on her body's experience of the stress and emotional story of her life in recent and past times and how unchecked and unseen it had depleted her natural resources for self recovery.

Osteopathy and Psychotherapy working beautifully in harmony towards a fully supported return to your birth right of health.

Are you or friends suffering from chronic pains/fatigue/mood or just not feeling yourself, DM me for details on how I can help?

In peace, Ben x

Strong Back, Soft Front 🤍
Did you know that Ben, alongside being a practising Osteopath for over 20 years, is also a certified Psychotherapist, trained with Dr Gabor Maté and in EMDR for trauma resolution?

There is no separation between mind and body — they work as one whole. We often focus on building strong bodies, but how often do we offer the same care to our hearts and minds?

As we move into the new year, this feels like a gentle invitation to notice both:
strength in our backs and boundaries,
and softness, curiosity and compassion within.

Perhaps we can check in with ourselves a little more often —
and begin with the simple practice of the 3 S’s:
Slow down / Sense / Soften

Appointments available in person or online.

Standards!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 As many of you know, I tend to start my work at my patients feet, I'd assume that a careful choice of socks ahead of your osteopathy appointment for a patient I've had the pleasure of knowing for years would be in order, not today!!! Love it, thank you for the giggles. Bx

Your spine supports everything you do, from standing tall to simply breathing and moving with ease, yet it’s easy to take it for granted until pain or stiffness sets in.
This year’s theme is all about movement and awareness, because even small daily habits make a big difference for spinal health:
✨ Move regularly
✨ Sit tall and change positions often
✨ Stretch gently throughout the day
✨ Keep your spine strong with good posture and balance
Osteopathy helps keep your spine mobile, aligned, and supported so you can move comfortably every day.
Take a moment today to thank your spine and give it the care it deserves by clicking our link in bio and getting booked in!

Just 4 questions to ask yourself!

Feelings are information, when you feel uncomfortable and driven to behaviour that doesn't serve you well to cope/adapt/block out what ever it is your feelings, try asking yourself:

1) What am I ANGRY about?
2) What am I SAD about?
3) What am I Fearful of?
4) What am I ignoring in my life that I need to pay attention to?

Your body is not some run away train thats carelessly crashing around and giving us pain.

You have ownership of an intensely intelligent machine whose soul job is to carry us through and protect us.

Instead of cursing our bodies when they cry out in pain, fatigue or feelings, perhaps ask your body, what is it you need, what do I need to know or understand, where can I help you take the load?

I promise it will give you dividends, working compassionately with you, instead of against will bring rewards of health.

Are you in Chronic PAIN?

The question is simple, but all too often over looked, whats happened to you....in the lead up, during and post the onset of your symptoms, is more important that whats wrong with you?

Osteopathically speaking, we're always looking for the "Cause", and often its not what or where the current medical paradigm tells you to look.

If you want a wider, deeper and compassionate view on your long term symptoms, then we need to speak, please get in touch.

Best, Ben
