Anne Tonks offers long and short term Counselling and Psychotherapy for individuals who are experiencing difficult periods or crises in their life and who want support to explore these issues, make some sense of them and develop new perspectives and directions.

Issues she works with include:
Anxiety and Panic Attacks; Depression; Abuse and Trauma experienced in childhood and / or adulthood; Relationship and Intimacy difficulties; Loss and Bereavement; Identity issues – who am I?; Loss of Meaning and Purpose in life; Self-confidence and Self-esteem issues; Stress.

Anne aims to provide a supportive and confidential space in which a trusting relationship can develop and explore the issues, discover the person’s own inner resources and new ways of being. It is widely recognised that the therapeutic relationship is important in facilitating the process of healing and growth.

She uses a relational and integrative approach which incorporates several psychological theories including Psychodynamic Theory, Psychosynthesis and Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT).
Psychodynamic Theory is concerned with issues that have developed in childhood and still affect us today.
Psychosynthesis considers the whole person: body, feelings, mind, sexuality and spirituality. It is concerned with our relationship to ourselves and others, periods of transition in our lives, personal goals and aspirations.
AIT is a gentle, wholistic and effective trauma treatment or energy treatment which promotes psychological, physical and spiritual healing. It treats not just the symptoms but the originating causes of present day difficulties (www.ait-uk-europe.com).

Anne studied Psychology at degree level and applied it to my work as a Social Worker for many years prior to training as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist. She attained her Diploma in Counselling from the Institute of Psychosynthesis in 2005 and her MA in Psychotherapy from the Psychosynthesis Education Trust, accredited by the University of East London in 2014.Having practiced at Keats since 2002.

Counselling

As a person-centred counsellor, her aim is to provide a genuine, caring service in the knowledge of how daunting but powerful counselling can be. We all have our own journey in life to navigate and she truly understands the need for a confidential, empathic, non-judgmental listener in those challenging times. As an experienced speech and language therapist in learning difficulties and complex needs, she's able to break down barriers in communication to enable everybody to find a way to express themselves whatever their level of ability in life.

Take things at your own pace. Start to find your own solutions
We all have our past experiences. Of course, we need to examine the past but it is equally important to deal with the ‘here and now’ when we are feeling concerned, anxious, stressed or sad. She became a person centred counsellor because on her own personal counselling journey, Edna often wanted to be listened to about what was going in the present instead of a pressure to default analyse the past right away. We are all at different stages of our journeys and she respects that.
You choose the pace and depth you want to take and Edna will facilitate you.

Jazmin is a qualified massage therapist and member of MTI (Massage Training Institute). She first became interested in massage when she discovered its wide ranging benefits after sustaining an injury as a recreational runner while training for a half marathon. Ever since, her interest in pain relief and relaxation has grown steadily. Currently training on sports massage and remedial soft tissue therapy, Jazmin has an integrative approach mixing different techniques for maximum effect to address clients needs.

The therapeutic benefits of massage have been used for centuries to help address imbalances in the body and  support wellbeing. It can help to relax the muscles, release tension and re set the mind.

TREATMENTS AVAILABLE:

Deep tissue massage

Working on deeper muscle layers can help release patterns of tension. Deep tissue massage helps to loosen up the tissue relieving aches and pains and encouraging deep relaxation. People often complain of tender spots or ‘knots’ which can be targeted with deep tissue techniques.

Myofascial release 

Myofascial release can help release restrictions within the connective tissue (or fascia), thus enabling stuck, stiffened and dehydrated areas to become soft and flexible again. It can help to increase mobilisation and decrease stiffness that may result from chronic conditions or injury. 

Holistic massage

It entails a variety of techniques to soothe muscles and promote relaxation. With gentle and long strokes in the direction of the heart, holistic massage stimulates circulation and flush of metabolic waste. It provides a general sense of wellbeing and can help relieve stress and fatigue. For information on payments please visit Fees page.
