My name is Gillian and I am a qualified Shamanic Practitioner/Counsellor, Reiki Master & Teacher and Holistic Massage Therapist (so far). I started my journey 6 years ago when I was crippled with health anxiety. I knew I had to get to the root of where this was stemming from. The road eventually led me to taking a deep dive into my own past pains and traumas. I had to go within to look at everything that was pushed so deep inside of me, allow it space to breathe and acknowledge all that was, so I could eventually process it and allow it to be released. It has been, and still is at times, quite tough but it has also been the most liberating journey too. It has made me look at how I show up in the world, in many aspects of my life, so I can be the best and most authentic version of myself going forward. I have learned many tools to use in helping myself and created space for me to be able to help others on their journey too. I can only pass on the knowledge and wisdom I have gained along the way but I know how powerful those tools have been for me, which is why I'm so passionate about the work I do. Life experience will always be our best teachers and we will always be our own best healer. I simply provide a safe space for you to be able to do that. Thank you for taking the time to read my article today. With Love ❤️ If you would like to explore this beautiful and powerful healing modality more you can reach me on: Email: themedicinemum@outlook.com Instagram.

I am originally from the ‘Beautiful Rainbow Nation’ - Southern Africa. I have lived in Ireland for over 30 years in a very special place of great beauty and more importantly the local people that have supported and inspired me through this wonderful holistic journey. This place I call home - Killeshandra, Co Cavan - a countryside village surrounded by beautiful lakes, famous for its friendly people, great fishing, the amazing Killykeen Forest Park and of course music. Since a very early age, I always had a unique interest in Complementary Medicine / Holistic Therapies. So I decided to follow my dream, as it is something I truly love & believe in. Nestled in the heart of Killeshandra, is my Holistic Studio based in the Focus Resource Centre. I pursued a career in Holistic Therapies, which cover an array of subjects from Holistic Massage, Holistic Facials, Indian Head Massage, Reflexology, Thai Chi Foot Massage, Crystal Healing & Reiki.

I am Karen Bresloff, a UKCP Registered Psychotherapist, certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and Sound Therapist with over 22 years of experience in private practice and the public sector. I have worked as an Organisational Psychotherapist for Transport for London and served as Clinical Lead at Khiron Clinic, specialising in trauma recovery. I offer therapy without borders, providing trauma recovery and ‘Coaching for Life’ sessions online for clients in the UK and internationally. My personal journey has deeply shaped my work. Growing up in a military family, I moved between the UK, Europe, and West Africa, experiencing anxiety, loss, and the challenges of constant change. A near-drowning incident at age two and personal family trauma shaped my sensitivity and empathy, which later became my greatest strengths. After an early career in marketing, I turned to psychotherapy following my own struggles with anxiety and a transformative period of personal growth. I trained at the Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education (IATE) and The Minster Centre, qualifying as an Integrative Psychotherapist in 2005. For me, being a psychotherapist is not just a profession but a life in service. I continue to learn every day and am honoured to support others on their healing journeys, drawing on my global experiences, deep compassion, and commitment to lifelong growth.

My name is Corinne and I am an accredited Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Trainer and Practitioner. Six years ago I was not in a good place. I was stressed working in management, I was caught up in my head, I was anxious and I had no joy and little hope. I knew that I needed to find a way forward and so I undertook a lot of work on myself and discovered Mindfulness quite by accident. I am confident that Mindfulness contributed a great deal to me regaining my balance, and thanks to it I have found endless reserves of gratitude and contentment. I lost my job during covid’s first wave and saw it as an opportunity to get my accreditation in order to share this wonderful practice with others. When something good happens to me, I want to spread it, and I know that sharing happiness begets happiness. Sharing joy begets joy. Sharing love begets love. And sharing gratitude begets gratitude. I work online offering MBCT courses to adults on a group or one to one basis, and in winter I also organise guided Mindful Walks in the countryside. Teaching has been the calling of my soul since I was 18, and I feel privileged to share this wondrous practice that I am so passionate about with others. I am from Malta, a tiny island in the Med. I love the sea, reading, and spending time with my partner, my niece and nephew, and my 2 cats. Facebook: @RestinginAwareness

My name is Amritani Katarzyna Zuchniewicz and I am a qualified Psychosynthesis Counsellor with a background in psychology and Yoga philosophy. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the Association for Psychospiritual Practitioners (APP). I am therefore bound by their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy and I am a subject to the Professional Conduct Procedure. I am a counsellor in private practice, currently based in Spain. My professional experience in a helping field started in 2008 when, having been helped by my first, great Yoga teacher who introduced me to meditation practices in very difficult times of my life, I felt inspired to give something back to the community and began working with vulnerable individuals. Since then, I have continued both this type of work and my Yoga practice, whilst developing educationally, personally and professionally. I began to provide a counselling service in 2019 and soon realised how I felt in my element doing it. Throughout my professional life, I have worked within various roles and have been influenced by integrative, Person-Centred, transpersonal, humanistic, CBT, ACT, motivational interviewing as well as Yoga and art therapy approaches, and I draw from these approaches in my practice. I have worked with individuals experiencing mental health problems including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and all forms of abuse, addictions, traumas, lack of self-esteem/sense of self, poor coping skills, emotional dysregulation, loss, crime issues, cognitive impairment, stress, relationship issues, identity crisis, existential dilemmas, search for deeper values and more.
