Soulworks Essential Therapies

Holistic Counselling For Adults and Children

Incorporating an integrative approach to counselling, we journey alongside our clients to explore and discover aspects of their multidimensional self and human experience. We do not see clients as damaged or needing to be 'rescued'.  Instead, the focus is on uncovering, acknowledging, healing and aligning to their true soul aspects - to live a balanced and meaningful life.

Holistic Counselling is effective in treating and supporting a number of life challenges. This is done in a safe and supportive environment.

Reiki Healing

Reiki is an ancient complementary healing therapy that brings alignment, balance, health and wellbeing to the mind and body. Designed to reduce stress, promote relaxation and activate the natural healing processes of the body, it restores physical, emotional and mental well-being from the inside out.

Psychotherapeutic Reiki

This technique is used to treat psychological, emotional, and behavioural problems. It blends Reiki and counselling to release any negative effects of traumatic experiences or conditions in peoples' lives. This works by identifying blocks, patterns, and beliefs with traditional psychotherapy, followed by utilising Reiki to process, heal and move forward. As new realisations arise for the client, they are discussed and worked through.

Reiki Training & Workshops 

Anyone can learn Reiki to empower their own healing or use it on family, friends and pets. All levels of Reiki are taught using the traditional Japanese Usui Shiki Rhoyo method. The training sessions are small, fun and content easy to learn. An apprenticeship style model is offered at no extra cost to ensure you are supported throughout your development.
