Holistic Therapy

hey

There is nothing wrong with you. You are already whole, perfect and complete. There are just some little pebbles stopping the flow in your life.

‘Holistic’ comes from the Greek word holos, meaning ‘whole’. Rather than just addressing an immediate symptom, a holistic therapist will look for the underlying cause by considering current physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual states of health and wellbeing. They will then work to restore the body’s natural balance, leading to a more sustained and rewarding quality of life.

There is nothing wrong with you. You are already whole, perfect and complete. There are just some little pebbles stopping the flow in your life. Those pebbles are beliefs and behaviours that might have been true at some time in your life but are no longer true and are not working for you. It’s our job to figure out what they are, change them and get you unstuck.

A holistic therapist takes an interest in the whole you, mind, body and soul – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We take into account your diet, exercise, home life, career, sleep patterns, alcohol consumption and your emotional levels as well as your medical history. The purpose of any holistic treatment is to create balance and harmony in order to prevent illness or disease.

 

 

We take an integrative approach to healing the mind. We seek to heal by helping clients to break free from destructive behaviours and enjoy a new and improved state of mental, spiritual and physical health. We do not consider the client as damaged and in need of repair; we instead focus on helping the client release the spiritual perfection which lies within.

A holistic therapist will encourage a client to take an integrative approach in the quest for optimal health and wellness. They will develop varied strategies for healing and provide education on lifestyle changes and self-care for good health.

Holistic therapists look at a client’s physical symptoms and issues and evaluate how the body is involved and affected with the goal of facilitating a sense of physical well-being. Many offer their clients assistance with dietary issues, exercise and the development of proactive health measures.

Naturally, the holistic therapist will also be attentive to the mental condition of the client. Skills and knowledge help the practitioner to sort through symptoms and behaviours to assess issues and determine plans of action or direction. The holistic therapist does not abandon historically employed methods; they choose, however, to integrate them into their supplemental observations based on a physiological and spiritual assessment of the client.

 

  So easy to talk to, like talking to a friend – only a friend who has no agenda, doesn’t judge, and clearly only has my best interest at heart. I was in a real rut and in what seemed a blink of an eye felt loads better. Laurent is very skilled, and a lovely man.

  By the end of the sessions, I felt unburdened and ready to take on the challenges ahead of me. I particularly liked that Laurent encouraged me to think about what I was doing for myself – having time for my own personal nourishment. I felt the sessions re-balanced me. He made me feel secure through his calm demeanour, and provided warmth and openness throughout.  
Tim
  I want to say thank you so much for being so understanding and supportive throughout this amazing journey. I came away from our sessions with a much more positive image of myself, and feel I have more clarity on the unresolved issues that have given me extreme anxiety for much of my life, and that I now have some tools I can use to try to deal with them.  
Sasha
  Genuine, kind, calm, compassionate, empathetic and very knowledgeable. You can see he has a wide range of skills, he always manages to find the right way to make everything clearer.  
Jane
  Laurent is kind, supportive and understanding. I immediately felt completely safe. He has an uncanny knack for knowing what to say at the right time, and has an impressive toolkit whatever the moment. I was really impressed at how quickly I saw improvements.
