The Biggest Counselling Myth

A common myth about counselling is that you see a counsellor to get advice. 

However, a counsellor does not advise you on what decisions to make or tell you what you 'need' to do.

The reason is, a crucial element of person centred counselling is that, you are the expert in your life.
You've lived your own unique life, your current situation has nuances that are particular to you.
When making decisions, your values need to be at the centre, not someone else's.

So then, what value does working with a counsellor provide when stuck in indecision?
A counsellor can support you by letting you be heard, working through decision making tools and assisting with stress reduction tools like my specialty EFT/Tapping.
This combination helps bring clarity to your situation, empowering you to make decisions that align with you.

Since adding myofascial cupping as a treatment 18 months ago it has really grown as a popular option. Many people still have questions about it, so I have put together some FAQs to try to help answer these.

Does Myofascial Cupping always leave those circular bruises?

With myofascial cupping our aim is to not leave and bruising, however it can't be completely ruled out. In other styles of cupping the cups are left in place for an extended period of time which causes these bruises. In myofascial cupping we are gliding the cups while they are connected to the skin to help loosen the soft tissue. This style is less likely to bruise and creates more benefit as we cover a broader treatment area.

What is myofascial cupping exactly?

In myofascial cupping we place the cups on the skin and using a hand held vacuum pump, negative pressure is created drawing the skin into the cup. As the cup is glided over the skin it lifts and separates soft tissue, helping to break down adhesions.

Does is hurt?

There are ways we can adjust the pressure during cupping and there are different cup sizes that can be used to reduce any discomfort. What you may feel during treatment is a sensation of itchiness as blood flows to the area.
