Ayurveda Consultations
Meni Farkash
What should I expect from an Ayurvedic consultation?
Consultation is key to establish one's imbalance and to devise a plan to restore balance and health. During our consultation I will be asking you about your past and present medical history, your current main disorders as well as family history. As well as medical information, we will be looking at your sleep patterns, your eating habits and your overall energy levels. All these factors are put together to create a holistic picture of your health. Ayurveda aims to restore balance to all aspects of life and doesn't see a disorder as an independent phenomena but rather, as a manifestation of a deeper imbalance. As such, the aim of a consultation is to find the roots of the disorder so that a plan can be created to remove those roots and restore health.
Based on our consultation, I will advise you on changes to your diet and lifestyle. Changes that will remove the cause of the disorder and will put you on the path towards health. You will be given meal plan recommendations, lists of food to avoid or consume and lifestyle recommendation to pursue or avoid.
As well as diet and lifestyle recommendations, herbs, oils, and minerals, are prescribed to support the body's path to balance. These herbs are sourced from a trusted laboratory in Sri Lanka with high standards of quality control which guarantee their quality, purity and potency.
I have trained as an Ayurvedic Practitioner and an ayurvedic lifestyle consultant at one of the most well-established recognised Ayurvedic Clinics in Europe, The Ayurveda Institute UK, under the strict clinical supervision of traditional Ayurvedic doctors Dr Deepika Rodrigo (B.A.M.S) and Dr Wathsala Wijesinghe. (B.A.M.S, MSc, M.D.).
Being a yoga therapist, sessions may include, if appropriate, physical exercises, asanas, breathing and relaxation techniques.
1 - 1.5 hour initial consultation - £55

Integrative Psychotherapy
Howard Martin
You may be facing a difficult time in your life at the moment and looking for help and support. Are you feeling anxious, uncertain, depressed or generally unhappy? Having sexual or relationship issues? Perhaps you are trapped in patterns of behaviour or addictions that feel out of control? Sometimes we feel unable to talk things through with friends and family and want to speak to someone who is not involved and is trained to help. That’s where I can help as a psychotherapist. I can work with you by providing a space in which you can talk about and understand your situation and think about possible changes. Together, we can identify underlying themes and patterns of behaviour that get in the way of a happy and productive way of life and I can support you in achieving the life, relationships and well-being you wish for.
