Did you know that many aches, pains and illnesses are caused by holding on to an emotional event of the past? You may find that simply talking things through can actually make you feel better emotionally and physically.

You may not know that you and only you are in control of your life, and that you can take steps to change what you don't like about it. Counselling can help you do this.

So send an email, explaining your problems or how you feel about something happening in your life, or chat online for more personal contact. Either way you will be giving yourself the opportunity for changing your life for the better.

I believe that our bodies are composed of several different fields of energy of which the physical body, mind and spirit/soul are three that we are most familiar with. The mind, spirit and other energy forms are often referred to as the 'aura', a colourful haze surrounding the physical body, but this is actually the magnetic field resulting from our body's electrical current (More about this in another discussion).

I have come to understand that living life often results in pain and damage to spirit, mind and/or body, but because we are mainly conscious of the body we feel that our aches, pains and illnesses exist only at this level.

However, many diseases originate in the spirit or mind, such as arthritis which can result from the bitterness and resentment of feeling unloved, or lower back problems from worries about financial concerns, or near sightedness from a fear of the future, or heart problems from long-standing emotional issues,lack of joy and even a broken heart.

Often, emotional and/or mental damage is not healed, and this pain festers and can manifest as a physical problem. Some see this as the spirit bringing this enresolved pain to the attention of the person, so that it may be healed.

Treating the body with massage, drugs or natural therapies certainly brings relief to the body, but if the spirit and/or mind bodies are not treated as well then the symptoms may reappear whenever a trigger event causes the unresolved emotional pain to manifest once again as a physical problem.

Therefore I believe it is necessary to approach problems on all levels, body, mind and spirit, so that all scars are healed, in order to prevent relapses.

My overall approach is Person-Centered counselling, which assumes that people know what's best for themselves, and that they have the inner resources they need to heal their lives. All they need to release their self knowledge is unconditional acceptance and deep empathy and attention to what they are saying and who they are. I offer this as well as being myself, with no professional aloofness.

Apart from using my life experience to help us both understand how to proceed, I extensively incorporate Imagination Counselling, Gestalt Therapy, Tarot readings and Numerology as required in order to bring a deeper understanding of the complexity that makes up a unique person.

I have two methods you can use to get counselling, both of which are paid for in advance using PayPal - the first is online chat in a private chat room with Jennie, and the second is a one-off email response, where I will reply to an email of yours with around 200 to 300 words of advice depending on your query. Should you wish to reply and have further discussion using this method, this is easily done by logging in again and purchasing a further one-off response.
