Counselling & Reflexology in Epsom, Surrey

I offer clients the choice of coming to my treatment room in Stoneleigh, near Epsom or staying in their own home

We begin by going through a health questionnaire together to identify the key areas of importance for the client. You will take off your shoes and socks and be seated on a comfortable reclining chair and covered with a blanket. The feet will be gently massaged and this is normally a very relaxing experience. Occasionally you may feel areas of tenderness on the feet, this is usually an indication of an imbalance in the area of the body to which that part of the foot relates. Reflexology uses a map of the body which is reflected on the feet to detect imbalances and massaging these areas aims to restore balance to the body. Thai Foot Massage involves the gentle stretching and massaging of the feet and lower legs so loose fitting trousers or shorts are recommended.

Reflexology aims to re-balance the body, reduce tension, improve the blood supply and eliminate toxins so sometimes after your first treatment the body will start a de-tox process. This can involve you feeling lethargic, having a headache and going to the toilet more often. This is a natural process and will come on within 24 hours of the treatment. It doesn’t happen to all clients but it’s good to be aware of the symptoms in case you do experience it. The key thing to do if you are de-toxing is to drink plenty of water and remember that these symptoms signify that your body is cleansing itself which is a positive thing.

If you have mobility issues and find it difficult to get in and out of a chair or have difficulty climbing stairs, please let me know when booking your treatment.

If you suspect your weight may be over 23 stone/150kg please let me know before booking your treatment. The La Fuma chair I use has a safety limit of 150kg but there are alternatives we can discuss so you can have your treatment safely and in comfort.

I have two cockapoo dogs which have a non-shedding coat that produces less dander. Dander, which clings to pet hair, is what causes most pet allergies in people. Cockapoos are one of the breeds known as hypoallergenic (although no dog is 100% hypoallergenic). If you are allergic to anything that may be in a cream or balm eg coconut oil or if you are highly sensitive to smells like candles, or have a severe allergy (eg nuts) then please let me know in advance.

If you have any issues you are concerned about regarding your treatment, please do get in touch. There is usually a way around most issues!

Unfortunately not. Combining counselling and reflexology in the same session would be challenging for several reasons, both practical and psychological. 

Trying to fully engage in both at the same time would split my attention and reduce the effectiveness of each.

Yes. Being both a counselling and reflexology client can be highly beneficial, as each modality supports well-being in complementary ways. Counselling supports mental and emotional well-being and Reflexology supports physical and energetic balance. Together, they address the whole person - mind and body.
