Health & Wellness Counselling
Our Services
Health and Wellness Counselling
Your physical and emotional health are closely connected. Changes to your sleep, exercise, diet, daily routines and other lifestyle habits can have a positive impact on your mental and emotional wellbeing.
Sometimes we know what we need to change, but actually making those changes — and maintaining them — can be difficult.
You may have tried to lose weight, exercise more, eat healthier, improve your sleep, reduce alcohol, quit smoking or introduce relaxation into your daily routine, only to find that the changes don’t last.
Counselling can help you understand what is getting in the way and develop practical strategies that fit your life.
Andrew combines his counselling experience with his experience working in healthcare to form an integrated approach to health and wellbeing.
Support can include:
- Improving lifestyle habits
- Developing healthy lifestyle strategies
- Alcohol addiction
- Smoking & Vaping
- Stress & burnout
- Major life transitions
- Chronic condition support
- Pain & Fatigue
- Grief & Loss
- Social Isolation
- Mindfulness
- Goal setting and motivation
- And more..
Find Your Natural Rhythm
Online Qigong Breathwork
Take a moment to slow down, reconnect with yourself and explore simple Qigong breathwork practices from the comfort of your own home.
Andrew offers one-to-one Qigong breathwork sessions online, drawing on his training and experience in Tai Chi and Qigong. The sessions incorporate gentle breathing, mindfulness and movement practices influenced by Tao philosophy and the idea of following a natural path towards greater balance and wellbeing.
No previous experience with Qigong, Tai Chi or breathwork is required. Andrew will guide you through each practice at a comfortable pace, helping you develop simple techniques that you can incorporate into your everyday routine.
What You Can Explore
Online Qigong breathwork sessions may help you:
- Stress reduction
- Relaxation
- Emotional regulation
- Breathing awareness
- Body awareness
- Mind-body wellbeing
Personalised Online Sessions
Every session is tailored to you. Whether you are completely new to Qigong or have some previous experience, Andrew will guide you through gentle practices suited to your comfort and personal goals.
All you need is a quiet space, a comfortable place to sit or stand, and an internet connection.
Take a breath. Slow down. Find your natural rhythm.
