Counselling and Reflexology

The following wording has been prepared by therapy websites, to describe the range of therapies offered by therapy websites clients, in this case counselling and reflexology. This wording is not the responsibility of the Adlerian Society, and is not endorsed by the Adlerian Society

therapy websites websites are not exclusive to counselling, but support therapists trained in a wide range of specialisms, with reflexology being a key area of focus. Reflexology is a complementary therapy that can be used by practitioners independently or used alongside to complement other therapies. Reflexology is a therapy which has been known to offer relief to those suffering from migraine headaches, anxiety, insomnia, depression and stress and may be useful when combined with counselling.

A reflexologist uses light or strong pressure on reflex points on the feet or hands, which mirror body organs and systems and it can prove a worthwhile and relaxing treatment if you are suffering with muscle tension, aches and pains, arthritis or even a sporting injury. Reflexology is a natural and non-invasive therapy that uses a holistic approach – treating mind, body and spirit. It therefore may be an effective therapy for clients experiencing fertility and conception difficulties, and is a safe therapy for use in maternity and to help relieve back pain, hormonal disorders and the fatigue and exhaustion that often occur at this time in life.

Reflexology is suitable for all ages, babies to the elderly, and is an extremely calming therapy which may prove ideal if you are suffering with high blood pressure, or digestive disorders such as irritable bowel or Crohn’s disease. Reflexologists will explain how bringing the body back into harmony with itself can give the body a boost which will assist with skin disorders such as eczema or psoriasis. Reflexology is suitable for many disorders including asthma and respiratory dysfunction. Because of the calming nature of reflexology and the fact it aims to promote well being within the body it has the potential to combine well with counselling.
