WHO ARE BRIGHTON & HOVE THERAPIES?
We are a group of fully-qualified, insured and professional holistic healthcare practitioners, treating mind, body (and some would say, soul), from therapy rooms in the Poet's Corner area of Hove.
We're all self-employed and work independently of each other, but we all share the belief that all therapies are tools for you to use on your self-healing journey.
No single therapy is right for everyone, so we are also very happy to work together for your benefit, if you wish, and will refer you on to another therapist if we feel it'll be more beneficial for you.
DO YOU DO SPA-STYLE TREATMENT PACKAGES?
You can create your own natural healthcare package, for best and quickest results. Think of this a bit like a spa package, but without the need to leave your home town!
For example, you might choose to have homeopathy (an energy medicine) for physical and emotional symptoms of work-related stress, but also book in for some massage to help your system to unwind while you're working on the deeper problem. For example, during the course of your homeopathy treatment, you might identify that deep-seated issues from your past are behind your need to drive yourself so hard, so you might decide to explore this using psychotherapy.
WHAT ABOUT INTEGRATED CARE?
The great thing about treatment at Brighton & Hove Therapies is that, if you choose, and if you give your written consent, our therapists can respectfully discuss your case, and ensure that all treatments enhance each other.
WHAT IF I JUST WANT ONE THERAPY?
Of course, our therapists are also happy to work alone, so if you only want one type of therapy, that's fine, too!
HOW DO I CHOOSE WHAT THERAPIES ARE RIGHT FOR ME?
If you're not entirely sure which therapy or therapist would suit you best, you're very welcome to book in for a FREE 15 minute gateway consultation with Sarah Whittaker, our homeopath and the therapy rooms' manager, to find out more about the therapies and what might suit you. Sarah will also ask you what sort of approach you respond to (for example, gentle and sensitive, or more direct and robust) as this means that she can match you with an individual therapist. You can make an appointment to speak with Sarah by calling 01273 715822.
HOW DO I BOOK?
To book your appointment, and for more information, call your therapist direct, to discuss your particular needs.
HOW DO I PAY?
All our therapists are self-employed and run their own practices, so please pay your therapist direct, via cheque or cash.
WILL I HAVE TO GET UNDRESSED?
For some of our bodywork treatments, for example natural lift face massage, organic facials and other massages, you will be asked to remove some items of clothing. However, therapists at Brighton & Hove Therapies are sensitive to your need for privacy, and will give you a wrap or towels to cover yourself with, and will leave the room while you undress.
I'M SHY ABOUT MY BODY, OR ABOUT SEEKING HELP
Please try not to worry about this while you're with us. We care for everyone who comes to us for treatment, and you're very welcome, whether you're young or old, slender or plump, happy or sad, clear-skinned or have problem skin. We just want you to feel betteras quickly as possible!
DO YOU TREAT MEN AS WELL AS WOMEN?
Yes, we're delighted to welcome men and women, gay or straight, to Brighton & Hove Therapies.
I'VE BEEN SEEING ONE THERAPIST, AND WANT TO SWITCH TO ANOTHER
This is fine: we understand that different treatments may suit you at different times, and we don't work in competition with each other - in fact, many of our clients have more than one type of treatment at a time, so see more than one of us in any week!
