Extra Time With Your Massage

 

Some reasons you may choose to book in extra time around your massage:
 

• You have previously experienced trauma and you want some extra time around your massage to ensure you feel safe.
   

• You do not receive regular touch, or you have specific boundaries around touch and want to feel comfortable in your treatment and with me.
   

• You have been experiencing a lot of stress recently, and want some space to talk and let it go, before you relax into a massage, and before you leave.
   

• Having a massage evokes emotions for you, you want time around and during your treatment to pause and/or express this.
   

• You want to extend your treatment, and feel nurtured both physically and emotionally.

​

​

Whatever your reasons for wanting some extra time, you do not need to explain these to me when booking. Just mention that you want extra support time around the treatment, and we can book this in to ensure you have the space you want and need.
 

As your massage therapist, I cannot be your counsellor for ethical reasons. However, you can be assured that I will bring my experience with me in supporting you in this space together.

The truth is, all of us can supress unprocessed emotions in our body, we just don't always know that they are there. For some people, touch may be triggering to these emotions. In some cases, these emotions may be so strong that touch can feel overwhelming or even feel unsafe at times.

If you are booking in for a massage, and feel that you want some extra time to talk and receive additional support before, during or after your massage, we can arrange this time together to ensure that you feel safe and supported throughout your treatment.

Support Time Without A Massage

​

Some reasons you may choose to book in for support sessions without booking in for a massage:

​

• You want to have a combination of massage and support sessions, but you would rather keep them separate and book in on different days. 
   

• Before booking in for a massage, you want to feel comfortable with me and the space we are in, you feel that doing both in the same day would not feel right for you.
   

• You do not want a massage at this stage but you want a space to talk and feel heard in a confidential environment away, from the rest of your life.

​

If you are unsure if you are wanting support sessions or counselling, please get in touch. These are very different spaces and I am happy to talk with you and answer any questions.

​

What is the difference between counselling and these support sessions? 

​

• Counselling requires a regular commitment. Over time, we build trust to explore the areas of your life that you want to work with. We can work with deep layers of your life, whether this is in the present, from the past or looking forward to the future. It is important to note, that if I am your massage therapist, I cannot be your counselling (and vice versa). There are clear boundaries here for ethical reasons. For more information about counselling with me you can read more here or get in touch. 
   

• Support sessions can be offered alongside massage treatments, or as a standalone session. There is no regular commitment, however, you can book in when you want. These sessions are a space where you can hear you own voice and know I am next to you in an understanding way. We do not go to the same depths here as we would in counselling sessions and I will hold that boundary.
