Nurture your mind body connection 

Your symptoms are not "all in your head". 

​

The mind and body are interconnected through brain activity (neuroscience), immune activity (psychoneuroimmunology) and through nervous system processes. To improve symptoms like fatigue, pain, recurrent infections, gut and bladder issues, you need to work with the specific psychobiological processes that are keeping them going. 

 

Working with your psychobiology   â€‹

Dr Sula and her team introduce you to tailored mind-body science relevant to your condition, identifying what is keeping difficulties going. From here you create a plan specific to your experiences and situation using only the most well-evidenced approaches, that are proven to be effective in improving health and wellbeing. 

 

Actors, performers, royalty, CEOs, lawyers and busy professionals have sought Dr Sula’s services to achieve their healing goals. Whether improving physical symptoms, mood or processing trauma, learning to nurture the mind body connection gets you feeling at home in your own body again.

Some of my lovely client reviews...

Client with chronic UTI

Sula's knowledge and experience are really valuable, she is very intuitive and picks up on small things I say which I don’t realise have significance and has more insights into them. I feel listened to and understood and appreciate my sessions being personal and tailored to my needs. Starting sessions with sula has made a big difference to my recovery and I only wish I had started it sooner.

Client with Colitis

This was my first experience of therapy and I am so glad I found Sula. She is extremely good at what she does and helped me to pinpoint the issues I was facing and to provide really effective ways to manage them and to shift my perspective. I looked forward to our sessions and found them really effective in a short time.

Client with trauma

It felt like a safe space to share what was on my mind and my experiences. It felt really good to have someone who was properly listening to me and validating my emotions. I mentioned some things to Sula that I had never mentioned to anyone and it helped remove some of the shame, which is very helpful. I never felt judged when I was speaking to Sula, even though it was quite hard at times.

Want to explore your symptoms via a mini assessment?

Take the quiz

Use the mini assessment to get guidance on what mind-body approach can help move you towards your healing goals, taking into account everything you've already tried. 

Thinking about therapy, but not ready?

You're not alone. Therapy can feel like a big step. A big investment. A big journey to begin. 

​

Far be it from me to persuade you that now is the right time. It's actually really important that you come when you are ready to make that step. To help you work that out, you may need time to reflect. But beware of the "out of sight, out of mind" phenomena. Where a decision feels to big and scary to think about, that we happily think about anything else.
