Meet the team of health professionals

After qualifying at the British College of Osteopathy & Naturopathy in London in 1989, Andrew stayed on and lectured on osteopathic technique. He entered full-time practice at the Haslemere Clinic in 1990 and completed post graduate studies in lower leg biomechanics and podiatry thereafter. Andrew became a partner in 1996 and in 2006 became the sole owner.

One of our most experienced osteopaths, he has a particular interest in sports injuries, focussing on the hip and knee, and in gait assessment – he has been prescribing prescription orthotics for 15 years, working closely with Langer Biomechanics during this period as manufacturers of orthotic devices. See our Orthotics page for more information. He’s a keen sportsman himself, playing tennis, village cricket and golf on a regular basis.

Martin has been working in healthcare since leaving school. He studied for a combined nursing degree with psychology and then worked in cardiac and general intensive care units over 10 years. He also found time to study for an occupational nursing certificate and has worked in industry as an occupational health nurse advisor, wherefrom he derived an interest in health and safety issues, particularly working to prevent the musculo-skeletal injuries that result from occupational activity. He then retrained as an osteopath, qualifying with an honours degree in osteopathic medicine and a Naturopathic diploma.

Martin has a hands on approach to health care. He describes himself as a holistic practitioner who looks after the physical and psychological aspects of a patient’s health. He very much views one of the osteopath’s roles as inspiring individuals to look after themselves in a therapeutic relationship between the osteopath and the patient. He has completed the Paediatric Diploma in Osteopathy at the Osteopathic Centre for Children. He now offers specialist paediatric care with structural and cranial approaches.

Martin is married with two children and actively supports them in their 101 activities including stints at the ice rink and refereeing his son’s football team. He keeps fit by playing tennis and running. In 2008 he ran the London marathon and raised £1,600 for muscular dystrophy research. He is also a keen long distance walker and is keen on rugby and football, supporting London Irish and Tottenham Hotspur. He tries to be nice to Arsenal fans when they venture into the practice . . . !

Peter came to osteopathy in his mid thirties after a career in the police. He graduated from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine with a first class honours degree in 2004. Since then he has been treating patients at Haslemere and in his clinic at home in Buriton, near Petersfield.

He has gained a wealth of experience from treating a wide range of patients of all ages, from athletes and sports players to office workers. He has a keen interest in acupuncture and is a member of the British Medical Acupuncture Society. When appropriate, he can incorporate acupuncture into the osteopathic treatment, which can provide very effective pain relief. Read more on our Acupuncture page.

When not working, he spends time with his wife and three young children. His sporting interests include mountain biking, swimming and skiing. He also sings with the Southampton Philharmonic Choir.

Danni studied a master’s in Osteopathy at the International College of Osteopathic Medicine and graduated with distinction. Danni has over 1000 hours of clinical practice and has a keen interest in the ‘why and how’ a patient is feeling as they do and will focus on getting to the root cause of a patient’s complaint. With a background in the Classical teachings Danni’s aim is to support the body in its own healing response.  

Before becoming an Osteopath, Danni gained a BSc. in Food Science and Business at the University of Reading and went on to work in the food and nutrition industry for 16 years. Danni quickly realised she wanted to be an Osteopath after sustaining an injury and seeking osteopathic treatment but the opportunity to retrain only presented itself following the birth of her twins. 

Danni has also studied at the London School of Sports and Remedial Massage Therapy and has consequently worked in the sport rehabilitation arena for the last 7 years.

Danni’s specific areas of interests are osteoarthritis, elbow and shoulder injuries and adolescent musculoskeletal pain. Going forward Danni plans to continue her studies in Paediatric Cranial Osteopathy. 

Danni enjoys running, pilates and playing with her 3 children.

Meaningful change is hard work. I believe having someone in your corner makes it more possible. Gestalt therapy provides a space to explore the stories and patterns in your life and where you might have become stuck. Ways that we adapted to cope with difficult experiences in the past often function in the background of our awareness, influencing our experience of ourselves, our relationships and our behaviour. Therapy helps to build skills and awareness to notice these, take steps towards change, and better support yourself and become better supported by those around you. 

Therapy is typically an ongoing arrangement. We'll meet weekly and I will meet you where you're at: in your pain, in your stuckness, and all the places in between. This type of support is for people who experience serious mental health struggles as well as those who are feeling dissatisfied or stuck. 

You are the agent of change. I believe that our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are there to meet a need and will encourage you to be interested in what function your symptoms serve and whether they are serving you in your present context. I will be alongside you as you confront yourself with honesty and compassion. 

I support people to develop their awareness, their agency, and their resilience - the foundations of a healthy life. Focusing on trust, respect and dialogue, I use creative, relational and experiential approaches to support clients to work through their experiences. We will work together to see what holds you back from leading a more satisfying life. 

I am a final year trainee psychotherapist, training at the Metanoia Institute in London. I am expected to qualify in 2024 with a Master's in Gestalt Psychotherapy, a five-year training programme. I have a Post-Graduate Certificate in People and Organisation Development. 

I have supported local community mental health services since 2020. I have also been a counsellor for Mind and worked for one of the largest psychotherapy research clinics in Europe. I have experience working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation; with adults working through childhood trauma and abuse; with those experiencing emotional and relationship difficulties; and supporting people with diagnosed mental health conditions including personality disorders, eating disorders and OCD. 

You probably want to know if I'm the right fit for you. I offer a free initial exploratory chat to see if psychotherapy would be suitable for you. Clients often have an instinctive feeling of whether the therapist is someone they could trust and open up to. We will talk through what you're looking for from therapy, I will share my approach and you'll have the opportunity to better understand if you'd like to work with me.

About Me

I help people overcome depression, anxiety, emetophobia (fear of vomiting), loneliness, relationship break ups, grief and loss. 

I am here to listen and give you the space to be you. I can help you find new perspective on challenges, setbacks, difficult emotions, and suffering.

Our emotions and intuition are signposts to what is really going on inside us. So alongside using talk therapy and CBT, I also train clients how to become more aware of their feelings and inner messages. For those who are open to it, I can also use hypnotherapy. 

I am a trainee Counsellor (under supervision) completing a Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling with the Institute of Psychosynthesis. Psychosynthesis is a form of Psychotherapy based on the idea that we have a wiser Higher Self inside ourselves which we can learn to tune into and allow to guide us. I am currently also working towards an MA in Psychosynthesis which will be completed by March 2024. I have also trained in hypnotherapy with the Ericksonian and Newton schools.

Therapy should be a soulful process and you should feel like you can connect with me. So I offer a free 30 minute telephone / zoom consultation where you can ask me questions and work out whether you would feel comfortable working with me.

My fee is £60 for 50 minutes.

If you want an experience that is truthful and on the level, then feel free to reach out to me.

magine a safe, private space where you can express yourself freely, without fear of judgment or advice. A place where you’re in control and can take as much time as you need to explore your thoughts and feelings. What would you do with that?

That’s the environment I offer. As a person-centred counsellor, my role is to be with you as you explore your experiences, build your self-awareness, and work towards the changes you want to make in your life. I am not a life coach or a source of ready-made advice. I believe the true expert in your life is you.

I work with adult clients in private practice at the Haslemere Clinic and in Guildford, Farnham, and Godalming. My experience spans a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, bereavement, and more. I welcome all clients, regardless of disability, sexuality, gender, race, or religion.

I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK’s professional association for counsellors, and I work within the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

If you think we might be a good fit, the next step would be to arrange a free, no-obligation consultation. This can be in person, online, or over the phone, whichever is most convenient for you. From there, if you feel comfortable and our relationship seems to be a good match, we can begin the work together.

Thank you for reading my profile.

I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist having been trained and personally taught by Marisa Peer, founder of Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) a therapy that harnesses the most powerful potential on this planet - Your Mind!

RTT is a solution-orientated hybrid therapy that is both fast and highly effective and is based on the science of neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to change and adapt due to experience) and combines the most beneficial principles of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT).

RTT focuses on a direct pathway to finding the root cause and enables a subconscious level of understanding that can free you from old, self-defeating beliefs, patterns of thought and subsequently unwanted behaviours. Allowing you to see and understand for yourself, why you have the beliefs you have and how it affects you today, reframing any negative beliefs and replacing them with positive empowering thoughts.

I believe in offering my clients a fast and effective solution to their issues (normally 1 to 3 sessions), enabling them to live their best life, free from the past. Free from physical, emotional and psychological pain.

I am both proud and very humbled that I can help people find peace and understanding.

I offer a confidential and safe environment either at The Haslemere Clinic or via WhatsApp/Zoom in the comfort of your own home.

Please contact me for a free consultation.
