Personal, couples and group work the medicine way...
A glimpse of our work. Please use email form below for details.
Retreats
We run retreats as well as day workshops and these are very popular and participants give amazing feedback. These are led by Lorna and her wonderful associates. We also have associate members in Jersey, Frome, Glasgow, Shrewsbury/Wales as well as our core teams here in Devon and Cornwall..

Women's work
We are hugely experienced in women’s work and one favourite strand of this work is to connect with the energy of Grandmother Moon.
Many team members have experience in mainstream services but love the depth and holistic nature of our work together much of which is pro bono.
Look out for our Moon and other workshops!
Personal therapy and couples work
With four decades of work since qualification, Lorna has undertaken a vast array of Therapeutic Work and Psychotherapy in her role as a Psychiatric Social Worker and Counsellor. This has been with the most complex issues in Acute Mental Health.
Now that she has stepped away from this acute NHS work, she will be offering mainstream therapeutic work with the option of working from a holistic and Spiritual perspective. Please email below for more details.
Bereavement and loss work
We offer a very gentle approach to ceremonies and have held ceremony for handfasting, life transitions and funeral and scattering ashes ceremonies.
Lorna is scattering her beloved parents remains out to the Corryvreckan whirlpool at her Fathers request.
Group therapy
Deep work is offered in a holistic setting with groups at all levels.. Lorna started running groups in 5th year at school in 1976 for younger girls and led groups at Uni. As a professional in Mental Heath she has run groups of many kinds and with many client groups. Her women’s NHS groupwork was nationally recognised as an exemplar by the Dept of Health Womens lead.
Now Lorna adds the holistic approach and Spiritual Medicine to her groupwork.
Supported by associates, the work at depth is rounded by creativity. Team members do like having fun… and humour can be so therapeutic.. and get under the radar for that deeper work. .
