Joan Hughes Wellbeing Therapist. Certified Grief Recovery Specialist | Advanced Hypnotherapist | Holistic Therapist

The grief recovery method was excellent. To be able to understand grief and work through the process to complete on emotional pain has been life transforming. Joan guided me with expertise and wisdom. I am now so much better equipped to recognise and deal with loss of all kinds. This not only helps me but also enables me to support others in my role as a vicar. Thank you

I booked an Indian Head massage with Joan, as it was something I'd heard about and was curious to try. It was a lovely experience and I felt very relaxed at the end of it!

Joan is an incredible human being and simply exceptional at what she does. I have to say, I entered the programme a little unsure of what to expect and how successful (or unsuccessful) it might be. I had no reason to be concerned. Joan took me step by step through the framework with patience and untold kindness. The Grief Recovery Method is action based and I had some reading and a small amount of homework to do but it was completely worth it and is an integral part of the process. Completing the programme has made a huge difference to how I feel about 2 really significant situations in my life that had had an impact for far too long. I can't thank Joan enough. Put your trust and faith in her and the programme. You won't regret it.

I came to Joan through a word of mouth recommendation. I knew I needed some kind of help as I was making no more progress on my own in my recovery, but I had uncertainty in abundance with the method. This uncertainty proved unfounded and was based on my own prejudice. After the first face to face meeting with Joan, I felt hope that this method could be a key part of my improvement. I felt safe and listened to, with a defined guide to assist. As lockdown occurred once more, it is of great testament to Joan that we continued without me feeling impaired in the recovery process - a non-face to face just wouldn't have seemed feasible to me in the beginning. Ten minutes in I didn't even notice the video conference aspect. I couldn't imagine having gone on this journey with anybody else but with Joan. I'm not an emotional person, but I had enough sense to know when no progress is being made and when a change in approach is needed. This programme along with Joan by my side gave me the tools to cope and improve as life progresses. I do feel more positive, and calm in myself, and I can re-read the book when needed. Some aspects may seem self-evident and common sense once read, but without the programme I wouldn't have realised these elements for myself. I can recommend Joan, and the programme for an emotional recovery, and for a greater understanding of how we as humans tick. With thanks.
