Clover House Therapy - The Complementary Therapy Centre for Children

 

Mum heard about us through a school talk. She reported her child had frequent headaches and panic attacks, various anxieties (walking on her own, accidents and travelling) and had big mood swings.

 

 

Advice was given to stabilise blood sugar levels including having a substantial breakfast, varying the foods, and have a filling snack in the evening.  Later it was suggested to avoid dairy, try wholemeal bread, and to vary lunches. Also have more water. Lots of handouts were given, together with acidophilus supplement.

 

Support was given to Rosie about being nervous at school and an acupressure point for headaches.   Mum already knew about massage and reflexology and was asked to incorporate this into a daily routine.

 

As Rosemary was very nervous, stories were told to introduce her about overcoming anxieties and phobias.  A tennis ball technique was incorporated to deal with panicking, and a “blow out” to help clear them.

 

 

Two months later after session Mum completed an evaluation 

She wrote ”Gained some useful nutritional information, had the value of touch re-affirmed;  and realised that talking is not the best way”, that Rosemary needed to “get out of her head” and into practicalities.   She most liked that the service was “small and personalised”
