Telephone or Video Counselling
The Centre is still offering counselling Monday to Saturday via telephone or video, and face to face on a Friday morning.
Counselling is about helping you to think things through for yourself to find your own answers. It is not always an easy process, as it may mean talking about things you feel uncomfortable about. But it can also be a relief to air these feelings, thoughts and ideas with someone who listens, does not judge and respects your confidentiality.
Distance Reiki
Distance Reiki can be sent to anyone, anywhere and at any time in the world and enables your Reiki Master to go beyond the limitations of time and space. It expands your practitioner’s ability to transmit spiritual energy beyond physical touch. In other words, it’s a way to offer Reiki without the recipient being in the same room as you. During a distance Reiki session, you will experience the same sensations as you would in person. You might see colours, feel warmth – or even cold – in different parts of your body. At the time of your appointment you should be at home, relaxing, preferably in a room on your own, laying on your bed would be ideal. Make sure no one disturbs you, close your eyes and do nothing.

Online Yoga with Gail Davies (for SECHC members only)
Mondays 2pm to 2.40pm and Thursdays 2pm to 2.40pm
This gentle class may be taken seated in a chair, to allow those who find it difficult to get up and down from the floor to experience the benefits of a yoga practice.
Yoga is a holistic system for bringing about balance and harmony on all levels: body, mind, emotions and spirit. A yoga practice that includes breathing, exercises, simple movements, relaxation and meditation can help to restore this balance when it has been disturbed by illness.
Online Tai Chi with Richard Antonowicz
Wednesdays 10.30am to 11.30am
Tai Chi can be done by people of all ages and at all levels of fitness. It is not competitive, and everyone works at their own level and for their own benefit.
It is absorbing but not exhausting or stressful. There is no need for any special equipment or clothing; just wear something loose and comfortable and socks or flat, soft soled shoes.
Online Guided Relaxation with Anne-Claire Noat
Fridays 10am to 10.45am
