Geoff Lamb
MSc., BSc., Dip Psych, Dip Couples Counselling, Certified Psychosexual Therapist
Couple Counselling & Psychosexual Therapy
I am a qualified psychotherapist, couple counsellor and psychosexual therapist with nearly forty years’ experience. I offer one to one and couple sessions at the LifeCare clinic and online.
Individual Psychotherapy
People mostly come to therapy because something isn’t working in their lives. My approach is to help you explore what isn’t working in a way that focusses, not just on the problem itself, but on your response to the difficulties and challenges you’re experiencing. My aim is to enable you to access your own innate capacity to not only cope with whatever life throws at you, but to grow and achieve your full potential as a human being.
Couple Counselling
Living in a close relationship with another human being isn’t easy. The ‘honeymoon period’ comes to an end and you need to find a way of living with each other, deepening the relationship and allowing it to grow and develop. This is a challenge and couples either ‘learn to live with’ their unfulfilled needs or split up. I see relationship problems as a wakeup call, a sign that the relationship needs to grow and develop, although I recognise that the problems can be very painful. I emphasise the importance of communication in relationships, particularly when it comes to expressing and listening to our own and each other’s feelings and needs. Our need to be right can make it difficult to listen to our partner, whilst our reluctance to allow ourselves to be vulnerable can get in the way of expressing our needs. I create a safe space where both partners can be open with each other and help them to learn to create this for themselves.
Psychosexual Therapy
In my work as a psychosexual therapist, I focus on, not just the physical issues that couples and individuals experience around sex – Erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, difficulties with orgasm or penetration etc., but also the emotional or psychological difficulties which can often underly these. The focus in sex is often either on ‘performance’ - being good enough to ‘satisfy’ your partner, or on the discharge of your own pent-up libido or sexual energy. By encouraging individuals and couples to focus more on their connection, both with themselves and their own body and with their partner and their body, I believe that sex can become a way of sharing both your body and your love with your partner.

Helen Brown Sports & Remedial Massage Therapy, Remedial Exercise, Life Coaching, Psychotherapy, Natural Energy Therapy
I am a Sports Massage Practitioner, Natural Energy Therapist, Psychotherapist, Life Coach, Personal Trainer, Rehabilitation Exercise Therapist and Lecturer. This gives me a wide scope of practice and the ability to provide treatments tailored to what you need.
My career in Therapy began 27 years ago when I first began practicing as a Sports Massage Practitioner. I progressed from clinical practice into establishing GP referral schemes in the Southwest. Here patients with long term injuries or illness could receive the support, advice, treatment and exercise they needed to aid their recovery or transistion to living with life altering illnesses or injuries.
I later branched into teaching as a lecturer with a leading Health and Fitness Training Company, sharing what I had learned from my 10 years in the industry. For 8 years I taught Sports Massage, Fitness and Personal Training courses until I established LifeCare Health, a place where I could bring everything together into a single facility.
Natural Energy Therapy
Having worked as a multi-discipline therapist for many years, I recognise that spiritual energy has an essential role in recovery/healing, wellbeing and enjoyment of living. It works to bring the mental, emotional and physical into balance, helps us find peace within and thereby improving the quality of day to day life. Working with the young and elderly, mums and mums-to-be, with those facing life-threatening illness or busy lives needing time out to recharge, Natural Energy Therapy works alongside current medical procedures and pharmacutical practices supporting side-effects, shocks and traumas.
Lifecoaching
Life coaching aims to help people identify habitual life patterns that may be holding a person back from becoming all they can be. It supports people on a journey of self discovery to their strengths and abilities which can include being happy and fullfilled at home or work, managing health conditions, reaching their full potental or achieving life ambitions.
Life Coaching helps you find the power within to confidently face difficult challenges and overcome emotional barriers.

Margaret Cavanna – Advanced EFT Practitioner and Reiki Master
EFT can support men and women in working through many situations to achieve greater wellbeing and contentment including:
* Stress and anxiety
* Times of transition
* Depression or lack of motivation
* Dealing with difficult medical diagnoses or pain
* Releasing long-held patterns which hold you back
* Facing uncertain times – connecting more deeply with your inner wisdom to move forward positively.
EFT combines ancient knowledge of the body’s energy system with modern psychology. You will learn a sequence of tapping on several acupressure points, mainly on the face and hands, whilst seated.
You will also be guided in using words and phrases relating to your situation to help shift emotional and energy blockages. Other techniques will be selected based on individual needs, all moving at a pace that is comfortable for you and focussing on what you wish for your future.
EFT will can then be used as self-help tool whenever you wish, although it is preferable to have help to navigate deeper work in a series of guided sessions.
First session: £65. Further sessions: £60. EFT followed by Energy Healing in a longer session: £70. Concessions can be offered.
Please call for a free 20 minute introductory chat.

Life Coaching – Imagine feeling clear, confident, and in control of your life. Life coaching helps you discover what truly matters, unlock your potential, and take inspired steps toward your goals.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) – NLP helps you understand the incredible connection between your thoughts, words, and actions. With simple yet powerful techniques, it allows you to shift old patterns, communicate more effectively, and create a mindset that supports the life you want.
Clinical Hypnotherapy – Through gentle relaxation and guided focus, hypnotherapy helps you reach the part of your mind where real, lasting change happens. It helps release unwanted beliefs, habits, emotions and behaviours replacing them with empowering, positive ones that support your wellbeing and growth.
By combining these three powerful disciplines in a programme designed just for you, I can help you achieve meaningful, lasting transformation, faster and more effectively than ever before.
Menopause Wellness Coaching – As a Menopause Wellness Coach I offer a supportive, holistic approach that empowers women to navigate the symptoms of menopause with confidence and balance, creating lasting improvements in physical health, emotional wellbeing, and overall quality of life.
