Richard Hallett
Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Somatic Release, Spiritual Coaching
Having worked now with a number of modalities, my focus is on weaving state of the art contemporary research with the ancient wisdom traditions, giving you the opportunity to have a deeper and more tangible experience of psychotherapy, personal growth and transformation. I feel most alive when I stand witness to those moments of awakening in another, gently blowing on embers of the soul until there is no choice but to ignite.
To do this I use a bespoke combination of cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion focused therapy, somatic release, compassionate inquiry and meditation. This is solution oriented therapy, a collaberative effort to transcend and include whatever keeps you stuck.
I will guide you to come into direct, visceral contact with the 'why' behind the 'what' of your life. Once we know that, I will arm you with the conscious and repeatable means to finally handle the darkness underneath that drives you. With this new ability, you free up capacity to uncover what matters most to you and walk the path that matters. Through closely analysing your behaviour and making surgical changes we can find out what is truly required to hold fast to a life of vitality, meaning and deep connection.

Tim Tse
Polarity Therapy/ Massage
Polarity Therapy is a system of energy balancing involving bodywork, counselling, therapeutic exercise and nutrition. It is based on the work of Dr. Randolph Stone who integrated his work as a Naturopath, Osteopath and Chiropractor with the eastern concepts of energy flow found in the Ayurvedic system of India, as well as the Chinese and Egyptian Hermetic System.
A session usually consists of about an hour of hands-on bodywork, involving a series of both light and deep contact to release the energy and allow it to re-establish a normal balanced flow. This results in deep relaxation, allowing for a release of tension and chronic pain and providing an opportunity for you to discover more about your mental and
emotional blocks and how to develop a healthy attitude toward life.
I believe it is possible to apply ancient natural healing science in a modern-day setting to the benefit of guests as part of a Wellbeing program.
