Stephen Thornton NMT

"I came to Stephen at a time when medical experts were offering me no reasons or treatments for acute pains in all limbs, in organs, the chest and muscles. I also was going through some life critical events – grieving, depression and a spiritual crisis, none of which I expected to “deal with” during my sessions with Stephen. I was simply drawn to KCR, not realising how powerful it would be. It was quickly apparent that Stephen takes a holistic approach; he doesn’t just work with signs, symptoms and themes, but with the whole person. He takes time to listen, to be gentle, he expresses authentic interest, he may be aware of the presenting issue but, without being intrusive, is always aware too that something gave rise to it. He was patient on the days I showed up but didn’t feel like having a treatment, he simply allowed me to talk, with deep acceptance. He gives “healing homework” ie exercises to do at home thus subtly emphasising that healing is about patients taking responsibility for their own health and well-being. He is constantly updating his own skills, experience, and practice – always a good sign. When in doubt, he consults with other professionals, including conventional doctors. All I can say is that after several yucky years of pain and lack of well-being, I am pain free, much more positive, and day on day feel more alive."
