A beautiful quote from Thich Nhat Hanh. For me, CST is 'compassionate listening'.

🌿 Craniosacral Therapy: A Gentle Path Back to Balance
In a world that moves fast, it is easy for the body to fall into stress, tension, and overwhelm. Craniosacral Therapy (CST) offers a calm, restorative space for the body to settle, release, and reconnect with its natural vitality.

✨ What is CST?
Using an extremely light touch, CST helps the body ease deep tension held in the tissues, fascia, and nervous system. Many people describe sessions as deeply relaxing and grounding.

💛 How it supports you:
• Encourages the nervous system to shift from stress to rest
• Helps ease long-held tension and restrictions
• Supports better sleep, mood, and energy
• Creates space for emotional release and inner calm
• Works beautifully alongside counselling, yoga, meditation, massage, and other therapies

CST is suitable for all ages and offers a gentle but powerful way to support your wellbeing from the inside out.

College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CCST)

When we talk about health, most people focus on the physical: posture, digestion, or even stress management. But Cranio-sacral Therapy(CST) invites us to listen more deeply—to the emotional imprints held in the body’s tissues and organs.
Eastern medicine teaches that every organ resonates with specific emotions. CST helps us connect with these subtle patterns and release what’s been held beneath the surface.
Take the lungs, for example: grief and sadness can lodge here, restricting movement and vitality. In a CST session, you might feel a softening in this area—not just physically, but emotionally. The body begins to let go.
Did you know your emotions can deeply impact your organs? 👀
▪️In Chinese medicine, each organ is linked to a core emotion:
🫁 Lungs — Grief and sadness. Unprocessed grief can weaken lung Qi and interrupt the natural rhythm of release.
🫀 Heart — Joy and love. Imbalance here—too much or too little emotion—can cause inner dissonance.
⚡️ Liver — Anger and frustration. Held anger can stagnate liver Qi, affecting both emotional and physical flow.
🤒 Spleen — Worry and overthinking. Chronic worry depletes energy and can show up as fatigue or digestive issues.
⚠️ Kidneys — Fear and anxiety. Fear drains kidney Qi, reducing resilience and grounding.
In Cranio-sacral Therapy, we gently contact the body’s intelligence, offering it the chance to release what it no longer needs—physically, emotionally, and energetically.
So if you’re feeling tightness, fatigue, or imbalance, it may not just be structural. Ask yourself:
What emotion might this area be holding onto?

In this book, I wanted to explore questions such as; what is the difference between fear and excitement and how can you tell them apart? How do the mind and body make emotions? And, when can anxiety be good?

In my clinical practice, I’ve seen that understanding how anxiety is created by our nervous system trying to protect us, and how our fight-or-flight mechanisms can get stuck, can significantly lessen the fear experienced during anxiety attacks.

The book aims to explain anxiety in an easy-to-understand, engaging graphic format with tips and strategies to relieve its symptoms, and change the mind’s habits for a more positive outlook.

I really appreciated this review from Dr Peter Nevins:

'With great erudition and wit Steve manages to condense philosophical thought, neurological research and psychological thinking into a fabulous tool for re-conceptualising are experience of this bane of modern life – anxiety.

Psychoanalysts and others working with people experiencing anxiety will benefit from reflecting on this book and sharing it with their patients.'
