Holistic Treatments At Westbourne
Havening
Havening is a gentle, neuroscience-based technique designed to help release emotional distress, reduce anxiety, and support healing from trauma. At Westbourne Medical Studios, we offer Havening as part of our holistic approach to emotional wellbeing—providing a calm and supportive environment where lasting change can take place.
Using soothing touch combined with guided visualisation and calming techniques, Havening helps to de-link emotional responses from distressing memories stored in the brain. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with anxiety, phobias, stress, or the lingering impact of traumatic events.
Each session is tailored to your individual needs, creating a safe space where you can process emotions at your own pace. Havening is gentle, empowering, and deeply calming—supporting a renewed sense of ease, clarity, and resilience across mind and body.

Meet The Team
Helen Skinner
Hypnotherapist
Over 13 years ago, I experienced a truly empowering hypnobirth that changed the way I viewed the mind-body connection—and inspired me to train in Natal Hypnotherapy. That journey led me to study the wider applications of hypnotherapy, and I went on to earn a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and an Advanced Certificate in Hypnosis for Behavioural Change.
Since qualifying, I’ve supported clients across a broad range of emotional and behavioural concerns, including during my time at a busy psychology and counselling clinic in Singapore. Now based in the UK, I continue to work with individuals and couples on everything from anxiety and low mood to fertility, birth preparation, and trauma recovery.
I have a particular interest in maternal health and frequently support those navigating unexplained infertility, IVF journeys, birth preparation, or postnatal trauma. Whatever the focus, my priority is creating a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and ready to move forward.
Each session is tailored to you, drawing from the latest neuroscience and therapeutic techniques. Alongside hypnotherapy, I’m also a certified Havening Practitioner and mBIT Professional Coach—modalities that blend modern research with timeless wisdom to help rewire limiting beliefs and unlock positive change.
Transformation doesn’t have to be hard. With the right tools and guidance, it can be gentle, creative, and truly life-changing. Whether you’re seeking emotional resilience, clarity, confidence, or relief from long-standing issues, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strength and reprogram the unconscious patterns that are no longer serving you.
Please feel free to reach out—I’d love to support you on your path to healing and renewal.

Thai Nerve Touch Therapy
Thai Nerve Touch Therapy is a deeply healing treatment rooted in the traditional medicine schools of Northern Thailand. Evolving from the foundations of Thai massage, this therapy places a greater emphasis on working with the body’s energy lines—known as meridians—through precise acupressure, rhythmic compression, and gentle stretching techniques.
Performed while you are fully clothed and comfortably lying on a futon, this therapy is designed to relax the nervous system, improve circulation, and restore energetic flow throughout the body. Each session is tailored to your needs, offering a calm and grounding experience that supports both physical and emotional wellbeing.
Free Your Voice
At Westbourne Medical Studios, Free Your Voice is a unique and empowering session led by Dr Veronica—a passionate musician, semi-professional singer, and dedicated clinician. Based on the belief that everyone has a voice and everyone can sing, this session is about more than vocal technique—it’s about self-expression, emotional release, and reconnecting with your true self.
Working with specialist breathing, vocal, and sound practices, you’ll be guided to gently explore and ‘free’ your voice. The throat is home to the fifth energy centre (the throat chakra), and when energy becomes stuck here—through unexpressed emotion or feeling unheard—it can affect our wellbeing. This session helps release those energetic blocks in a safe, joyful way.
Homeopathy
Our Homeopathy sessions provide a truly individualised healing experience. Our dedicated Homeopath delves into your mental, emotional, and physical state, prescribing a remedy uniquely suited to your spectrum of symptoms. Embracing the principle of 'like cures like', our treatments are carefully diluted and potentised, tailored to treat a wide array of conditions.
Whether you're seeking relief from physical ailments or psychological challenges, homeopathy offers a complementary approach, enhancing your well-being and empowering you alongside conventional medicine. Experience this gentle, nurturing journey towards balance and health, in a space of trust and understanding.
