Catriona Mason, RM BSc (Hons), BA (Hons) HG.Dip.P, MHGI

I have a diverse knowledge and experience of working in the field of health that allows me to have an intuitive, holistic and integrated understanding of the mind/body connection and how our physical state directly impacts our state of emotional well-being. I am a registered HG Therapist and a member of the HG Institution which is accredited by The Professional Standards Authority. I hold three nursing qualifications in mental health, general adult health. I am a registered Midwife with the NMC specialising in all areas of perinatal mental health particular birth trauma, pregnancy loss, fertility issues and postnatal depression. I am also a graduate in Social Anthropology with honours. In total I have 30 years experience of working and supporting adults and children in health and education settings and a wealth of experience in working with people who have physical and mental health issues. I am a qualified Yoga teacher currently working in a 1:1 therapy setting with my clients focussing on Yoga's benefits to mental and physical well being, to improve posture, relieve pain, to lift low mood, relieve anxiety, release tension and use breath to learn ways to relax. ​ I work freelance for an organisation that provides support for the frontline workers including paramedics, fire fighters, nurses and teachers. I am a registered and approved therapist with a charity who support veterans with Post Traumatic Stress disorder. Using the HG approach and tools, I will endeavour to support you in restoring balance so you can feel better quickly using your own resources to build stronger resilience for the future. This will enable you to manage your life more effectively, calmly so feel more in control. HG is a brief and solution focussed therapy. The sessions are not designed to be long term. The intention is to work with you to achieve the outcomes you want in a brief time-frame with sessions set around your goals so you can move on fully equipped for the next chapter. Whatever your needs may be, as your therapist I will offer support in finding ways to change your current patterns which may no longer be working for you. Together we will find ways to balance your physical and emotional needs, alleviating distress and so bringing you a better quality of life. My area of special interest is women's health, from menarche to menopause and in particular perinatal mental health. This encompasses areas where difficulty has been experienced before birth, during birth or after the birth. The timeline is without limit. This means clients can come many years after the impacting event or difficulties have happened. I welcome all enquiries from anyone in need of emotional support with the aim of treating clients as quickly and as effectively as possible. I will endeavour to reply to your enquiry as quickly as possible. Make contact and feel better soon
