JANE BARTHOLOMEW
MIND-BODY THERAPIES
I am a Manchester based therapist, specialising in Stress & Burnout, Anxiety and Chronic Pain
I work with people of all ages, from very young children though to older adults, and will support you to find ease in your body and your mind, even when life feels overwhelming!
"Emotionally and mentally I feel so much stronger and I'm able to respond to both my own
problems and other people's in a much healthier, calmer, more capable way. My own sense of wellbeing has rocketed. "
Anna
You may feel physically or mentally exhausted, struggle to sleep, have high levels of tension or other physical symptoms, or react in ways that feel distressing. When your usual coping strategies no longer work, the weight of stress, anxiety or pain can make every day feel more challenging.
How I can help
Every person, situation and response is different so I carefully tailor my approach to the individual. With over 20 years of experience and training in the therapeutic field, I draw upon a range of approaches to support each person's unique needs and circumstances.
Whether you're looking for support for yourself or someone you care about, we can explore the best way forward together. This might involve combining different therapies or focusing on a single approach that feels most helpful.
You're welcome to get in touch to discuss this before arranging an initial appointment.
What you can expect in a session
Whether you are looking for deep relaxation and time out, or a more active approach to understanding your physical and emotional symptoms. I will help you build body awareness, develop useful techniques and exercises that are relevant to you, and implement practical strategies for moving forward, with resources provided to support you at home,
My Approach
Understanding how your mind and body are communicating can have a powerful impact on your physical and emotional wellbeing. By exploring your different nervous system states and breathing patterns, you can begin to shift the way that you think, feel and respond. You don't need to delve into everything that has happened in the past. Instead we will focus on what is happening now, how your experiences are held in the body and the connection between the body and the brain.
This holistic approach supports you to reduce anxiety, tension and physical symptoms, improve sleep and energy levels and increase emotional resilience.
Ways to work with me
Alongside 1:1 therapy, I offer group courses and educational workshops that provide practical tools and techniques you can use in everyday life or share with others.
I also run retreats as part of Equilibrio, creating space to restore balance, support your nervous system, and build helpful resources in a beautiful Spanish mountain setting.
