We have a Health Improvement Practitioner (HIP) attached to our practice. Her name is Amanda. Amanda works, Wednesday and Friday.
A HIP supports individuals experiencing stress or any problem impacting their health and well-being. This may include lifestyle changes, difficulties with sleep, anxious thoughts, low mood, chronic pain, relationships, parenting and addiction. Sessions last between 20 -30 minutes. Some people attend a one-off session, others come back for follow up sessions.
Discuss with your doctor or call reception to book an appointment. Same day appointments are available.
Amanda has started a walking group:
The Group will start on:
