My name is Georgina Harte and I am a Holistic Therapist with a particular interest in mental health and emotional wellbeing.
I enjoy treating people who are at crossroads in their lives, or who are facing personal and / or emotional challenges and who seek support while they navigate their inner work.
"I have a toolbox of skills that I bring to my treatments which include Bodywork, Acupuncture and Therapeutic conversation; I also use Flower Remedies, Kinesiology techniques and can advise on diet and nutrition."

My career in Complementary and Alternative Therapies began in the late 1990’s when I lived in Taiwan and began seeing a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Herbs and Reflexology. She encouraged me to study some of the basic techniques of Reflexology and Bodywork and after leaving Taiwan I trained in Thai massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand. In 2000 I enrolled on a Complementary Therapy course in London, which gave me a foundation in various forms of western massage, as well as a formal qualification in Reflexology and Diet and Nutrition theory. I set up a practice at Planta Therapy Clinic in Crystal Palace in 2002 and was based there for a number of years. During this time I trained in other subjects, including Advanced Massage, Colon Hydrotherapy and Flower Remedies. I also spent two years as a student at the School of Insight and Intuition in Richmond.
The nature of body work is inherently intimate and what became clear to me was that many of my clients were needing help beyond the physical. Having already experienced for myself the benefits of Systematic Kinesiology and Australian Bush flower remedies, I undertook trainings in these subjects and incorporated them into my treatments. This proved to be pivotal for my practice, as I began attracting clients who were on a path of inner work and keen to use bodywork to help them on their journeys.
In 2011 I completed a Master's degree in Psychotherapy and Healing Practice from Middlesex University and around this time became a volunteer with Samaritans; I also started counselling children and adolescents in schools with Kids Company and Place 2 Be, which led me to work with young adults with mental health issues.

I took a sabbatical following the birth of my son and returned to study in 2018, completing an Acupuncture post-graduate diploma two years later.
