If you are experiencing
paindiscomfortlack of functionin the hand or fingers, then you may need to see a specialised hand therapist.
Hand physiotherapy is designed to improve function, range of movement and decrease pain following an injury or surgery to the hand or wrist.
Hand therapy can involve a variety of techniques, including exercises, massage, manual therapy and sometimes the use of splinting.
Splinting is a technique that is used to immobilize or protect bones or joints in order to promote healing. It involves the use of a rigid splint, which is made to measure and is typically made from plaster or fiberglass, to hold the affected limb in place. Splinting is often used in conjunction with other treatments, such as physiotherapy, to help patients regain mobility after an injury.
Hand therapists work closely with patients to customize a treatment plan that meets their specific needs and goals. A hand therapist has a high level of specialisation and requires advanced post-graduate qualifications. They often work alongside surgeons and plan and implement post operative care to ensure improved outcomes.

Life can be challenging and we can sometimes lose our way or become stuck. Therapy is a unique opportunity to take a look into how we navigate our lives and how this may affect us, our relationships, our motivations and fears. My philosophy and practice focuses on helping people to develop a deeper understanding of themselves. In my practice you are welcomed to a supportive space, where you are able to explore and understand your feelings and emotions at your own pace and without judgement. Gaining this knowledge and conscious awareness enables personal development, growth and change.
It is very much a collaborative process with the mutual goal of working to establish pathways to achieve positive change and wellbeing. My approach to therapy is integrative which means that I work using various psychotherapeutic disciplines such as, Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, CBT, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, Narrative and Creative Therapy. We are all different and unique in the way we think, feel and behave. Having a range of methods to draw upon allows me to tailor the way I work to meet your individual needs.
I have extensive experience in working with a wide range of difficulties on a short or long term basis with adults, children, young people and couples. Such challenges can range from self -esteem, anxiety and stress, depression, bereavement, trauma, addiction, relationship breakdown, and all forms of abuse. I am a registered member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
If you would like to discuss anything in more detail, please email me to arrange a free initial and confidential telephone call.

Welcome to Dr. Nair Homeo House, a sanctuary dedicated to the principles of holistic healing through homeopathy. At the heart of my practice is the Law of Individualization, a foundational tenet of homeopathic science, which guides our approach to patient care. Being a third generation homeopath. I prioritise a thorough understanding of each patient as a whole—considering the mind, body, and life circumstances—thereby fostering a non-judgmental space where individuals feel comfortable to share their concerns openly.
The meticulous case-taking process involves assessing each patient within the context of their current and past physical and emotional health. This allows me to prescribe homeopathic remedies that are precisely tailored to each individual, activating the body’s inherent healing capabilities and facilitating a gentle yet effective return to health.
As a qualified and registered homeopath with extensive experience, I specialise in supporting teenagers and young adults through complex challenges such as addictions, anxiety, anger, phobias, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and mood disorders.
Additionally, I have a robust background in treating chronic pain conditions including neck pain, back pain, neuralgia, fibromyalgia, migraines, and various dermatological issues such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, hives, dermatitis, keratosis ,lichen planus and allergies.
Committed to making high-quality healthcare accessible, I offer competitive rates and a sliding scale fee structure based on income, with special discounts available for students.
