Toni Buffham, Counsellor

Toni gained her CPCAB Diploma in Counselling from Wiltshire College. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and works to their code of ethics. She is currently working as a counsellor for Wiltshire Mind as well as in her own private practice.

"Emotional problems do not go away by trying to ignore them. In fact we are increasingly recognising the link between psychological and physical health. Suppressing strong emotions can lead to symptoms such as sleep disturbances, headaches, aches and pains in other parts of the body and lack of energy.

Counselling aims to bring about empowerment so that we can make the right choices for ourselves rather than being influenced by the outside world. It helps us to explore deep seated fears and anxieties, to gain understanding, increase self esteem and confidence so that we can live life more fully."

Live life in balance
Health is so much more than a lack of disease and includes more than what is happening to you physically. Health is a shifting balance which consists of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being. Our bodies are homeostatic, always trying to maintain an even internal environment, no matter what we throw at it, it is making millions of tiny adjustments constantly.
Managing the balance is the key, and small changes in habit or behavior will reap big benefits. Stress is a big factor in symptom production, some stress is necessary as it stimulates us to change and grow, too much and we get overwhelmed. You may be developing physical symptoms due to problems at work which you may not be able to immediately resolve; but you can mobilise your coping mechanisms. What fuels you? Time with your family? Gardening/exercise/church/community? It is very easy when the pressure is on to let these things lapse, but this is when you need them most. Quite often we cannot see why we are developing symptoms, which is where consulting a therapist can help.
Complementary therapists try to see where you are out of balance, from your posture, diet and lifestyle. We offer individually tailored treatment and guidance on what changes may help you to maintain your optimum health, wellbeing and balance.
