Self-Therapy Made Easy (Psyche Books, 2012)

“In this era of a bewildering proliferations of therapies, it is refreshing in the extreme to find a book designed for the beginner that is firmly grounded in the time-honoured tradition. It is a rare combination to find simple and accessible wisdom, professional expertise, and wit and humour. The writer has achieved the difficult balance of offering serious support without taking herself too seriously.”
 ~Tony Conway, Homeopath, Psychotherapist, Teacher.
