FAQs | Alice Bowley MBR

How long are the sessions and how many will I need?

Each session is an hour long. At first they will be weekly then moving to fortnightly and monthly as you practice the techniques and develop new habits. Everybody is different so it varies greatly but most people need 8-12 sessions.

Can we meet in person?

I currently only offer online sessions via video calls on Google Meet.

Is this therapy?

It is in many ways a 'self guided therapy' and a course, as I will teach you techniques and guide you in a process of learning what you need- what everyone needs is different. It is not counselling, CBT or psychotherapy. It will involve talking about how you are feeling and taking steps to make positive changes to create a life that meets your needs- physically, mentally and emotionally.

Is this Mickel Therapy?

The MindBody Reconnect founder Clare Caldwell used to practice Mickel therapy but MBR has now evolved beyond Mickel Therapy incorporating the teachings of Gabor Mate and others.

Does MBR work for all ailments?

Reconnecting the mind and body can support the body to heal whatever you are experiencing, but you should always consult a doctor about your symptoms before coming to us. We specialise in chronic conditions.

How much does it cost?

Sessions are priced on a sliding scale according to need to acknowledge financial inequality. This is done on a trust basis so you can self-select your rate:

Concessionary rate*: £70 - for those with currently limited financial resources (if you have been unable to work for a long period, are receiving state benefits and have minimal savings or live in a country with a lower average income).

Standard rate: £90 - for those with sufficient funds and can pay fair value for the experience (for example, you have or have recently had a job or have savings/ inheritance).

Rebalancing rate: £110 - for those with more than enough financial resources who would like to support access for others (for example, have a secure job and savings/ inheritance or live in a country with a higher average income).

* These spaces are limited so there could be a wait for sessions at this rate.

If money is a barrier to you accessing this support then please get in touch so that we can discuss possible options.
