“To help others knowing and accepting the various aspects of ourselves is sometimes difficult. There are often areas we want to ignore or reject. Truly accepting all parts of ourselves as they are provides a climate in which transformation can take place.”

Meet Clarissa Martinez

Welcome to the intersection of clinical and alternative therapy. Hello my name is Clarissa Martinez and I am a Counsellor, Kinesiologist and Neurofeedback Therapist. You may have arrived here in search of support and clarity or to understand some issues that may have had a profound impact within your life. If you are looking for support and guidance through a challenging situation or you are just ready to move into a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

My professional life as a clinical counsellor began over 20 years ago. I realised talking was not enough to heal the issue working in a Neurofeedback Brain training clinic on children, adolescents and adults with a range of conditions for example PTSD, Complex Trauma (developmental), Autism, Asperger’s, Learning Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities, ODD, OCD, ADHD, Traumatic Brain Injury and Epilepsy. This is when I began to explore other therapies such as Sensorimotor Body Trauma Psychotherapy and Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy. I then came across Kinesiology an alternative healing modality, which is a central component to my practice. It works primarily in clearing blocked energy and sabotages via accessing the subconscious mind which addresses the ‘root’ core issues outside of our awareness. It is this unique blend which makes Kinesiology a holistic integrative approach through using a hybrid of modalities such as Chiropractic (Western), Chinese Medicine (Eastern), Nutrition, Counselling, Alternative medicine and much more.

Reflecting on my own journey kinesiology has been more of a ‘natural natural’ approach for me and has allowed me to assist helping others on a deeper level. Over the years, I have continually noticed that there is no ‘cookie cutter’ ‘one size fits all’ approach with healing and that everyone has different motivations for seeking extra help. For example, some individuals may be going through a major life transition (divorce or unemployment) whilst others may need assistance in managing other issues such as depression, spiritual blocks, relationship conflicts, trauma, sensitivities to foods or learning issues. Therapy can provide you the encouragement and tools to help you navigate through these difficulties so that you are able to make long-term sustainable changes within your life. I have always believed that the human body is a powerful tool and is the first point of contact or as I call it the ‘gateway’ to understanding who we are. The antidote is within everyone and with some assistance in a safe environment we can reconnect with our innate ability to self-heal.

I welcome you to make contact and ask questions. To learn more about what I do please feel free to visit the Kinesiology and Neurofeedback links below. I work one on one with adults at my practice located in Brighton. If you feel I am the right fit for you I look forward to working with you and facilitating change, I wish you all the best in your healing journey.
