Welcome to Highgate Holistic Clinic
Complementary Health Centre
At Highgate Holistic Clinic, we are a team of complementary medicine practitioners who are passionate about what we do. We believe that sometimes modern medicine doesn’t offer a comprehensive enough approach to our health issues and too often only treats symptoms instead of root causes.
As human beings, we are more than our symptoms, our mind and body are intrinsically connected, and most of the time when we suffer from a specific issue, whether physical or emotional, there’s more to it than we think. It could involve our lifestyle, our stress levels, our emotional well-being etc. So in order to heal from physical and mental discomfort, or simply in order to improve our well-being we need to look at ourselves as a whole – not as different unrelated parts.
This is why at Highgate Holistic Clinic we offer a wide range of natural therapies practiced by highly qualified and experienced practitioners whose dedication and passion contributes to a holistic approach in healing. We all work together as a team to offer the best treatments to our clients. Each of us believe in the importance of finding the right approach and we don’t hesitate to refer you to one of our colleagues if we feel you would benefit more from their personal techniques.
The purpose of Highgate Holistic Clinic is to offer a one stop shop for health and well-being, where you’ll find everything you’re looking for. All our practitioners are fully insured and have been carefully selected to offer the best quality of services and a warm, welcoming and trustworthy environment.
We aim to offer a comprehensive range of holistic treatments to address any emotional and physical ailment via a gentle approach that respects the natural balance of the body.

Katerina Georgiou
Gestalt Counselling
katerina@kgcounsellor.comGestalt is an effective way of getting to better understand how people view us and how we impact them. Through observing patterns in the therapy room, we can witness in the immediate present how we impact each other, and practise and experiment with ways of behaving and talking in a safely contained, confidential space without any fear of repercussions. Gestalt therapy can at times feel more experimental than other types of talking therapies. Depending on what comes up, we might use props and objects in the room, partake in visualisation exercises, work with dreams, use art, drawing, role-play, music or movement to explore feelings and even place those feelings in different locations and chairs in the room. Or we may just simply focus on talking. Where many talking therapies focus on what you say, Gestalt therapy takes into account your use of words, body language, somatic experience, bodily sensations and feelings as well as thoughts and emotions. Sessions can in some moments feel spontaneous, even at times playful; at other times, sessions may feel more reflective with dialogue between us. I respond to you and what you bring. There is a focus on the here-and-now experience where we use what comes up in the moment as a springboard for where the session will go. My intentions are to support you to develop insights and draw connections for yourself – throughout, you remain the expert in your own life.
Ultimately, my aim is not to interpret what you do or say or to define who you are, but to support you to define yourself. I focus on raising your self-awareness and awareness of how you relate to others, facilitating you to get to the crux of your underlying feelings and the core of who you are and what you want when you remove society’s expectations out of the equation.

Integrative and Gestalt psychotherapist
therapy@heatherwilson.ukHeather is an experienced therapist and UKCP accredited psychotherapist working one-to- one with individual adults, and also leading therapy groups. She has worked with the NHS as a therapist, is part of Age UK Camden Counselling and therapy team and for some time was a member of cabinet of international therapists outside the UK, as well as her private practice. Humanistic, Integrated and Gestalt psychotherapy are at the heart and focus of her practice with clients. She is a veteran of international arena of executive coaching and in some ways her practice is built on her considerable past experience in the development of individual potential and growth. Experience has proved to her that in therapy a holistic approach to healing is vital for growth and change and is achieved through understanding how we live and relate to others in terms of our emotional, cognitive, bodily, social and ‘spiritual’ needs.
My Approach
I provide a safe and respectful space for you and I to explore difficult feelings and gain enhanced awareness of how past and present relationships, break-ups, grief or traumas may be affecting you from day to day.
Bringing in therapeutic and life experience, I will support you in a creative process in which you may find new perspectives on your situation and your self. New insight into your wants, feelings, thoughts, ambivalences and needs can in itself bring about change.
As our work progresses your heightened awareness will help identify patterns of response which you may wish to abandon giving you different choices going forward. This awareness promotes renewed energy, influences your motivation and supports recovery.
I consider the therapeutic relationship in the present moment (or how you and I work together) as an essential constituent to the healing and change process. I offer a no-cost 15 minute phone call for you to ask questions about me or my practice before arranging an initial assessment session.
In the assessment session we will explore your current difficulties, some brief history and what aims you have and changes you hope to make. This will also be an important opportunity to check how well you and I could work together. Depending on your situation therapy can be a long-term process of several years, or perhaps you may have a short-term need which may just span a limited period of 12-15 weeks. I work face to face and online.
Availability: Wednesdays afternoons and evenings. Other dates and times are variable so please enquire.
Fees: One-to-One (weekly) range from £60 to £80 (with concessions on a sliding scale)
Therapy Groups: please enquire
