What Is Reiki Therapy?

What Is Reiki Therapy?: Reiki is an alternative energy healing technique that originated in Japan. The creator and first practitioner of Reiki was Mikao Usui, a renowned Tendai Buddhist, in the early 1900s.

Reiki practitioners (also called ‘reiki healers’) lay their hands on you gently (sometimes called ‘palm healing’ or ‘hands-on healing’), or hover them above you to direct the flow of universal energy and stimulate your body’s natural healing abilities.

Because it works on the entire self – mind, body and emotions – it may be useful for you in all types of physical and emotional problems and mental and spiritual healing issues. According to therapy practitioners, energy can stagnate in your body where there has been physical injury or even emotional pain. Over time, these energy blocks can cause illness. Over time reiki therapy is used to help you become more actively involved in your own health

You might feel deeply relaxed after reiki healing, and some people experience sensations like tingling, warmth, or seeing colours or patterns.

HQ Wellbeing Therapists Working With Reiki Therapy

Reiki therapy sessions usually last for about 50 minutes, your therapist will work with you to discover what help you need before you start, and during the treatment you will be lying down, usually covered with a blanket. They will then gently place their hands palms-down on, or just above, your body in specific energy locations.

Below is a selection of our current wellbeing therapists who are fully trained to work with clients seeking Reiki Therapy using different types of therapy modalities and a wide range of techniques.

Choosing the right therapist is an important decision for you and it is important that you work with the right practitioner and that both feel comfortable working together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Reiki Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.
