Complementary therapies

At the Olive Tree we offer a wide range of complementary therapies to support people affected by cancer. Complementary therapies are used alongside conventional treatments and are not an alternative. The therapies aim to help people to relax, reduce stress levels, alleviate the side effects of cancer treatments and enhance feelings of well-being. All of our therapists are fully qualified and insured.

Therapy sessions are available all through the week, including some evening appointments and Olive Tree members are entitled to 4 free treatments, after which we ask for a minimum donation of £5 per treatment if possible.

If the new member is a cancer patient, then the centre will undertake to seek assurances from the patient's GP, Oncologist or Consultant  before commencing ‘hands on’ therapy.

All members will be required to complete a health questionnaire before commencing any of our ‘hands on’ therapies.

All therapy sessions are booked via the centre manager or appointed volunteer and we ask members to let the centre know as soon as possible if they need to cancel an appointment.
