Allison has been practicing on the Barbican as a Clinical Aromatherapist for over ten years.

At BTC we have a dedicated team of professionally qualified and experienced therapists who provide a high standard of quality complementary and alternative health care.

BTC grew from the recognition of the need for a Therapy Centre offering a range of alternative and holistic therapies that recognise the importance of working with the whole person, including all aspects of a person’s well being, addressing physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual.

BTC: What are our Values?

The Barbican Therapy Centre provides a wide variety of alternative therapies and approaches. Each therapy is offered by qualified and experienced practitioners who have been chosen for their expertise, professionalism and good reputation.

The diversity of alternative therapies and practitioners will be held together by a shared belief in humanistic principles, founded on respecting and honouring the uniqueness of each person.

Carl Rogers’ humanistic values of genuineness, empathy and unconditional positive regard will inform all therapies and be present in the warm and welcoming environment of BTC.

People often get wrapped up in work, relationships, running busy family lives etc., and end up neglecting themselves. Our aim at the BTC is to offer people a place to stop and consider how to nourish themselves through using the alternative therapies 
we offer.

The aim of BTC is to offer access to promote emotionally healthy lifestyles within a warm, friendly, professional environment by providing ethical and effective therapy.
