Tilly has lived in this part of England all her life, growing up in Herefordshire on her grandparent’s farm before studying Physiology at the University of Bristol.

After graduating, she went to on to study osteopathy at the European School of Osteopathy, Maidstone, Kent. She graduated from there in 1989 and returned to Herefordshire to work alongside Nicholas Handoll, where she expanded her knowledge of cranial osteopathy.

Since then Tilly has run her own practices, based first in Presteigne, then in Ludlow, and now here at the Wetmore Clinic.

Tilly treats patients of all ages from newborn babies and older children to the elderly, using a blend of classical and cranial osteopathy. She has spent many years further developing her cranial skills through courses at the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy.

In addition, she has a particular interest in shoulder care and has attended courses on the Niel-Asher Technique for frozen shoulder management as well as ICT1 and KT2 kinesio taping courses.

From an early age Ellie has been passionate and inspired by how physiotherapy can be used to promote physical well being and independence after requiring intense physiotherapy herself. 

 Since graduating from King’s College London in 2012, Ellie has worked in the private and NHS sectors and has become specialised in Neurological Rehabilitation. She has completed APPI Matwork courses 1 and 2 and the APPI Neurological Pilates course.

Ellie integrates her experience of working as a sports masseuse in the French Alps into her treatment and her knowledge of adapted Tai Chi exercises to create treatment programmes that are individualised and holistic. 

Ellie continues to develop her physiotherapy skills and aims to motivate individuals to achieve their physical goals. 

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if I can let them be… When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner”… I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”
Carl Rogers – founder of person-centred therapy.

Life can sometimes present us with challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed and confused. We can sometimes feel trapped, experiencing repetitive thought patterns without a clear solution in sight. Perhaps you are currently feeling low or lost; you may be going through a really difficult situation such as a separation, a redundancy, a health issue, or maybe you have recently lost a loved one and you are struggling to cope. It could be that you experienced a traumatic event, and you need a safe space to process what has happened to you. Whatever your situation, I am here to support you.

Being a therapeutic counsellor does not mean I have my life completely sorted! Like many others, I have experienced relationship difficulties, bereavement and trauma. I have felt low, anxious, unsure and lonely. I have been a client to another therapist, and so I know how it feels to be vulnerable; sharing difficult thoughts and feelings with another individual. My training has provided me with the skills and knowledge to work with you, and help you to process difficult thoughts and feelings.

It takes a lot of courage to seek help, so please be assured that whatever you choose to discuss in a session, it will be completely confidential and you will not be judged. My focus is on supporting and empowering you. I will meet you with warmth, kindness and understanding.

She is currently studying a BSc (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Warwickshire College. She volunteers for Serenity Counselling in Wolverhampton, whose primary focus is on supporting clients who have experienced trauma. She lives in Ludlow with her partner and their very active dog!

Louise is passionate about helping people feel better and move better. With a previous background spanning fine art, sales and retail, Louise decided to steer in a different career direction and begin a Bachelor of Osteopathy honours degree at University of Derby, in which she is in her penultimate year. This decision followed many years of positive experiences with Osteopathy, both personally and for her Husband and two young boys.

 With a Diploma in soft tissue manipulation, Louise uses a wide range of techniques to include massage, muscle energy techniques and joint articulation. Employing a holistic approach to treatment, Louise may also use harmonic technique, myofascial release or lymphatic drainage as appropriate. She is also a certified kinesiology taping practitioner which may be used if additional support or joint stabilization is required following an injury.
 ​
 Louise’s goal is to give patients the best possible experience with the highest quality of care and is committed to finding the best treatment for each individual in order to help them with their pain, discomfort, and tension.
