Spencer is an incredible healer and very skilled therapist. He confidently identifies problem to help find solutions and options, same time overcome challenge’s with many different skills and techniques. Very good listener and always make you feel comfortable. He approach to work calm with good listening and caring in holistic way. I’m a Spencer’s client since 2014 where I have suffered from slipped disc in my neck, doctors offered a surgery. Someone recommended me acupuncture so I have intuitively find Spencer in the website. I’ve been healed after 5 sessions incl practising meditation and my lifestyle has been changed in positive way. Since that time, I’ve been coming back to have a treatments and he is always welcome with availability to book an appointments. I’m so glad and strongly recommend!
Suffering with symptoms of IBS for well over 10 years and having tried various elimination diets, medication, intolerance tests through my gp etc etc, acupuncture seemed to be the last option to me. About a year ago someone recommended me to go and see Spencer, as I was looking for a new acupuncturist, and I could not be happier how the treatments went. The results as I like to say, were life changing! Spencer is very professional and kind and can highly recommend him.
I have had sessions with Spencer over the past 4-5 years. I cannot recommend talking to him enough. His kindness and willingness to help is the best! Previous to talking to Spencer I had seen 7 different therapists (mainly counsellors), none of which helped me. And even just one session with Spencer helps 10 fold! Invest in talking to Spencer for just 1 hour and you will not regret it!
I found Spencer during a very difficult year. I always left my sessions with a clearer sense of my purpose and ideas on how to handle the challenges I was navigating. I have found his particular blend of spiritual and practical counsel to be exactly what I needed on many occasions, and the notes I took during our sessions have become a valuable resource now I am no longer in London. I found Spencer managed to offer me in one session specific tools that covered a range of subjects, making the value for money factor high, as I may well have had to seek out several people to get the same content. This does not mean that there was a lack of a sense of wholeness to his work, as the width of his skills was balanced by a clear sense of his own journey and sense of direction and purpose. I hope that this review will provide the reader with the confidence to work with Spencer as I feel he is doing valuable work and has a lot to offer. I know that if I find myself in need of support whilst in London he will be my first port of call.
Spencer supported me through professional and personal decisions in a period of great change and helped me see things clearly in a time when everything felt overwhelming. It was a very enriching exchange about finding approaches and solutions to thoughts and challenges. Spencer irradiates calm and patience, he is a natural listener and his friendly disposition immediately makes you feel comfortable. I would recommend him to anyone!
I suffered from Chronic Back pain and sciatica for almost 2 yrs, Spencer has been an invaluable part of my healing and I cant rate him highly enough, in short, he's amazing! I had tried every type of treatment to fix my back (physio, steriod injections, pilates, I was even about to have surgery), I finally accepted that my pain was completely due to repressed emotions, anxieties and anger and that I had to change and find someone to help me explore my 'mind' to heal my body. Spencer is that person! He is incredibly intuitive, the moment you walk in the door you know you are in the hands of someone exceptionally gifted. He made me feel so calm and within a few sessions I have learnt so much and my pain is almost gone. My self esteem, my confidence and my optimism are now double what they were, with just a few sessions. Spencer is so easy to listen to, so articulate and so intelligent but so modest and gentle. I come away from every session feeling fantastic and cant thank or praise him enough. The best money I ever spent.
I went to see Spencer to treat my long standing chronic insomnia. Spencer has the ability to make you feel at ease and open up completely, all this within minutes of meeting him. Amongst the therapies used was acupuncture and a herbal tincture, both of which I found very effective.
I initially sought out Spencer as I was suffering from IBS and lingering anxiety (after recovering from an eating disorder). After being given only prescription meds by my GP and not not being able to tackle the situation on my own, I knew I needed help. From the start Spencer has been comprehensive and thorough in his approach. For the past 5 months I have been receiving acupuncture and counselling, AND I am seeing long-desired improvements. My gut issues have reduced noticeably, and my once destructive anxiety is something I am now able to cope with. I'd recommend Spencer wholeheartedly. He has been incredibly helpful, kind, and so far the only practitioner to effectively tackle the problems I have been experiencing.
Spencer helped me work through some very hard decisions with work and relationships. He offered guidance and created a state of mind where I had clarity of thought. He had clear goals and end points and did a far, far better job than several Harley St psychologists who I had seen previously.
I initially visited Spencer with a chronic IBS problem after countless and hopeless visits to my GP and numerous negative tests. After just a few acupuncture sessions the pain subsided and a few more visits revealed the answer to be a lot more holistic in nature. He took time focus on other factors which though seemingly unconnected, helped untangle a lot of anxiety which helped contribute to the condition. With additional help with diet and basic meditation there's been no further resurgence of the problem. I'm also sleeping better too! I remember looking forward each session and a profound sense of well being afterwards. He's a very patient and knowledgable guy who I'd wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking help with similar problems.
In early 2013 I set aside the time and money to have regular sessions with Spencer. I initially went to see him for one specific reason, what happened over the months we worked together was a profound shift in the way I approach many aspects of my life. I cannot recommend Spencer highly enough.
I have been coming to see Spencer for a few years now. Normally we are working on stress management. I have found his physical treatments to be effective but more importantly I use the sessions to discuss approaches to living. These discussions have been a catalyst to some profound changes in my life. I will be continuing to visit Spencer as long as he is around, whether it be to manage stress, illness or any other of lives difficulties that may come my way.
I had been troubled by a severe cough for some weeks, when I booked a session of acupuncture with Spencer Joseph. After one treatment, there was a dramatic improvement. That evening I was free of the cough for the first time in weeks. Seven days later, the effect has not worn off. The acupuncture was more long-lasting than the inhaler I had been prescribed by my GP. Very grateful.
After getting adult Chicken Pox I thought things weren't too bad until my ability to sleep was completely destroyed. I saw two doctors who prescribed every imaginable sleeping pill but they made no difference. After trying different cocktails of those pills, meditation, exercise and still finding no solution I became really desperate and at that point a friend recommended Spencer. With the first session he was able to get my sleep back on track and things just got better from there. He didn't just use acupuncture but also gave me help with my diet, lifestyle and suggestive hypnosis. Spencer helped myself with sleep but I have told a few friends with different problems to see him and he's been able to help. I would definitely recommend him.
As someone who works in the medical profession I was cagey about hypnotherapy. I have suffered from anxiety (mild-moderate) for some years and unfortunately earlier this year I became so unwell I attended A+E on 2 seperate occasions with severe anxiety attacks- racing heart, palpitations and issues with my gut (as you can imagine). I was investigated for everything! My heart, kidneys etc. I myself was convinced there was something truly wrong with my body as I had never had anxiety to this extent before. I had lost nearly 10kg. I was left with the shakes, heart flutters, continuing gut issues and couldnt bare being around anyone. The decision to see Spencer was probably the best decision I have ever made. Within 2 sessions I felt calmer and my symptoms started to subside. By 6 sessions I felt like a new person. I still meditate every evening, you do feel a bit silly at first but it works I promise!I will continue to see spencer now and again, if I feel my symptoms returning. Mental health is an important thing to invest in, anxiety can control your life, hypnotherapy can help you control your anxiety. Please dont hesitate if you have been suffering, its important to know you can feel normal again.Thank you so much spencer.Moreexpand_more
Spencer is a brilliant therapist who helped my teenaged daughter to overcome M. E. , a chronic condition from which she had been suffering for several years. I particularly liked the way he encouraged her to take responsiblity for her own health. He is extremely versatile, highly skilled and also warm and approachable. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
When I first started having sessions at Body Therapeutics, my list of conditions was extensive. Insomnia, anxiety, depression, PCOS, bulimia, panic attacks and very poor digestive and immune systems. Within a month of my treatment I started experiencing some profound changes. Within two months, my entire life was completely transformed. I have now fully recovered from all my mental health problems, and my physical health has never been better. I had been suffering from these conditions since my teens and had made little progress through NHS care. I was sceptical as to whether or not Body Therapeutics would work for me, and had began to believe that I would always have to struggle through life. As soon as I met Spencer, however, I knew that I had made the right decision. He is so patient and understanding and the atmosphere in his clinic is always welcoming and relaxed. I find him to be personable, good humoured and exceptionally wise and I honestly don't think I could ever have achieved this level of happiness and wellbeing without him. I was also lucky enough to attend Spencer's workshop 'The Art and Science of Wellbeing. ' This was a full day practical guide to integrated East-West practices, in which a wide variety of approaches to health and happiness were explored. The teachings were profound but accessible and I came away feeling deeply inspired and uplifted, with a whole new set of skills to use in my every day life. I have a lot to thank Spencer for and will continue to recommend him to everyone I meet. A truly remarkable practioner!.Moreexpand_more
I have been struggling to cope with anxiety/panic attacks for many years. I was finding it hard to cope with normal day to day living without having anxiety which was beginning to make me feel rather depressed and ruining my life. I feared everything and anything! Even getting on a train or being on a bus was hard for me. I started therapy with Spencer and only after 3 sessions I felt like a different person. Spencer is brilliant at what he does, he makes you feel comfortable, listens to what you have to say and is very understanding. Not only did he teach me how to cope with my anxiety and fears but he also taught me about the psychological side of anxiety and why it was affecting me. This helped me to understand more about my myself and I have found everything to be extremely interesting. I would highly recommend Spencer as you will not be dissapointed. He has really helped to change my life and I will continue to have therapy with Spencer whenever I feel I may need it. I can't thank him enough, I always leave the session feeling positive which is something I haven't felt in a long time and I feel like I can now start to get on with my life.Moreexpand_more
