Aurora Hammond is a mental health social worker, psychotherapist and energetic theta healer. She is also a gifted teacher, workshop presenter and facilitator of personal growth.
Aurora’s approach to counselling and psychotherapy could be described as unique. She works successfully with clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, family of origin issues and addictions.
After over 35 years of working as a social worker, counselor, university lecturer and psychotherapist Aurora is passionate about using new discoveries in neuroplasticity, mindfulness practices and even quantum physics in her current work.
She believes it is an exciting era in which to be involved in using the newest research and leading edge thinking alongside the wisdom of the ages. New research shows that ongoing specific therapeutic intervention can produce changes in the brain equivalent to brain surgery! Changing the brain changes peoples lives! When we learn that our challenging feelings and behaviours result from the way our brain has been formed and that it can be changed, feelings of blame and shame that can cripple our lives can be resolved.
“Changing the brain changes peoples
lives!”
