The Burma Road Practice was first established in London N16 in 1987 by Gina Barker and Su Fox, with the specific intention of providing high quality Counselling and Psychotherapy for individuals and partners in the London area.
Two other psychotherapists, Chris Shingler and John Slade, came shortly afterwards. Over the years we have been joined by other therapists and we now offer addiitionally, Supervision and Consultation services for Counsellors, Psychotherapists and Body therapists.
WHERE ARE WE
The Practice is situated in a quiet residential street near Clissold Park, London N16. The house itself provides a spacious, comfortable and welcoming environment, with three well appointed consulting rooms over the first and second floors.
We are now in a Residents' permit parking area. However there are still some free parking streets and visitor meters within a 5-10mins walk. We are served by the following buses which are close by: 73, 341, 141, 393, 476, 236. Canonbury station on the Silverlink Line is a 10 minute walk away. Arsenal, Manor House, Finsbury Park, and Highbury and Islington tube stations are also within reasonable walking distance.

Holistic - treating the person, not just the problem.
Personal - once you have contacted the therapist, you will be dealt with only by that person, not via receptionists or other staff.
Professional - all practitioners are either fully qualified, insured, registered, and accredited by nationally recognised bodies, or trainees under strict supervision by their reputable training organizations.
Punctual - provided you arrive on time for your appointment, you will be seen straight away.
Ethical - all therapists subscribe to nationally agreed codes of conduct and ethics, to protect clients from exploitation.
Confidential - client/patient confidentiality is maintained both outside and inside the Practice.

WHAT IS COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY?
In our hectic world the stresses of life can manifest in physical illness or ailment, in exhaustion or in tension or in strained relationships.
Counselling and Psychotherapy are ways of understanding and easing emotional, behavioural and psychological difficulties, usually by talking, over a period of time, to someone who is trained to listen and respond.
Counselling and Psychotherapy may help a you deal with specific problems or your whole life experience, and with difficulties in significant past or present relationships, (whether conscious or unconscious)..
FEES
These are arranged with your individual therapist, but are usually within the range of £35 - £70 for a 50 or 60 minute session. Initial Assessment interviews and placements cost £65.

Sunrise provides low cost homeopathic treatment for children from low income families on Saturday mornings only.
Who Can Come To The Clinic?
All babies, toddlers and children up to the age of 16. This includes children with severe disabilites, those who are hyperactive or can't concentrate, as well as those with glue ear, adolescent acne, asthma, hay fever, eczema, etc.
Who Will Be In The Consulting Room?
As this is a teaching clinic with students involved there will probably be 3 people in the room with you, one of whom will be an experienced homeopath.
What Is The Waiting Room Like?
Toys, books and colouring activities for toddlers and older children. There is space for your pram or pushchair. Cups of tea and biscuits are available for parents.
My Child Hates Going To The Doctor
You don't have to worry about injections or tests, there aren't any. Instead the homeopath will spend the hour getting to know your child and you. There will be lots of toys for your child to play with.
What Is The Medicine Like?
Remedies are given at the clinic or sent by post. The pills are easy to dissolve on the tongue and taste sweet. You don't have to pay any extra for them and there are no toxic side effects.
How Long Will Treatment Last?
If you bring your child for an acute illness like 'flu or measles, you may only need to see the homeopath once or twice. However, treatment for long standing health problems may require several appointments over a period of time. The aim of the homeopath is to create a steady and continuing improvement in your child's general health and well-being.
How Much Will It Cost?
There is a set fee of £10 for each consultation, although concessions are always available in cases of severe financial difficulty.
All homeopaths practising at Sunrise are doing so on a voluntary unpaid basis in order to make homeopathy more widely available to children whose families may not otherwise be able to afford it.
There is a very large demand for our services, so if after bringing your child for treatment, your financial situation improves, we would be grateful if you could discuss this with your homeopath to see if a more appropriate arrangement can be made. |
