The Personalised Consultation in Aromatherapy A Practitioner Guide

At the heart of any client care in aromatherapy is the therapeutic relationship. Nurturing a healthy and meaningful connection between a therapist and their client allows for a much more profound contribution to the success of any aromatherapy treatment. This evidence-based guide provides an in-depth explanation of the therapeutic alliance, and why connection in a technology dominated world is so important. It also offers practical guidance on how to foster a healthy relationship through active listening and somatosensory awareness. Emphasis is placed on making the client feel safe and at ease, and creating a bespoke practice based on flexibility, awareness, and understanding. Supplemented with case studies and clinical evidence, aromatherapists can benefit from real-life examples of unique client profiles that often involve important experiences and specific needs, such as menopause, pregnancy, trauma, and anxiety.
