Women’s Health

Modern medical research has shown that women respond to health and illness differently to men. Women’s health is affected by a multitude of factors: family, relationships, work, spiritual values and community. For women to gain the most from healthcare, that care must be gender focused and offer regular assessment, education and intervention when necessary. Women’s health clinics and practitioners are emerging as the most effective way to offer the necessary care.

At Clinica Medicare we offer you a full healthcare service designed for women at all stages of their life’s, from sexual health and contraception, to menopause management. A full assessment will be made regarding your health and any intervention necessary will be planned with you. As a multi-disciplinary clinic we have a team that includes a G.P and a gynaecologist, as well as advisors on alternative therapies.

Counselling

Counselling is designed to help people who wish to make changes in their life by offering a confidential and supportive space where issues can be tackled and areas of concern discussed. Counselling is not an advisory service. It is an opportunity to make sense of your individual circumstances with a therapist who helps identify the choices for change, and supports you during the process of change chosen. The end result should leave you better equipped to cope with the future.

Talking treatments can help you to overcome emotional difficulties and free yourself from self-destructive ways of feeling, thinking and behaving. They work by providing an opportunity for you to talk in a way that assists you to understand yourself better. Having gained this understanding, you can work out ways of living your life in a more positive and constructive way. Everything you discuss is confidential between you and the counsellor.

Dyslexia Assessment

The purpose of assessment is to ascertain whether the students are failing, and to what degree, compared with their peers. If they are behind expected levels, it is necessary to establish whether this is due to overall low ability, physical factors such as hearing or sight difficulty or a repeated absence due to illness, emotional or social factors, such as family problems, bereavement, or frequent changes of school, or whether the student has a specific learning difficulty.

It is important to remember that more than one factor may be at work in an individual. For example, a failing child who has frequent absences due to asthma attacks may also have a hearing loss or a specific learning difficulty. Differential diagnosis in such cases, as in the case of bilingual children or those for whom English is not the mother tongue, is a delicate and specialised task.

Yoga Classes

YOGA The word yoga means union. Union of mind and body into stillness. Yoga invites us to harmonize our body, breath and mind as a way to experience wakefulness and compassion in our daily lives. The path of hatha yoga involves physical exercises that enhance our cardiovascular system, strengthen our muscles, improve our digestive activity and cleanse our entire body. It also includes breathing exercises that soothe our nervous system and meditation that develops mental clarity.

The combination of these three aspects results in a sense of well being, confidence, openheartedness and patience. Yoga is an ideal form of exercise for everybody. It is not competitive. Anyone can practice it, irrespective of age, race or religion. Take a holiday from stress and competition and join one of our yoga classes.

Meditation Groups

Meditation is an exercise, aiming to prevent thoughts in a natural way, by deeply relaxing the physical body and then trying to keep the mind completely "blank" with no thoughts whatsoever. This state may be maintained for a few seconds or a few hours, depending on your skill. Purity of the mind achieved during meditation is essential to gain access to Higher Self. It seems that our Higher Self does not admit any impurities.

Alternative Therapies
