Spencer Joseph

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!

Spencer is amazing - I started going to Spencer years ago when I reacted badly to a Hep A booster. He really listened to me at a time when other healthcare professionals were not. Over the years, I have had a range of treatments that always include a chat about how I'm doing. He is someone that truly cares. I always leave a session with Spencer much more focused, peaceful and ready for life's curve balls.

Spencer is a fantastic therapist, who I have seen for many years, including online during the Covid era. He is highly skilled at physical treatments, such as acupuncture, and mental health support and advice. Spencer is a great listener and has helped me greatly with my thoughts and feelings over the years. I would highly recommend him.

Spencer is a very gifted therapist, he offers a very professional service. I would highly recommend him.

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 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.

Very good Therapist. Helped me during my mother breavement and with all the anxiety issues. I would really recomend his help and professionality.

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 separate occasions with severe anxiety attacks- racing heart, palpitations and issues with my gut. 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.

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 responsibility 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 practitioner!

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 disappointed. 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.

Whether it's physical or emotional pain, or I am just at wit's end, I am astounded at the impact of Spencer's therapy. When I walk out his door, all is well, balanced, grounded, pain-free and I have the most wonderful sleep, and I feel anew. He is amazing!

I was struggling to recover from Glandular Fever. I was tired, sickly all the time, head aches, and suffering with chronic diarrhea. One of the main advantages to seeing Spencer over another therapist is his integral approach. He treated me with Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine and a Gut Healing Diet. He tailored the treatment for me. I'm a sceptic at heart and I was tentative at the start of treatment. I can not say which areas of the treatment were more effective that another, except to say that with the combined methods he used, I started to notice improvements almost from day one. I have now completed my treatment and I feel 95% of my pre Glandular Fever self, which has been amazing. I felt maybe 30% of myself before treatment. I now no longer have any of the symptom. I'm still following the diet that we worked on together and feeling energied and noticing significant improvement in my health week by week. Thank you Spencer!

I was at the height of grieving for my husband when I saw Spencer, three weeks after my husband's funeral. The weekly Shiatsu sessions I had with him helped me recover and I gained both physical and spiritual strength. Spencer took an integrative approach asking about my life and health. He made me feel stronger and represented the best treatment I could have taken at that time. I still live with the legacy of his treatment and would wholeheartedly recommend him.

I had been suffering from a series of migraines with aura and discovered Spencer. He proved to be superb at both calming me and treating the symptoms. It has been amazing to have the sessions with him in conjunction with orthodox treatment. He has been able to offer me time to discuss my issues and has offered me the opportunity to completely unwind and de-stress. I would definitely recommend him to others as he has an all-round understanding of various alternative therapies which he can use to suit your specific needs. Thanks very much Spencer.

I have suffered from M.E. (myalgic encephalomyelitis) or C.F.S. (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) for 6-7 years now. I was diagnosed with glandular fever when I was 12 (I am now 19) and have never fully recovered. Having C.F.S. is incredibly difficult as it is widely misunderstood and has such a great effect on every part of my life. Before visiting Spencer I also suffered from insomnia. The reasons why I would always recommend and vouch for Spencer are his honesty; if he believed that you would do best by seeking medical help from a GP he would advise you to do so. If he believed that he could not help you for which ever reason he would tell you that and recommend you to a different type of healing. I feel that he is a natural healer and will put your health above his financial outcome. I also really appreciate his holistic approach to healing. Spencer helped me improve my physical health but he offered a lot of emotional help too. I believe that body and spirit is very intertwined and that mental health and physical health hold a very strong link, finding a healer with not just this belief but a strong understanding of what that means is rare. Spencer has completely changed my life and that is in no way an exaggeration. I now work a full time job as a charity fundraiser were I am always on my feet and in the cold, I rarely get seriously ill anymore and definitely notice the difference when I go a long period of time without seeing him. I now believe that this illness will one day become a part of my past and look forward to the day that it is, but I will never forget his help and will be forever grateful for the way Spencer has guided me towards changing my life around in such a positive way. Thank you Spencer!

Earlier this year I sprained my back/shoulders/neck to the point I was unable to move. After one acupuncture and shiatsu treatment with Spencer I regained approximately 90% mobility and have since returned for many times. I found Spencer's uniquely tailored treatments to also help me combat stress and for maintaining a well balanced equilibrium. I cannot recommend him highly enough and he is my go-to guy for anyone I know either with an injury or in need of a little bit of extra help.

I met Spencer around 3 years ago when I was suffering from chronic insomnia. While tradition doctors wanted to prescribe addictive sleep pills, after just one session, Spencer was able to get me sleeping naturally immediately. I continued with regular treatment with Spencer and my run down condition had a dramatic turn around. I also had quite severe gynaecological problems which conventional doctors subsequently recommended surgery; however with treatment from Spencer, the surgery due was entirely avoided as the condition had so disappeared it was not necessary; my menstrual cycle functioned normally again. I have real trust in Spencer's depth of understanding of the human body, and his approach to curing illness for me has been working at a much deeper 'causal' level than a lot of modern medicine. He is exceptional. I have found his wisdom and approach to healing is vastly superior to most conventional medicine available to us. He is also a fun chap who doesn't judge you for the baggage you have brought that probably got you sick in the first place, but helps you unload it all and live better!

I was suffering from stress and exhaustion after a chain of unfortunate life changing events which happened over the course of 8 months back to back. The changes were: new job, 2 house moves, relationship troubles, the traumatic death of my mother and finally Pneumonia! I felt totally exhausted and broken. I have had 6 treatments with Spencer so far and been utterly amazed at the massive positive change in my mood and general well being. I'm eating better, sleeping better, have a more positive outlook to work and feel totally emotionally revitalised. Spencer's approach treats the body and mind as a whole and invites your body to heal itself. Fantastic stuff and I look forward to more treatments.

I have seen Spencer on and off over the past 6 years. I have a deep respect for the attention he brings to the work he does, the safe space that he creates, and the way he is able to bring together different modalities to offer treatments that heal on many different levels. His work is deeply supportive, full of humour and he is able to offer tools to help in your day to day life. I highly recommend his work.

I have been a client of Spencer's for 18 months now and am very pleased with both the treatments I've received and the progress achieved in working with him. His knowledge/experience coupled with his sensitivity in treating the 'whole' person is first rate. As someone living daily with acute/chronic back pain and nerve damage, I've spent a lot of time researching my 'options' in receiving the best care possible. I've found that in Spencer, and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to improve their overall quality of life.

I've been receiving treatment from Spencer since July for a frozen shoulder/general stress and had no previous experience of craniosacral therapy. However I would now wholeheartedly recommend this deceptively subtle treatment and, in particular, Spencer as a skilled practitioner with an evolved, all encompassing approach. Following a number of treatments that have worked to release energy flows, I feel deeper bodily awareness and more connection with underlying emotional and existential issues. Spencer supports the manipulation process with a healing presence and philosophy, insightful observations and questions. Even when a powerful emotion has surfaced I've felt in safe hands. I agree with all comments previously made by other clients.

I initially went to see Spencer to sort out my insomnia, but his holistic approach and detailed questioning led us to dealing with a number of other related health issues as well, and I feel so much better for it. He has an impressive 'tool kit' of skills to work from, and was able to fine tune every session to meet my needs at that time. To top it all, an incredibly nice guy and easy to talk to, can't recommend him highly enough.

I've had pain in my knees for over a year and after seeing my GP and physio and being told to just take painkillers and do knee exercises, I looked into acupuncture. Just after one session with Spencer, my knee felt looser and for the first time I actually felt that someone was listening to me and genuinely wanted to help me. Spencer has not only helped relieve my pain, but he has also taught me about nutrition I need to keep my energy up and to help my body to heal itself from the inside through a good diet. He listens to what my knee needs and uses the best technique for it. I always feel a load has been lifted when I've had a session, I feel calm and relaxed and best of all, in less pain. Spencer is a very sensitive and calming person to be around and to be treated by. He will always come top of my recommendations!

I have been seeing Spencer for over a year now and he has been of particular help whilst I have been training for the NYC marathon. I had a persistent problem with my knee, which I was worried was a joint problem, so I sought Spencer's advice. One visit and it was all sorted. He used a winning combination of acupuncture and sports massage. Spencer's knowledge, skill and professionalism make him stand out from the crowd for me.

I came to Spencer with a painful back strain picked up through prolonged marathon training. I was truly amazed at the results of the combined massage and acupuncture therapy Spencer applied since most the pain subsided almost immediately as a result of the treatment which was painless and safe. Without any doubt I shall continue to consult Body Therapeutics as an integral part of my sports recovery and would encourage people to try the effective alternative therapies offered.

I've seen Spencer on and off over a 3 year period now initially for back pain and then to help manage my PCOS. I have always found him to be incredibly knowledgeable on all health matters. It is so refreshing to find someone who takes a truly holistic approach. He is a very friendly and calming person to be around. His treatments are extremely relaxing and very effective. I have recommended him to a number of friends who have also been very pleased with the service they have received.

I had a tight throat and went to see Spencer for some alleviation of the problem. He used a combination of acupuncture and massage which worked to great effect. After three sessions I was feeling a lot better and the problem has not returned. Spencer takes a full medical history and draws from a broad range of different approaches. He is dedicated to his work and this shines through in his manner and application. I would recommend you see him!

Spencer Joseph is a highly skilled medical professional. He was extremely thorough and attentive while taking my medical background. He suggested several modalities to treat my skin lesions including herbal compresses and laser treatment. Both helped lessen the severity of the lesions.

I saw Spencer initially for my four times surgically operated knee and the discomfort it was giving me. He did an overall assessment and not only helped release aches from my joint but also treated me with traditional chinese medicine to feel better overall. I also enjoyed therapy with him for the conversation and I would recommend him to anyone who is interested in a holistic way to recovery.

I went to Spencer with severe IBS symptoms. Within two sessions the symptoms had not only lessened but I felt more positive and had a greater sense of overall well-being. Spencer not only has an exceptional talent for integrated medicine, but he conducts the therapy with great sensitivity and openness. I highly recommend him.
