How I can help your scars
Hi, I'm Vickie...
As a Soft Tissue Therapist for over 20 years, and with first hand personal experience of scars, as a result of both injury and surgery, I truly understand the long-lasting effects they can have – physically and emotionally.
I have found that many clients receive little, ill-informed or no aftercare when it comes to their scar. They often feel alone and left to put up with their symptoms.
I am here to help change that and give my clients a brighter future.
I'm here to help.
We're in this together.
How Scar Therapy can help you

Reduce Pain and Discomfort
Scar therapy techniques can significantly alleviate pain associated with scars, allowing for greater comfort in daily activities.
Improve Mobility
Scar tissue can restrict movement. Our treatments aim to break down adhesions and promote flexibility, enhancing your overall range of motion.
Enhance Scar Appearance
With consistent therapy, you can experience a visible improvement in the color, texture, and size of scars, helping you feel more confident in your skin.
Restore Sensation
Many people with scars experience numbness or altered sensation. Our therapies focus on restoring normal sensation in affected areas, promoting a better connection with your body.
Boosts Emotional Wellbeing
Healing physical scars can lead to emotional healing as well. By addressing the appearance and discomfort of scars, therapy can help improve your self-esteem and overall mental health.
Supports Post-Op Recovery
Scar therapy plays a crucial role in post-operative care, assisting in lymphatic drainage and reducing swelling, which can expedite the healing process after surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you have another question, please contact me and I’ll be happy to help!
Scar Therapy can start in as little as 6-8 weeks post surgery subject to certain conditions. The wound needs to be healed and sealed, with no scabs, stitches/staples and showing no signs of infection (locally or systematically) or weeping.
I do not treat in between radiotherapy sessions and must wait a minimum of two weeks after the last bout of radiotherapy is completed before considering Scar Therapy.
If you are under consultant care, I will want to write to your consultant to confirm Scar Therapy can commence.
Absolutely! I have treated scars that are over 40 years old and still made a change to the sensation, quality and appearance of the scar itself and connected it to other issues the client has had which were previously believed to be unrelated.
The number of treatments required varies on its age, size number of scars, the challenges we face, how you respond and what your goals are, for example.
Generally speaking, we normally see a change within about 4 sessions. When the scar is new I like to offer 3 or 4 treatments close together and then another a couple of months later and another a few months after that. By doing it this way we have a better chance at reducing excessive scar tissue laydown, the formation of adhesions and preventing other issues.
Yes, I can! Hypertrophic and keloid scar formation occur for a number of reasons, including tensile loads put through the scar, skin type (darker skin types are more prone to keloid scarring) or genetic imbalances.
I have a number of techniques that can aid in addressing symptoms such as redness, raised, hardening, pain and itching.
I can also advise on self-care and using products to enhance treatments.
With respect and dignity. As an inclusive and diverse therapist I treat all my patients with the same respectful approach.
There will be some questions that need to be asked as part of my assessment but you are under no obligation to tell your story, unless you want to.
My clinic is a safe space and privacy is paramount.
At present I am only able to treat top surgery associated with GRS/GCS, if there are any concerns you have relating to genitalia surgery I may be able to show you some self treatment techniques or you may have to go back to your consultant for further advice.
Sorry to say, but no. My clinic in Brentwood is a great set-up, with my hydraulic couch and tools or devices at hand, should I need them. The entrance is flat with one small step to enter the clinic and I have ample parking on my drive for clients (parking restrictions are enforced on the streets, so don’t park there if your appointment is before 6 pm).
Yes, I do. Whether it’s a birthday, Christmas, Mother's Day, Father's Day, for a new mum following a C-section delivery, or for a loved one who has gone through cancer surgery, the gift of scar therapy is the perfect way to show how much you care.
Digital gift vouchers are available via my online store, in denominations of treatments. Simply print off or email for giving, they will then book their appointment directly and bring/show their voucher on arrival.
If you live in or near Brentwood, Essex free collection can be arranged.
If however, you are a bit further away but still in mainland UK then items are posted 1st class Royal Mail, and postage costs are applied at checkout. Please note this does not guarantee next-day delivery. Unfortunately, I do not offer overseas shipping at any time.
Ideally, this time spent have scar therapy is for you to focus on you. But I do understand that life doesn't always work out that way. Space in my clinic is a little limited but a single pram can fit in. Or, to make it easier for you I have a baby bouncer, suitable for up to 12kg, in my room so that your little one can happily see you and entertain themselves while you are having your treatment.
Obviously, the more notice the better, however, the following charges apply:
Within 48hrs 50% fee, Within 24hrs 100% fee, No Show 100% fee.
Currently, payment is taken at the time of your appointment, and no deposit is required.
