Dévan Rajendran
My name is Dévan (pronounced like Raven but with a D!) and I am the sole practitioner at Natural Touch Clinic. I qualified in 1986 and since then developed and maintained a dual career in teaching and practising as an osteopath. My osteopathic practice profile is primarily acute musculo-skeletal pain syndromes; non-specific low back pain, disc related pains, mechanical neck pain and problems arising from falls, twists and sports injuries.
I have also been trained to use several different psychological techniques to help patients who are suffering with persistent or chronic pain, including cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance commitment therapy and medical hypnosis.
in 2019 I completed a three year training course to become an integrative counsellor. This was very rewarding and I was awarded a Distinction for my final qualification and became a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
I work as a counsellor for a local charity, Family Matters who are based in Gravesend and provide specialist counselling services to male and female victims of rape, sexual assault and sexual violence from the ages of 14/15 upwards.
In private practice I am trained to work with a wide variety of conditions and have also trained as a couples counsellor. I am able to take private clients and will provide counselling either face to face or online via MS Teams or telephone.
