This page should answer most of your questions about the underlying philosophy of HouseofPeace
OUR PHILOSOPHY
HouseofPeace is a virtual community web site for both therapists and members of the general pubic. There is much confusion amongst the general public about what kind of therapy they need, and how to find a reputable, ethical therapist. This is the place to come.
Some people see complementary health as highly suspicious and even dangerous. Misinformation and lack of understanding leads to fears and confusion. For others, who have been treated by ethical, caring therapists, who succeeded in helping them, they want to see complementary health practitioners recommended by GPs as a matter of choice.
The way to eliminate confusion is to become well informed. This site is one of the places to learn about different kind of therapies, and to see related links to other sites.
One day, we will all (therapists and non therapists alike) want to have our own network of professional healers, for ourselves and our families. We will use those therapists we most feel comfortable with, for mind and body healing, for times of crisis and for general feeling good “pick me ups.” While we may of course still need to visit our GP, we will greatly reduce his load, as we learn how to stay in touch with our minds and bodies and learn how to heal ourselves.

FAQs for therapists
I don’t have a computer. You don’t need to own a computer to have your own web page on this site. Simply send us your text with your phone number.
I don’t know how to use the computer. See above! Or you can simply log on to your e mail address every day to see if someone has sent you a message.
I already have/am about to have a website. You may still want to join this site and have the benefit of your own web page and tailored e mail address. Or, you may prefer just to link to this site.
I already have enough business. Good for you! However, you should still mark this site in your favourites. If a client asks you to recommend another therapy, this is where you can find a therapist in your area. If you would like to become a mentor for trainees in your therapy, you may prefer to do this instead.
I don’t like the idea of being in cyberspace. I bet you already are! Ask someone to do a search on your name and see if they can find you! The internet is just another medium – it was set up with the intention of it being available to all of us free of charge. All ethical sites, including this one, charge the very minimum they can in order to stay in business.
I can’t afford it. All therapists need to outlay some money for advertising their services. The choice of medium is yours. These costs are the lowest we can manage, and all profits are ploughed back into the site. Contact me for ideas for setting up a therapist swapping service.
I have more than one service I can offer. You will be cross referenced in the different areas you are trained in, as long as you hold a reputable qualification. For example, if you have only done a 3 day course in reiki, I will not allow you to advertise yourself as a reiki healer on this site.

FAQs for non therapists
- How do I know which therapy will suit me? Have a look at the site and the therapy descriptions. Ask friends and family for their recommendations. Look in magazines and see what you get drawn to – do you like bodywork or would you rather sit and talk to someone?
- How do I know which therapist will suit me? Ring them and ask them to explain to you how they work, and how much they charge.
- How do I know what the letters after their names mean? All therapist belong to one or more associations and everyone who appears on this site are qualified in their field. If you ask them, they will tell you who they trained with.
- How do the therapists on this site get accepted? All therapists on this site have been vetted. They are professionally qualified, hold relevant insurances, and have provided us with their own ethical philosophy which fits in with that of HouseofPeace. For example if someone has only done 3 days’ reiki training, they will not be allowed to call themselves a reiki healer on this site as they have not attained the standards we are looking for.
Thanks for visiting and we look forward to helping you.
