Walter Willies D.litt, Dihom
Arts Therapist in Glasgow

Welcome to The Waterman Practice! My interest in complementary medicine grew out of an academic background and career, as I became involved with what actually makes and keeps the body healthy. While I experienced a general sense of satisfaction with intellectual discipline, sensitivity to the body's communicative signals became increasingly important not only to my grasp of reading the story, in the shape of the body in front of me, but also to providing paths to healing, using whatever comes naturally. There are many such paths, for example, homeopathy, which is a globally growing system of natural medicine. For those who wish to explore the stories that imagination uses to achieve healing, there are many bridges from isolation and desolation to community and care.

Approach to Arts Therapy & How I Work

An initial consultation finds the right questions to ask, as these are not always obvious. The approach is always communicative, creating conversation rather than directive authoritarianism. Recognition, respect and reciprocity are important. All of this is meant to lead to openness, so that the body's signals, obvious and subtle, can lead to healing. A path involving time, consultations and prognosis is created with markers along the way to show progress. Wherever indicated, natural remedies are suggested.
