Colour therapy jobs

Therapists in colour therapy believe that the light we absorb is interpreted as colour by the brain, and affects our nervous system and hormones. As a result, too much or too little of a particular colour can affect our mental, emotional and physical state.

Colour therapy addresses colour imbalances by subjecting the body to the required colours, which allows the body to regain balance and heal itself. Colour therapy uses a variety of techniques including:

• Irradiating the whole body with light
• Placing coloured fabric on the body
• Applying bottles of coloured fluid to an area
• Breathing exercises
  
  

They may also provide advice and information on the use of colour in the home, in clothes, even in a patient's diet. This therapy is used to treat a number of conditions including depression, eczema, high blood pressure, and menstrual problems.

Most practitioners are self-employed, or else operate out of a complementary health clinic. Word of mouth and reputation are crucial in establishing a practice, so satisfied clients are the key to success.

Many practitioners are also trained in other complementary therapies, for example reflexology or acupuncture. This can not only increase the efficacy of the technique, it also opens other doors for work and clients. Other possibilities for work include teaching, for which you must hold a teaching qualification or proven experience.

• Institute for Complementary Medicine
