Welcome to
Authentic Self
Authentic Self offers Sound Therapy, Reiki Healing, and Spiritual Life Coaching in Belper, Derbyshire, helping clients reconnect with balance, clarity, and their authentic path.
Sometimes life brings us to a moment
where something quietly asks for attention.
A sense of disconnection. Burnout or emotional overwhelm. Or simply the feeling that you have lost touch with who you truly are.
This is where the journey back to yourself begins.
I'm Chris — often known as Kit — founder of Authentic Self, a fully insured Sound Therapist, Reiki Practitioner, and intuitive life guide based in Belper, Derbyshire. With over 25 years of experience working with clients, I have supported people in reconnecting with their authentic selves — helping them find calm, clarity, and emotional balance through holistic and therapeutic practices.
My work blends a number of complementary approaches, including:
- Sound Therapy & Vibrational Healing
- Reiki Energy Healing
- CBT-informed reflection tools
- Stress and pain management techniques
- Crystal healing and chakra balancing
- Spiritual and intuitive life coaching
Each session is personalised to you, blending ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic understanding to support mind, body, and spirit alignment.
"You don't need to be spiritual, experienced in healing, or have everything figured out to benefit from this work — you simply need to be open to exploring your own path."
More than anything, my aim is to create a calm and grounded space where you can reconnect with yourself at your own pace.
A Name with Meaning
Chris
Represents the grounded and practical side — organised, thoughtful, and focused on creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel understood and comfortable.
Kit
Represents the intuitive and empathic healer — the part that listens deeply, senses what lies beneath the surface, and gently holds space for emotional and spiritual transformation.
Together they create a balanced approach where structure meets intuition.
A role that is older
and quieter
Over time, I have come to see my role not simply as a therapist or coach, but as something older and quieter — a Wayfinder.
A Wayfinder does not tell you where to go. Instead, they walk beside you while you rediscover your own direction.
Through sound therapy, energy work, and reflective guidance, my work helps you reconnect with the part of yourself that already knows the way forward.
"My role is never to tell you who you should become, but to create a safe and supportive space where you can rediscover your own direction."
The Authentic Self
Philosophy
At Authentic Self, healing is never rushed and never forced. True transformation happens when the mind, body, emotions, and spirit are allowed to realign naturally.
Our work supports that process through a blend of therapeutic tools and spiritual insight, helping you to:
- Release stress and emotional weight
- Reconnect with your inner clarity
- Feel grounded and balanced again
- Develop confidence in your own path
People often come to Authentic Self not because they want a quick fix, but because they are seeking something deeper — a place where they can pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves.
Every session is designed to meet you exactly where you are, whether you are drawn to sound healing, energy work, personal development, or spiritual guidance.
"Many people arrive feeling unsure, curious, or simply searching for something they cannot quite put into words — and that curiosity is often the first step back to themselves."
Begin Your
Journey
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious about the deeper parts of yourself, you are warmly welcome here.
Authentic Self offers a calm and supportive space where you can explore, release what no longer serves you, and move forward with clarity.
This work is not about becoming someone new.
It is about remembering who you truly are.
If something here resonates with you, trust that instinct — it is often the first step towards meaningful change.
