A small business based in Grove has been named the holistic therapy clinic of the year in London and the South East.

Energy & Empathy picked up the accolade from Prestige Awards, which was launched to celebrate the businesses and individuals that “consistently offer excellent products and services”.

The company was set up by Lin Campbell, a spiritual medium and healer, and Paul Ellwood, who runs the company’s technology infrastructure.

A spokesperson for the company said: “Offering a broad spectrum of services, Energy & Empathy caters to a wide array of spiritual needs.

“From monthly mediumship demonstrations to personalized one-on-one readings, they provide a welcoming space for both seasoned spiritual seekers and those just beginning their journey.

“Their inclusive environment encourages self-discovery and personal growth, ensuring every individual feels supported along their path.

“Understanding the need for accessibility, Energy & Empathy also hosts online events, making it easier for individuals to engage from the comfort of their own homes.

“These virtual sessions replicate the relaxed and informal atmosphere of the physical centre, fostering a sense of community and shared exploration, regardless of location.

Gordon Smith, a well-known renowned medium who mentored Ms Campbell, said: “It's an absolute pleasure to see a student blossom and grow in both her abilities and confidence, alongside a willingness to help others.

“Congratulations Lin on receiving such a prestigious award, in recognition of the hard work dedicated to running the Energy and Empathy Centre and I hope its doors remain open for many years to come.”
