Stephen Murray

Second-generation healer & Certified Havening Practitioner

I am proud to be a second-generation healer, following in the footsteps of my mother, whose own work inspired me from an early age to seek balance and support others in their return to health. Over the years, I have developed a gentle, non-confrontational approach that puts clients at ease, built on careful listening and a deep respect for each individual’s personal journey.

 

My path to Havening Touch began when I experienced it first-hand as a case study for a colleague. The transformation I felt was so profound that I chose to dedicate myself fully to the practice. Since qualifying, I have worked with people locally and internationally, helping them overcome the lingering effects of intense and often deeply hidden trauma.

 

Clients I’ve supported have faced challenges including violent and sexual abuse, over-indulgence, masking, denial, abandonment, isolation, blocked memories, and even the traumatic impact of losing a loved one to self-inflicted death. In every case, my goal has been to provide a safe, compassionate space where healing can take root and resilience can grow.

 

Before my work with Havening, I trained as an energy healer, offering relief from pain, anxiety, and emotional distress to clients around the world. My earlier career as an accountant may seem far removed from this work, yet it, too, was centred on creating balance; only now, instead of balancing numbers, I help restore emotional equilibrium.

Active in the local healing community, I remain a committed learner, continually expanding my skills to better serve those who seek peace, clarity, and renewed strength. This work feels like my true calling, and my purpose is simple: to help as many people as possible lead more positive, complete, and empowered lives.

Testimonials

Client ignored in childhood through adulthood by parents and siblings

I can highly recommend Stephen as a Havening practitioner. He is warm,
caring and professional with a sensitive manner who held the "havening
space" during my session in a very respectful way.
I felt comfortable, supported, encouraged and safe to be able to open up
freely and actively participate in my sessions. Stephen has supported me
through processing and healing past issues which were impacting my
present life. He worked me through identifying the exact cause/incidents
and working through my emotions and the trauma I was holding on to. I
would highly recommend Stephen and the Havening process - it is a
powerful and effective method that works.

Client with sexual abuse trauma

I have been very blessed to have received Havening healing from Stephen. He has also taught me how to use this modality on myself at home.
I have been going through a very tough time, mentally and emotionally that has thrown me out of my normal happy self.
Stephen’s gentle, warm and caring approach made me feel very comfortable sharing very personal troubles. The healing is very easy to follow and even fun. There were tears and laughter throughout my healing sessions. I always headed home after a healing session with a smile.
There is a lightness about me now that I haven’t had in years. I am able to cope with situations with more ease and so much quicker. I’m back into taking care of myself. I am even sleeping better with less physical pain. My family have noticed the change.
Thank you Stephen
