This starts off with talking through what your current difficulties and goals are, so we can agree a plan of what strategies will be most helpful to you.
Here are some examples of what people might want support with:
- anxiety
- depression
- stress
- traumatic memories
- difficult childhoods
- relationship problems
- self-criticism
- chronic illness
Some people really want to spend time talking and having feelings heard and validated. Other people find it unhelpful to talk about problems and then I offer a range of techniques that help shift memories; experiences; behaviours and beliefs. If you have anxiety, or PTSD and struggle to feel calm and safe then a lot of our initial work might be to teach your mind and body how to feel safe before we do any deeper work. I offer a technique similar to EMDR therapy that helps to safely detach from traumatic memories.
The number of sessions varies from person to person, depending on your personal circumstances. Therapy is recommended weekly.
Our mind is not concentrated in our brains, but flows throughout our body. Thoughts, memories and emotions are held in the body. Psychotherapy for physical health conditions works with the brain-body connection. We use evidence-based visualisations to encourage healing. Stress negatively affects the immune system and we learn how to manage stressful situations and how to relax deeply. Chronic illness brings about many life change, so we explore your feelings about this.
