New for 2022: Present Moment Experience
Email or Text
Email is another option which I utilise to carry out support and guidance. Due to its limitations this may not be advisable for all but can still serve a purpose for some. If you prefer text message support, we can discuss to asses its suitability.
In the 'Present Moment Experience' we take our session beyond the four walls of a therapy room and into nature. Over 2 hours, we develop a conceptual understanding of the present moment, how to arrive and anchor in the present and form a deep connection with the present moment in real time.
Areas of qualification
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a an indepth 'talking therapy', specifically analysing the past and unconscious. We are looking at the movement of mental activity that drives the person’s thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
We use CBT to help identify areas which are preventing you from leading a rich and meaningful life, whilst acknowledging the role thoughts and feelings play in behaviour. It is a very useful therapy for reversing negative, repetitive or persistent thinking.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
In ACT we learn to stop avoiding, denying and struggling with inner emotions and instead accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations. We receive huge benefits from psychological flexibility and mindfulness.
Alcohol and Drug Addiction
One of my roles is to observe and respond to all human behavior related to addictions, including alcohol and drug misuse. I welcome anyone affected by addiction, without judgement and with total confidentiality.
Depression Counselling Diploma
Often people present in a depressive state of mind but unsure what is really happening. It can be beneficial to explore the background but an emphasis is always on the 'here and now' and how to move forward in alignment with your personal values.
