Counselling and Psychotherapy

Counselling

Counselling uses a therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist, based on trust and understanding. When you come into a therapeutic space that holds acceptance of where you are, this helps the body and mind let go and an inner healing process to begin. Using a person-centred approach and a variety of psychotherapies, we can explore and look at any aspect of your life that you feel needs attention or resolution. Whether you feel overwhelmed, confused or something is not right, nothing is too big or small to look it and work through. When the client and therapist examine issues in this way, it can yield a type of clarity that is transformational.

Psychotherapy

For working with trauma, I use the Flash Technique for significantly reducing trauma and other severely painful memories or distressing emotions. Initially developed for the preparation phase of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) the Flash Technique is now a powerful evidence based technique in it’s own right. The Flash Technique can reduce trauma or the disturbance level of painful memory in a short period of time, sometimes as little as 10-15 minutes. The Flash technique is so effective that many psychotherapists now favour it over longer EMDR therapy. Flash technique therapy can be used for trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and difficult emotions.

Meditation

For interested clients I also teach two types of effortless based meditation. Meditation can provide an instrumental change in one’s life, significantly reducing anxiety and stress, resolving difficult emotions, while simultaneously developing a foundation of calm, wellbeing and awareness. I have been teaching mediation for over 10 years and find it one of the most effective ways for clients to change their internal experience and their lives.
