"The purpose of psychotherapy is to set people free." R. May
Psychotherapy
The main purpose of psychotherapy is to bring awareness and understanding to your life, primarily to enable acceptance and change where needed. Together we will discuss issues and difficulties and look to the underlying reasons as to why you may be struggling. Foremost, however, the sessions will be a safe place where you can heard, acknowledged and feel supported.
Alongside psychotherapy, I am qualified in a variety of other therapeutic approaches and, depending on what is needed, integrate different methods to suit your needs:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on setting goals and providing ways in which they can be achieved.
Mindfulness is where we develop skills based on relaxation, clearing and stilling your mind in order to minimise unwanted thoughts, live in the present and find self-compassion to live the life you want.
Dream Analysis involves looking at unconscious messages your mind may be telling you through your dreams. Sometimes this can act as a key to solving issues you may be facing.
Play Therapy, although developed for children, can be a very successful technique in engaging our child selves, particularly when our childhoods have been painful and damaging, and can bring a great release from old traumas.
Hypnotherapy is different to psychotherapy in that it treats patterns of thoughts or behaviour which have become ingrained without our unconscious mind and are proving resistant to talking therapy. Sometimes we need a physical intervention to shift the block or to access the unconscious mind directly in order to allow change to take place.
