Counselling, Psychotherapy, Coaching and IEMT (& Fees)

  

Counselling

Counselling often helps you gain a better understanding of your past and present conflicts, to recognise, appreciate and use your own resources, and to be able to consider new possibilities for dealing with difficult situations. 

This may involve clarifying choices and opportunities for bringing about positive change; or alternatively it may help you come to terms with those aspects of your life that you are unable - or do not wish to change.

 Counselling can help you evaluate the thoughts and beliefs you may have that might be counter productive, or even destructive in your life.

 

    
  • Adjusting to new job or way of life
  • Having difficulty with relationships
  • Work related difficulties
  • Having difficulty coping with stress
  • Anxiety State
  • Pessimistic thoughts 
  • Upsetting memories
  • Post Traumatic Stress 
  • Depressed mood / fatigue / unwillingness
  • Grief & Loss

 

I work with an underpinning internal control psychology which focuses on the current issues and conflicts affecting a person seeking help, encouraging that person, through therapy, to change any behaviour/beliefs that may prevent him or her from finding a solution to those issues. 

I believe that when a person in therapy can incorporate the behaviours, ideas, and methods developed through that therapy in his or her life successfully, they will often be able to improve their relationships, and experience a more fulfilling life. I also offer Integral Eye Movement Therapy sessions as an option.

Information: What is the difference between counselling and psychotherapy ?

Integral Eye Movement Therapy  

It is well know that eye movements are linked to memory/emotion. Our eyes access certain cues within the Limbic system of our brain to recall memory and any associated emotion imprinted to that memory (in particular the Hippocampus and Amygdala were emotion and memory imprints are held).

 

Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) can help people with a traumatic life experience which they cannot seem to get over, or experience emotions that are attached to painful memories that stops them from moving forward. IEMT and other eye movement techniques such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) are commonly used in treating patients with Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD), understanding Identity, or even phobias.

 

The difference with IEMT as opposed to other eye movement therapies is that it can also be used 'content free' in that you do not have to discuss what the trauma was, (sometimes a memory is too painful for some people to verbally talk about) – but as long as you know what it was, IEMT can help.

 

Although there are certain contra-indications that prevent some people from having any type of eye movement therapies, IEMT can be undertaken by most people, but not all.
