approaches
I have a holistic approach to my work. I don't do therapy by the numbers, or try to fit your needs into some standard technique. Rather, I draw upon a whole range of approaches to help you get to where you want to be. If you care less about techniques and more about results, this page will be of academic interest only.
There are, however, those who like to understand the basis on which I work, and who have a preference for a particular approach. If you are one of these people, this page briefly outlines the main ways in which I can work with you.
Reflective counselling
This is about helping you to work out your own solutions by listening carefully to what you say, and reflecting this back to you in ways that allow you to see the issues in new ways.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy allows you to build a more psychologically informed understanding of who you are and how you interact in the world. It is a collaborative approach in which we work together to analyse what the issues are and what approaches might be effective in responding to them.
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
NLP is a very structured way of understanding behavioral patterns, and effective ways of achieving our goals. NLP has also been used to analyse how & why different therapeutic techniques work, and to distil them into approaches that maximise their effectiveness.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a state of mind in which we are extremely relaxed, comfortable and free from distraction. There is nothing mystical or magical about it: we all enter a hypnotic state every time we find ourselves engrossed in a book or film. Hypnosis is a valuable tool when you are seeking to free yourself from old habits or fears, or when you lack conscious clarity about what it is you want.
Life coaching
Coaching is mostly aimed at those who have very clear goals or ambitions, and want help in maximising the speed and effectiveness with which you achieve them. Sessions are usually conducted by phone, but can be face-to-face if you prefer.
Past Life Regression
Past Life Regression is a fascinating experience whether working on a specific problem or ‘simply curious’. No belief in past lives is necessary, there are a few schools of thought as to what the actual experience is. However, in my working in the area for 20+years the benefit of working with this deeper level of consciousness has shown that reaching the origination or gaining a deeper understanding and higher knowledge of a situation can without doubt have a profound impact.
Shamanic Healing
Healing the Light Body is a very gentle process whereby not much talk is necessary. We work with the energy that surrounds the physical body and release blocked energy within the physical body.
Soul Retrieval
Soul Retrieval is a way of working both within conventional psychotherapy and Shamanic practise. We look to the Soul as a timeless part of ourselves, parts of which can be ‘lost’ at any point where a perceived traumatic experience take place. Reconnecting with part of our Soul/Psyche allows one to feel more whole again and a great deal of healing takes place.
