Help and guidance for you
Essentialiving
During these unusual times life as we know it has significantly changed. For many people this has brought about anxiety and stress and you might be experiencing an array of emotions ranging from sadness to anger, confusion to fear.
My clients have reported spontaneous tears, lethargy, feeling bewildered or a lack of motivation for self-care.
This can happen in any circumstances and to anybody. You might also be affected if you have already spent much time away from the world through illness, pain or life circumstances.
As a therapist I am able to offer you a combination of counselling and email sessions.
You might not want to talk to your family or friends because you feel embarrassed or that you are burdening them. Maybe you have no-one to talk to about your personal experiences and the feelings that are bubbling inside you.
You may:
- Book a single strategy session whereby you share your concerns and I will create a coping plan for you
- Book a block of 4 sessions* and you are welcome to message me in-between whenever and for any reason. I will reply once a week or more by email
Whatever you are experiencing is ok and I am here to listen, gently guide and help you. These sessions are about you and are led by you.
FAQ
Q -Is this different to regular hypnotherapy?
A - Hypnotherapy is usually sought for a particular problem or issue. Counselling is a talking-strategy to address present issues or worries. I may incorporate other modalities, if appropriate, as we go along.
Q - If I start will I be in ‘treatment’ for ages?
A - No. Our work together will empower you to build your resilience to life; its foibles and challenges.
Q - I am being treated for an on-going health problem can I still have sessions with you?
A - It would be appropriate to contact your primary carer. I have only had positive responses and can write a letter/email for you.
Q - Why is the price so much lower than usual?
A - I have created these sessions for a different time and have made the price (hopefully) accessible to all. However, if you are struggling financially see below. Normal service will be resumed one day.
Q - I have no money can I still have help?
A - Yes, see below.
Q - What does donate a session mean?
A - It is like paying for someone’s dinner, as in back in the day when we could go out, except you pay for someone else to have a session. These are usually done anonymously but do not have to be.
Q - Can I speak to you first?
A - Yes, you are most welcome to get in touch.
Q - What techniques do you use?
- Counselling identifies what is happening now and empowers you to cope
- Hypnotherapy/self-hypnosis to give you a tool for life
- Coaching is a multi-faceted holistic approach to life in general or to work through specific issues or difficulties
- NLP is neuro linguistic programming. This is a selection of teachable tools that can be practised with or without other disciplines
- CBT is cognitive behavioural therapy. This is about acknowledging what is happening and doing something different to elicit change. Repeating behaviours creates alternative neural pathways and forms new habits
- Meditation and mindfulness is being 'in the now' in a calm controlled manner
- Stress management helps you notice triggers that may lead to potential flares ~ with pain or life flare ups
