Therapy for Mind & Body...
Offering Psychotherapy and Counselling with a mind-body approach.
I believe that our minds and bodies are closely connected, and that our thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and experiences all play a part in our overall wellbeing. Sometimes emotional distress can show up physically, just as physical experiences can affect how we feel emotionally.
My approach recognises you as a whole person, taking into account not only what you are thinking and feeling, but also how you experience things physically. I believe that developing a greater awareness of this connection can help you better understand yourself, recognise patterns and find ways to support your emotional wellbeing.
Depending on your individual needs, our work together may draw on a range of approaches and techniques, including:
Mindfulness and Self-Awareness
Developing an awareness of the present moment and becoming more attuned to your thoughts, feelings and physical sensations, without judgement.
Understanding Thoughts and Behaviours
Exploring patterns of thinking and behaviour, identifying what may be keeping you feeling stuck and developing alternative ways of responding.
Cognitive-Behavioural Techniques
Mind-body counsellors may incorporate cognitive-behavioural techniques to address maladaptive thought patterns and behaviours. By identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts, you can learn to change your cognitive processes, which can lead to improvements in emotional well-being and physical health.
Managing Stress and Anxiety
Exploring the impact of stress and uncertainty, and developing practical ways to manage difficult feelings through grounding, relaxation and other supportive techniques.
Our work is collaborative and guided by what feels most helpful to you. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and we can find a way of working that feels right for your individual experiences and needs.
