Types of Counselling/Psychotherapy

 

The types of counselling that I use include Psychodynamic and Systemic approaches incorporated with other theories such as Transactional Analysis, Gestalt Theory and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

 

Psychodynamic approach: is drawn from the Freudian ideas for therapy and counselling.

 

• The emphasis being  the  unconscious/ sub-conscious mental-processes.
• The developmental stages we all go through
• Childhood experiences that influence the here & now
• Structure of the personality
• Transferences-Counter-transferences & projections

 

Systemic approach looks at the context. It is a way to look at the parts that make up the systems.

 

• The systems that evolve in relationships between experiences, behaviours and people.
• By telling your story it can help to look at these influences and deconstruct them and  then reconstruct to give a differing more manageable meaning.

 

By combining these two significant theoretical approaches the work can help deal with the intra and inter issues.

 

I can also employ Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) techniques. EMDR theory can help in areas of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Phobias,  Past Sexual abuse and many other traumatic events. This is a specialised way of working which can enable healing of dysfunctionally stored traumatic or distressing memories, enableing the individual to respond adaptively in the present.

 

I am also experienced in NLP, CBT, TA, Client centred and Solution Focus.

 

I am also able to offer Hypnotherapy which can be helpful in dealing th areas such as: sleep, anxiety, confidence, weight, eating habits, phobias, pain, smoking and more.
