Buckinghamshire therapy & counselling

Thank you for visiting my site, I am a professional therapist who specialises in working with private clients who want to overcome anxiety, lift depressive feelings or have decided that they finally want to lose weight via increasing self esteem and working towards new levels of self respect and self love.

My style of working encompasses a whole range of psychological therapies, such as, Cognitive Therapy, Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT and many other sensible psychological interventions.

This type of therapy I call “sensible therapy for sensible people” where I work with you and explain why you feel the way you do, then via education and therapy we address the underlying problems (which are often unconscious) and so, under the radar. By understanding why you felt the way you did – it stops you falling back into those old routines again. Much of the work we do is focused on understanding who you are and what you want from life – and as the picture becomes more clear you will begin to see the emotional conflicts within that cause much of our emotional discomfort.

There is a lot of information on this site, please take some time to browse around and you will get a good feel for how I operate and my thoughts about getting change at an emotional level.

Anxiety treatment Buckinghamshire

My focused page on Anxiety is Here -  This is one of the most common forms of emotional distress I see each day, overcoming anxiety and managing panic attacks is very possible when someone can clearly explain to you what is happening in your mind and in your body and show you that you are not going mad and that although you may feel that your general anxiety disorder (GAD) is random and irrational – yet, it is not.

Anxiety counselling and therapy for anxiety stop the anxiety symptoms getting worse and reverse the intensity of the emotions so you can recalibrate your feelings and get the appropriate emotional responses at the appropriate time again. If the anxiety is left untreated it can worsen and develop into anxiety depression or take on new phobia like forms, such as, agoraphobia, emetophobia, obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD) and a whole range of fear based unconscious reactions that hijack you and make life miserable.

As a specialised anxiety therapist in Buckingham I can help you to take back control of the overwhelming feelings and get you life back again.

Depression treatment Buckinghamshire

My focused page on Treating Depression is Here – Help for depression is very possible, it’s not quick, but it is possible. Overcoming depression and treatment for depressive feelings mean you have to work on many levels – exploring the potential for chemical imbalances within the body, exploring the situational influences within your life, such as, bereavement, loss of job, unhappy relationships, unfulfilled occupation etc. and working on self limiting beliefs and emotional feelings that leave you numb, apathetic and paralysed.

At a simple level, depression is “a lack of a big bright future that is attainable and compelling you to step forward into it.” I can help you to work through current issues and the emotional numbness, whilst helping you to understand who you are and what you want – it’s not easy, but it is possible and the journey is often one of huge self discovery and emotional reconnection.

Insomnia treatment Buckinghamshire

Assuming that your insomnia is not caused by an underlying medical condition, I use a range of psychological insomnia cures that work closely with your unconscious mind to enable you to work through the events in your life that are (consciously or unconsciously) causing your mind to be too alert and active at times when you would like it to be deeply asleep.

Continued exposure to stress or emotional trauma in a person’s life places an unnecessary burden on the unconscious nervous system (parasympathetic nervous system) the continuous agitation of this sensitive structure leads to an increase in a whole range of chemicals that keep you in a more alert state of mind.

So, to get your body chemistry back under control, we need to address the events of your life and the strategies (conscious and unconscious) that your mind has developed to handle them. Some people stick their heads in the ground and hope things will just get better, other people try to change the people who are causing the problems, some feel like victims and some just don’t know what to do

We humans develop many coping strategies for the challenges we face and because they are typically unconscious strategies they seem to be underdeveloped and not at all optimal, often, we can see that we seem to be ‘cutting our nose off to spite our face’ when these strategies are analysed.

Weight loss Buckinghamshire & help losing weight Bucks

My focused page on Weight Loss is Here – When I work with clients who want to lose weight or take more control of their eating habits I do so from the point of view that they know all about dieting and diets, that they know all about slimming, that they are aware of the number of calories in food – and yet, just can’t break the cycle of eating the wrong foods at the wrong time, and subsequently, feel bad afterwards and emotionally beat themselves up.

There are many weight loss techniques I use, however, at the heart of it all, I raise your self esteem, your personal worth, your love of yourself and I help you to purge past thoughts or events that (unconsciously) instigated these unhealthy eating habits and this allows you to look at yourself and your relationship with food on a whole new level. It’s the smart way of changing – change your relationship with yourself, then change your relationship with food.
