Psychotherapy

Process is defined as a series of actions or steps taken to achieve a particular result…. It includes performing  those  actions in a particular order… Each action  must add value to the next one in order to change something or preserve something.

During our lifetime, we have created our own  set of actions or steps we take to achieve a result. Often we do not know what those steps are. We do not realise we think in a particular way, make  decisions in a certain way,  decide on a behaviour and respond to our emotions in certain ways.

Most of us are completely unaware of How we think about doing anything, How we make decisions and then How we implement them. We call this: our personal process.

As adults, we keep repeating what we always do – and then get surprised when we get the same result. 

Process-oriented psychotherapy  helps you to identify and where necessary change your own process. The benefit for you is you can separate your story – with all its emotions and facts – from your cognitive processes you use to maintain your  story’s influence on your life.

This is how we help you to grow your robust mental health.

This is how you maintain and ensure your own continued robust mental health.

When we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or “boxed in” – we experience the “symptoms”  of poor sleep,  excessive or very limited eating, constantly thinking in a loop which is exhausting,  anxious, to name but a few of the more common consequences of feeling overwhelmed and stuck in a problem when you cannot seem to see a solution.

When we understand and identify what we are doing to increase our awareness of our symptoms, we have a choice to make. We can choose to keep focused on the symptom, or we can choose to focus on learning what is needed to remove the symptom.

This is how we help you to gain clarity, become focused on making the relevant decisions needed for your intended outcome and choosing behaviours.

This is how you are able to see a clear way forward past your symptoms, with fewer barriers and thoughts getting in your way.

Constant physical pain is exhausting, saps your energy and  makes a huge demand on your emotions. 

It tends to be all consuming and leaves limited brain power to think clearly, far less make decisions and think creatively.

Pain is a physical sensation which activates nerves and the central nervous system.

Pain also creates an experience or sensations which are associated with fear, anxiety and a low capacity to cope.

Using Process oriented psychotherapy, with hypnosis, is very powerful  way to learn how to reduce your fear and anxiety related to the experience of your pain.

This is how we help you  gain clarity, have more focused decision making and being able to choose different behaviours.

This is how you help yourself to handle the pain more effectively, redirect your attention elsewhere and gain some relief.

Being positive is different to having positive expectations.
Positive psychology, self help programmes and books are all about finding the good in circumstances we find ourselves in, and moving our feelings to a positive space.

The expectations we hold of ourselves is a powerful force within us. These expectations which we hold – of ourselves and of others – has a significant influence on our experience. 

The concept of “self-fulfilling prophecy” is where our behaviours are unconsciously aligned with our expectations – and so we repeat the behaviours and get the same results.

Having robust mental wellness, means being able to identify and reflect on our expectations so we can influence how we experience our circumstances – preferably in a positive way.

We work with you to learn new ways to reflect on your experiences in a healthy way, to decide how to build positive changes in your mind, and then behave accordingly.

This is how we help you become more positive in your outlook on your life for a long time

This is how you change your thoughts and behaviours to achieve a different positive life for yourself.
