A talk based therapy that seeks to go beneath the waterline of what's going on for you, exploring the relationships between that and any developmental, family, relational experiences or trauma. We look for patterns and connections and how they might show up in anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, defensive behaviours, work or relationship issues. Applied psychotherapy focuses on the usefulness of increased self awareness and understanding and how you can use this knowledge to imagine, shape and sustain change.
Applying leading edge research and applications of neuro-biology and neuro-cognitive therapies to help you feel resourced and confident to work with what's going on for you. This approach is especially effective for building tools and strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and associated behaviours. Neuro-cognitive approaches can be effectively applied to anxiety specific therapies, where we are looking to shift thoughts and behaviours in 4-8 sessions.
This approach combines talking therapy and work with the body. The foundation to this way of working is the evidence that everything we experience, for better and for worse, is held in the body and the body systems. The body can be a powerful ally in healing and recovery. Through bio-physical movement * and breath work, we can release some of the emotional 'holding', unlock more energy for feeling connected to ourselves, build the confidence to do more of our own internal repair and regulation and live well.
* Bio-physical work is not suitable for everybody. See the FAQ for more information.
