Avril can help you work through the past or
get ready to be coached to your future successes. Let’s discuss the
best option for you.
Firstly a bit about my background as a
therapist. I started out with a psychology degree; graduated from
the Psychosynthesis & Education Trust in 1986; designed and led Art
from Within workshops for 10 years and have practiced as a
psychotherapist and coach ever since.
ONLINE THERAPY is an exciting departure
from traditional face-2-face or telephone treatment. Apart from the
obvious advantage of accessibility anywhere with an internet
connection, you have the session in text to reflect on later. I
took part in an NHS research trial (Ipcress) with Bristol
University, delivering CBT online to patients referred with
depression/anxiety. Successful results were published in The Lancet
: Volume 374, Number 9690, 22 August 2009.
Sometimes I meet clients in person but most
clients prefer telephone meetings or live chat online as geography
is not a problem. Wherever we meet you can be assured it will be in
a confidential setting and our relationship can continue as long as
you need it to be there.
I abide by BACP’s code of ethics and am
accredited with them as a supervisor of therapists.
A brief description of options follow:
-
PSYCHOTHERAPY
enables you to understand yourself better, explore and heal from
the past and how it has affected your personal foundation,
relationships and patterns.
-
CBT
and BRIEF SOLUTION-focus therapies are cognitive
approaches exploring the way you think which affects the way you
feel. They are the NHS treatment of choice for many problems
including depression and anxiety. If your thoughts are not
useful we explore ways to change them to more resourceful
thought patterns. It’s all about what works!
-
NLP
is about feeling great and enhancing your performance in
whatever you do. Stress or lack of confidence can hinder your
effectiveness at work, in sports and developing relationships.
NLP
was developed by modelling very successful people in their
fields; is commonly used in sports and business and just as
useful in your personal life. It can help remove the impact of
a nasty memory and teach you the control to create a confident
and motivational state instead.
-
HYPNOTHERAPY is a pleasant, peaceful experience engaging
the creative subconscious mind which is responsible for stored
learning and producing habitual behaviours without the need of
conscious thought, which is why logical decisions to change
habits may not always work. Hypnotherapy is particularly
effective to stop smoking, overcome phobias, build confidence,
relieve stress and restore a sense of well-being.
