At some time in our lives we feel things are difficult, overwhelming and we are not coping. Sometimes we understand why and other times not. If you would like to have a better understanding of yourself and explore your struggles whether past or present then I can help.
I am a qualified Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (also often shortened to MBCT or MCBT).
I hold a safe, accepting, confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without any judgement. I can help you make sense of difficulties, help you to gain insight, understanding and find new perspectives.
How MBCT can help you
MBCT helps you to uncover inner resources and develop new healthy coping strategies. This talking therapy supports you in exploring and reflecting on whatever is troubling you.
I care about your well-being. I’ve lots of experience working with people from all walks of life, with a wide range of difficulties. I even use this therapy myself for improving my own sense of well-being.
If you want to make changes and feel more positive about your future I will work with you for your greatest and highest good.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Either they have a specific problem with a particular area of their life of they have a deeper feeling of general dissatisfaction with their life.
How does MCBT work?
Therapy can be short or long depending on the nature of the difficulty. MCBT tends to be a shorter term therapy (around 8 sessions) as it focuses on specific difficulties and is goal orientated.
MCBT focuses on how we think and what we do, as this absolutely affects the way that we feel. It challenges unhelpful irrational thinking and behaviour with the emphasis on the client and counsellor working together exploring and understanding this and finding new helpful alternative ways of thinking and behaving. We all have different reactions to an experience and it’s these reactions that when unhelpful make our lives difficult and we need to understand and change this.
Integrative counselling in contrast is a talking therapy which focuses on the counsellor using a variety of theories and approaches to help the client with whatever they present. Great focus being on the relationship that develops between client and counsellor, it is non-judgemental, accepting and explorative. That it is why it is important when looking for a therapist you feel you can connect with them and you feel safe to share your thoughts, feelings and experiences.
