Psychotherapy is the process of provision (by a qualified practitioner), of a formal and professional relationship within which patient(s)/ client(s) can profitably explore difficult, and often painful, emotions and experiences.
These may include feelings of anxiety, depression, trauma, or perhaps the loss of meaning in one’s life. It is a process which seeks to help the person gain an increased capacity for choice, through which the individual becomes more autonomous and self determined.
Psychotherapy may be provided for individuals or children, couples, families and groups.
The term Hypnotherapy means the use of hypnosis for the treatment and relief of a variety of somatic and psychological symptoms.
Have you ever been so involved with a task that you have lost track of time? Have you ever driven from one place to another and arrived safely, but not remembered the journey? Have you ever read a book and become so involved with the plot you can see scenery and hear characters speak? Have you ever day-dreamed? These are everyday examples of an altered state of awareness.
Hypnosis is another example of an altered state of awareness-one which can be used for self help. Hypnosis is a perfectly natural state which occurs between being fully awake and fully asleep. In the clinical setting hypnosis is usually accompanied by a pleasant state of physical relaxation which in itself is beneficial, especially in the symptoms induced by or aggravated by stress.
It is important to note that no one can be hypnotised against their will and no one can be forced to do things while under hypnosis that they do not want to do.
Hypnotherapy is completely natural and safe. There are no harmful side-effects. When administered by a professionally trained and skilled hypnotherapist the benefits are long lasting and often permanent.
Coaching is a formalised means of one person (a trained professional) helping another to achieve their hopes and dreams, and to fulfil their full potential. Many of us spend too much time existing, and not enough living. We often find it difficult to know how to get where we want to go, and even to know where we want to go. Coaching can help with these issues and so much more.
Your life coach can assist you to gain clarity (if you need it) as to your goals. What do you truly value in life? What and who do you truly want to be? From the first session your coach will guide you, support you and motivate you in your journey towards meeting your goals.
Goals may be on many levels, including but not limited to:
* Career
* Home
* Family
* Friends
* Finance
* Activities
* Other personal achievements.
Goals may be small or huge, vague or precise. Whatever you bring to the table your coach will be helping you with it; you will not be told what your goals should be!
Counselling is a word that is often misunderstood. There is a difference between having a discussion, giving information and counselling.
Counselling is a process whereby the client is encouraged to explore their thoughts, feelings and experience in order to resolve issues and move forward productively.
The counsellor is there to listen, understand and assist with the process. Often the process of simply unburdening oneself to someone who is interested, but not involved, can be very therapeutic! It can make a pleasant change not to be judged. However, this is not all. Counsellors will also work with you to examine reasons for situations and to explore possible avenues for your future.
Counselling can be used for:
*dealing with current problems
*dealing with the past
*planning for the future
*personal growth
Medical Counselling consists of advise regarding information about the diagnosed problem. This could be a physical diagnosis e.g. Diabetes, Hypertension, etc. or Psychiatric Diagnosis e.g. Depression, Anxiety, etc.
