Modern Evidence Based Psychotherapy Toolkit
I use an integrative, evidence based approaches; based on the modern understand of emotions and neuroscience. I am able to chose the therapeutic tools that will have the most impact in helping you achieve your outcomes. I am drawn to tools that help you flourish in your way, build on your existing understanding of life and resources, and looking into the future to create lasting change.
Human Givens Psychotherapy
Integrating evidence based tools and neuroscience to promote effective and lasting change
The Human Givens (HG) approach is a brief, solution-focused approach which helps people feel better and move on in their lives as quickly as possible. It incorporates the findings of neuroscience with the understanding that when a human’s emotional needs are met and their innate mental resources are being used correctly, they will be emotionally and mentally healthy. Human givens therapists therefore focus on helping someone learn the skills and use their innate resources to feel better and create sustainable good mental health into the future, rather than focusing on what has happened in the past. The approach integrates a suite of therapeutic tools within a framework. This gives therapists the flexibility to design sessions around your specific needs and goals.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Lowering emotion arousal and activating the brains natural learning state to rewire thoughts and behaviours.
These sessions are structured around solution focused practices, positive psychology and hypnosis. The sessions start with solution focused questions, that help you explore the outcomes that you want. We will often also explore the brain and body system in order to help you understand why you feel the way you do and what we can do to help. Hypnosis is as a powerful, yet natural and relaxing way of embedding the Solution Focused process.
The knowledge of hypnosis has been known about for over 2000 and is now considered an essential tool in the psychotherapists tool box. Recreating the natural processing brain state is a safe and effective way of helping you to increase creativity, confidence and clarity of mind.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy
The foundation of my approach
SFBT helps you create the future that you want, without needing to dwell on the every detail of the problems being experienced. The conversation will explore various past and future elements of your life, your existing skills and resources, and exploring in depth possible steps towards making what you want to achieve a reality. Since it’s development in the 80’s a vast amount of evidence has backed up this approach as an effective and brief therapy, and is now considered the modern approach to creating therapeutic change.
Rewind Therapy for Trauma
I’m an accredited Rewind Therapist (www.iarrt.com) which is internationally recognised as an indispensable tool for the treatment for suffers of PTSD. “Closure without Disclosure” is the phrase used to describe the Muss Rewind tool, because no details of the incident need to be disclosed during the session and it offers a highly effective way to stop the flashbacks permanently.
