Individual Psychotherapy
Many of us get to a place in our life where we feel lost, depressed or anxious. Psychotherapy and counselling can help us at these times, enabling us to understand and change deeply held patterns of suffering by talking about them in a safe and confidential setting. A talking therapy, whether it be of short or open ended duration, can be highly effective in getting us back, happily in our life.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)
This is a brief therapy to help discrete traumas or as part of a therapy of longer duration. EMDR is highly effective in many cases of PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and has been recommended as a treatment of choice by NICE, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence. Typical applications span between one off traffic accidents to complex experiences of sustained abuse.
The Bath and Bristol Eight Week Mindfulness Course
The mindfulness based stress reduction program originally designed by Jon Kabat Zinn and now used broadly in America and the UK. Using mindfulness meditation, the eight evenings and one full Saturday, can help us be with physical and emotional stress, chronic pain, anxiety and depression. It is particularly recommended for recurrent bouts of chronic depression. This can be achieved, not by rejecting our experience, but by learning to be present with it in a consciously spacious and kindly way – that is mindfully.
Next course in Bath starts January 2009
