EMAIL COUNSELLING

September 1, 2011 By

Email Counselling
Counselling via email is a relatively new concept in the therapy world. Counselling belongs in the ‘talking therapy’ field and so emailing a counsellor might seem to be quite a poor solution as conversation takes place BUT it is proven to be very effective.
Counselling at it’s root, is the exchange of words, thoughts and emotions between individuals so there really is no reason that this cannot happen via email.

Is email counselling suitable for everyone? In my opinion, definitely not! But for a large proportion of people who seek counselling in this way, it can be very effective.

Why email counselling?
By seeking counselling you are probably undergoing a period of emotional change, distress or turmoil and are looking for a clear way through your problems. Email counselling provides this in a way that is enjoyed by many. Many people find that by simply writing their problems to the counsellor, it enables them to see the issues more clearly. When we are writing, it opens up different parts of the brain, it makes us use different vocabulary, sometimes we might analyse the situation more clearly when it is written down in front of us.
Many therapies over the years are built on the foundations of writing your problems down on paper. The therapeutic undertaking of writing either letters or journals is taken one step further. In the past you may have written letters to someone who has caused you pain or who you have unspoken thoughts or feelings about.
Because email counselling can take place at any time and from the comfort of your own home, it is a very convenient choice for many.

When counselling by email, it also allows the counsellor to have a very ‘considered overview’ of the situation which might not be possible instantly possible in a face to face setting.

Some people are concerned about…..
Spelling, grammer and vocabulary! You are not back at school…promise. It is the essance of what you are writing that matter’s to me, not the typos and correct use of a tenses. Likewise, I will run a spellcheck before sending to you but if my grammer is a little ‘off-key’, I won’t loose any sleep over it, so neither should you worry about your’s. (Yes, those typos were intentional!)
Security! I know it can be quite daunting to pour your heart out and not be sure what will happen to it at the other end. For your peace of mind, I have a dedicated email address for email counselling. I created it and host it myself so only I have the password. Our email exchanges are totally private and they will be kept confidential with all identifying factors removed from them while our exchanges take place.

How Does it Work?
It is not just an exchange of brief messages that you might have with a friend. There is a structure to email counselling, just as there is with face to face counselling. Once you have contacted me regarding email counselling, I will send you an introductory email with some outlines on how you can get the best out of our counselling.
You will then send me an email (of up to 5000 words) giving me as much detail as possible and I will respond in an email, again of up to 5000 words with my reply. I may seek your clarification on anything I cannot understand from your initial email before I reply.
I will take up to an hour replying to you (the usual length of a counselling session).

How Much Does it Cost?
Email counselling is very cost effective with each email exchange costing £30.
How Long Does it Last?
There are no set times. I would hope that you enter into a series of exchanges to effect real change in your life. Often people use email counselling over a period of say, every two weeks for three months, others will use it as a one off session.

COMMON SENSE COACHING©

September 1, 2011 By

Don't panic, I've got a plan!

COMMON SENSE COACHING©

As the inimitable Michael Caine said as Charlie Croker in The Italian Job, ‘Hang on, lads; I’ve got a great idea,’ and surely, when all is said and done, isn’t that what ‘Coaching’ is about? It is the suggestion and more importantly the execution of ideas and action.

My approach to Coaching is not based in the ‘high five’, hyperbole of unrealistic coaching methods.

Working with you, to adopt a truly COMMON SENSE COACHING © approach to your life. A life audit is a better term.
Changing your life is simple, it’s just not all that easy……without a great plan!

Do any of these things sound familiar to you?
• Failed relationships
• Poor relationships with children, ex-es, workmates, neighbours or friends
• Failed entrepreneurial business attempts
• Procrastination
• Inability to stick to a diet or exercise plan
• Lack of confidence in social situations
• Nerves getting the better of you at tests, interviews
• Unhappy with the progress you have made in life, work or towards the future?

The COMMON SENSE COACHING © programme I have developed over the last six years is a structured and easy to follow approach to changing your life in the shortest possible time.
So often in life, simply because we have so much emotion invested in our choices, we make the wrong choices or the same mistakes, over and over again.

COMMON SENSE COACHING© is based on three simple steps:
A) The Current Situation
B) The Situation You Want to Find Yourself In
C) How to Get From A to B
SIMPLE!

It takes effort, honesty, analysis, research and some hard work and determination but the rewards are yours for the taking.

HYPNOTHERAPY

September 1, 2011 By

Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis has really started to ‘come out of the closet’ as the must have therapy of the last 10 years. Before that, it was regarded as just a little too kooky for most. Television shows and stage demonstrations of people pretending to be donkeys whilst rubbing in imaginary sun tan lotion put paid to it being taken seriously but those days are gone.

I don’t think there is a more powerful tool to use for making fast, effective and long lasting changes to behaviours and emotions.

Don't let lack of confidence rule your life

Totally safe and proven to work, so how can it fit into your life?

Well, how often have you looked at a friend, family member, colleague or even a celebrity and thought, ‘ why do you keep making the same mistake over and over again?’ It could be their lack of confidence is holding them back, their low self esteem stops them from achieving what they want or something such as a phobia stops them enjoying life to the full. Year in and year out they probably do the same thing – never achieving a different outcome.
It’s an easy trait to identify in others but often harder to admit in ourselves but maybe you are at that point of recognising patterns of behaviour are holding you back?
Hypnosis could offer the key to unlock that door that stops you achieving your full potential.
Hypnosis (the state of being hypnotised) and hypnotherapy (therapy, including positive suggestion that takes place whilst the person is hypnotised) are a powerful tool. Harmless. Safe. Easy to use and with no side effects.
So why do we keep making the same mistakes in our lives or become so phobic over something so small,

Coulrophobia-The fear of clowns

such as a spider? Well, believe it or not, it’s all about our survival. Our wonderfully powerful sub-conscious mind that is there to make sure we keep safe and survive day to day life has got the messages mixed up.
As much as the evidence is in front of you that you shouldn’t be frightened of the tiny spider or be worried speaking in front of a group of peers about a subject you know so well, the subconscious mind will tell you otherwise.
It is a very powerful entity. It is there to protect you from harm.
So how does this apply to the thousand and one uses for hypnotherapy?

For simplicity, they are best divided into two categories:
Phobia and Fear Responses such as:
Fear of Snakes
Fear of Heights
Fear of Buttons
Fear of Clowns
Driving Test Nerves

Learned Behaviour Responses such as
Social Anxiety
Lack of Confidence
Over Eating
Difficulty in concentrating

Some conditions are more difficult to categorise and it is very common to have multi faceted problems BUT all can be treated with positive hypnotic suggestion.
To find out more about hypnosis and what happens in treatment, click on the Interesting Reads Link above and you will see how to find a reputable hypnotherapist and what to expect.

There are very few people who do not respond to hypnotherapy and these will be extreme cases. I can almost guarantee if you are able to read and comprehend this RIGHT NOW, you are able to benefit from hypnotherapy.

All hypnotherapy treatment you receive will include free recordings and workbooks for you to continue your treatment at home.

The easiest way to find out how hypnotherapy can help you, is to give me a call and take up my offer of a free initial telephone consultation.
