What are psychotherapy and counselling ?
There are many forms of counselling and therapy but they are all simply ways of understanding what we want from our lives and how we might go about achieving those goals. Martin uses the established process of Neuro Linguistic Psychotherapy. This style of working examines how people understand the world around them, and he helps people create their own success by showing them how they achieved success in the past.
As we grow up we learn very quickly about how the world works and how it affects us. Unfortunately, we do not always come to the right conclusions and we do not always notice when things change. Without really noticing, we behave in ways that can be at best limiting and at worst harmful to us.
As we grow we may do some of the following:
- Make generalisations based on our experiences that do not always hold true.
- Ignore information that we may not understand or do not want to know.
- Try to ensure that what we do experience is re-shaped to support our view of things.
During his fifteen years working in the statutory and voluntary sectors, Martin has developed a wide range of skills and techniques. He works to ensure that the issues and concerns that you want to deal with are explored in a precise manner. The objective is to secure the changes that you want as quickly as you want them.
Topics that commonly arise are:
- Weight Loss
- Relaxation
- Assertiveness
- Relationships
- Bereavement
- Anger
