The Process of Therapy
Counselling/Psychotherapy: Tending to the Roots for Deeper Growth
Imagine your mind as a tree, with your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours forming its branches and leaves. While the branches may seem unruly or the leaves weathered, true change begins beneath the surface—at the roots. Counselling and psychotherapy work like a gentle gardener, helping you tend to those roots, unearth what’s buried, and provide the nourishment needed for genuine, lasting growth.
1. Understanding the Issue:
We’ll begin by exploring the specific challenges you want to address—whether it’s a fear, habit, or negative self-perception. Together, we’ll identify the thought patterns and behaviours contributing to the issue and how they’re impacting your life.
2. Guided Hypnosis:
Using a state of deep relaxation, hypnosis allows us to access your subconscious mind. In this state, we’ll work to reframe limiting beliefs, introduce positive suggestions, and instil healthier patterns.
3. CBT Techniques for Daily Life:
Once new patterns are established during hypnosis, I’ll provide you with evidence-based CBT strategies to help you reinforce these changes in your daily life. These practical tools empower you to stay in control and sustain the progress we make in sessions.
4. Building Lasting Change:
As we continue, we’ll fine-tune the techniques to ensure they fit your needs and lifestyle, helping you cultivate a confident, resilient mindset that aligns with your goals.
