Alternative to cbt therapy Bristol
My purpose when we work together is to help you take back control of your thoughts, feeling and most importantly your actions. I help with much more than mere symptom management; My approach is holistic, true healing includes all aspects of being acknowledging the connectedness of mind, body and spirit. Using this approach I have freed myself from anxiety and OCD.
​
By guiding you through a transformative journey, I aim to facilitate profound and lasting change across various aspects of your life. I use a whole range of therapies and therapeutic coaching methods as we are all unique and the process will be tailored to your needs.
​
Shifting Perspectives:
​
One of the cornerstones of my approach is guiding you towards new perspectives on your thoughts and behaviors. I help you see anxiety and OCD in a new context rather than being caught in the content of your obsessions and compulsions. I will teach you how anxiety and OCD really works.
​
I facilitate a deep exploration of root causes helping empower you in your recovery. Through inner exploration and compassionate inquiry into the unconscious mind, we uncover the underlying exhaustion, traumas, beliefs, and patterns that fuel these conditions. By addressing the core issues, it is possible to manage or experience liberation from anxiety and OCD.
​
In my practice, I employ gentle yet progressive Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) techniques to help clients re-programme their subconscious mind and expand your behavioral repertoire. You are always in control of this process and we will only work at a speed that you are comfortable with.
​
Some of the techniques that I use are: EFT (tapping), NLP, timeline therapy, parts therapy, hypnotherapy and mindfulness. I have found these far more effective than attending to surface-level symptoms.
​
Through gradual exposure to triggers and the prevention of compulsive behaviors, clients learn that feelings of anxiety don't actually mean anything and it's perfectly ok to just let these emotions flow through you. This process can be quite quick and extremely effective at getting clients to the point that things that used to trigger you no longer evoke those old thoughts and emotions.
​
Compassionate Support:
​
Central to my therapeutic practice is compassionate support and empathy. I create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel free to explore their innermost thoughts and emotions without fear of criticism or rejection.
​
By fostering an alliance built on trust and understanding. I empower you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth with confidence and resilience. I am here to support you every step of the way, be that during our sessions or if you need to reach out to me at other times I am dedicated to helping you alleviate your suffering.
​
When you are at a stage where your self esteem and inner confidence has increased we can work on what you want to do with your life, helping you step out into life with a whole new attitude, goals and dreams. Get in touch and lets take that first step together.
