Psychotherapy and energy healing in Bedford

Welcome

There is always a view from the path of our life that we follow, at every turn and at any place. Sometimes the panorama is spectacular, positive and uplifting; at other times the view is misty, cloudy and uncertain, or even dark and disturbing. As someone who loves to walk in a place such as the Lake District with its many breathtaking views and paths, this brings to mind not only the choices and pathways found in life, but also those found on the therapeutic journey and the many views from it and within it!

You may find yourself here reading this for a number of reasons. It could be that life and its challenges are overwhelming at this moment in time; and you need to space to work this through. Or maybe yo find yourself here as your personal and professional choices require you to begin a journey of development and increasing self knowledge. This may be a professional requirement or a response to the call of an inner voice urging you to follow a deeper path or to change direction completely.

Psychotherapy and energy psychology can help you on your journey following your inner path; both exist as practices with their own professional standards, ethos and culture. In simple terms the former involves working with the psyche through conversation and the latter with the energies of the body through part conversation and a stimulation through tapping of the meridians identified and used in acupuncture. At first glance they may appear to be mutually exclusive, but therapists like myself following innovators such as Phil Mollon seek out an integrated practice where both are in evidence.

My psychotherapy is Jungian, psychodynamic and transpersonal and is built on a dialogue rooted in the developing relationship and partnership between myself and my client. It also has elements of both Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy developed by John Kabat Zinn; and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy developed by Aaron Beck. Both of these in different ways make us aware of the connections between thoughts and feelings, their relationship and the potential for change.

My energy psychology is defined by Psychoanalytic Energy Psychotherapy and contains elements of TFT, EFT and similar techniques such as those devised by Tapas Fleming

My energy healing is focussed on the relationship and balance between mind and body. It is built on a dialogue which is focussed on the tones of the voice, pure sound and the channeling and focusing of energies.

There are many reasons for seeking therapy and beginning a psychotherapeutic journey. Entering into psychotherapy will bring both the therapist and the client into a close focus upon the inner world of the client.

Some possible reasons for a therapeutic dialogue may include:

bereavement and loss
anxiety and depression
managing career change
loss of energy
problems with relationships and identity
recovery from illness
mid life crisis
personal review and change
professional development and growth

......and many other circumstances and situations.

I work in dedicated premises used solely for psychotherapy and counselling. The rooms are comfortable, quiet and ideal for the purpose. Situated to the east of the centre of Bedford they are easily accessible to those living in Northampton, Luton and Milton Keynes. A Google Maplink is provided on my contacts page.

Please contact me for an initial appointment so that we can discuss a future dialogue together.

Thank you.
