Mental Health Treatment Options

Counselling

A talk therapy, helping the client to map out their needs and how to achieve them. 

This means that you are able to talk freely and absolutely confidentially to your therapist about your feelings, what may have happened to you and how you feel about work, relationships, or any area of your life. 

The therapist will help you to understand what is going on and help you to understand and give you help and information on what you may be able to do to help yourself

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. 

Associated with the positive effect of this component. 

It helps the brain to store the trauma to a different part of the brain.

During trauma the brain stores the memory in an active part of the brain which constantly brings the memory to the present. 

EMDR moves the memory to a part of the brain which stores the memory, but does not constantly bring it into function.

Hypnosis

Hypnosis is ruled by what the client wants, the hypnotist cannot make anyone do anything that is against their wishes or beliefs. 

During hypnosis the therapist can speak to the unconscious part of the brain and set goals or desires that the client wants to achieve.

NLP  

Neuro Linguistic Programming is a method of communication so that when talking to other you not only build rapport quickly, but generally are able to speak to people in the way they want to hear things.  It is a way of changing someone’s thoughts and behaviours to help them achieve their desired outcomes.  It is a way of changing the way we think, act or file information to our advantage.  This is done through communication and changing how we think, fell and act about certain problems which affect our everyday life.

Time Line Therapy

Involves treatment at an unconscious level and allows a client to surrender negative emotions linked to past experiences and transform their internal programming. 

In time line therapy we find which way our memories and future are stored. 

We are able to release negative memories or habits which are no longer useful to us. 

The therapy also offers a breakdown system which looks at the whole of you and corrects that which needs attention. 

The breakdown system usually takes about 4-6 hours.

Resource Therapy  

Is based on Ego State Therapy taught by Helen and John Watkins. 

They believe that the person is not one homogenous whole, but made up of different parts. 

In Resource therapy we speak to the part that is hurt or needs help and give that part what it needs to become healthy. 

It is an extremely kind therapy and many clients report that after just one session they feel so much lighter. 

It is a remarkable therapy and the client generally only needs a few sessions to complete their treatment.   

To explain it a little more imagine a Pirate Ship with one wheel at the helm where the ship is steered from. 

Now only one part of the person can steer the ship at any one time. 

On the top deck are all our parts which we use daily, which can go to the wheel at any time to help us do whatever it is that we need. 

These parts are what we call healthy parts and do not need any help. 

Right down the bottom on the ship are the parts of us that we either do no use any more, for example the skill used to ride a tricycle, and also the parts of us that may hold shame, or those parts which are not comfortable in going to the wheel and hold position on the top deck. 

These parts we class as unhealthy. 

In resource therapy the therapists can allow us to speak directly to these parts and give them what they need to become healthy again.
