Traditional Counselling involves the client talking through their current and historical difficulties, with the counsellor providing support through listening, and responding. The counsellor also asks questions to help the client reach their own insights and answers.  

The limitation of a traditional counselling approach is that is can take a long time to create lasting change. Traditional talking therapies work with the conscious mind alone, without engaging the wisdom of the body and unconscious mind.  

A somatic approach involves bringing in the wisdom of the body, and working with this wisdom to create holistic change in the life of the client.  

Neuro- (brain) Linguistic (language) Programming (patterns) recognises the power of the unconscious mind, and the power of patterns housed there to direct our choices, relationships, and actions. NLP is a modality with many tools to change these unconscious patterns quickly and easily. 

Hypnotherapy, which also works with the unconscious mind, is a powerful tool to go deep and re-pattern the brain on big issues. Addictions (smoking, drinking, eating, gambling, social media, etc) are issues readily tackled with hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy is also well-suited to address difficulties such as changing relationship patterns, phobias, changing self-love and self-care patterns, as well as physical complaints.  

All hypnotic suggestions are given to the client after the session to be used as powerful affirmations. All hypnotherapy processes can be recorded on your device during the session to listen to again and again. 

EFT, otherwise known as ‘Tapping’, is a tool based on traditional Chinese medicine, and modern neurology. It offers almost instantaneous relief from physical, emotional, and mental difficulties. It is super easy to learn and use. It is a tool that can be used anywhere, anytime – it travels everywhere with you.  

EFT can be used by children too, and is a great tool for children to have on hand, empowering them.  

EFT involves identifying the issue, then tapping on median points on the head and chest while saying a specific phrase. It can be used for a wide range of things such as anxiety, physical pain, anger, sadness, tiredness, hay fever, building empowerment, and many others. 

Timeline Processes are another modality that works with the unconscious mind to make deep and lasting changes. All of us have been involved in events, decisions, and processes in the past. These pivotal moments have shaped who we are. At the time, they may have been necessary or useful or even traumatic, however they are no longer useful to our functioning, growth, and development. While we can never change the events of our past, we can change how we feel about them and the impact on our present and future. A timeline process allows us to do this. 

Eye Movement Desentisation and Reprogramming (EMDR) has been found again and again through methodologically sound research to be a fast and effective modality to use with adults, adolescents and children as young as 3 years.

By using the power of the body and mind in an integrative way, it can treat severe trauma, C-PTSD, anxiety, and most other emotional and thought based difficulties, often in as little as 3-6 sessions. 

Learning in a group can be a powerful way to equip yourself with some of these life-changing tools. Having a room of people to bounce ideas off and learn from can increase our learning. Having others to practise tools with means that we have learnt them more deeply for when we get home.  

Courses are also a cost-effective way to learn.  

All courses come with a full course manual.
