Counselling and Psychotherapy in Matlock,
Derbyshire
Are you are anxious, unhappy, depressed or suicidal? If so I may be able to help you safely emerge from those negative feelings. Perhaps you just need a safe space where you can explore a persistent and difficult issue. Whichever applies to you, being able to explore your issues in complete confidentiality within a safe environment with a specially qualified person is of vital importance.
Worries become a real problem when they begin to cause distress. Difficulties you once regarded as trivial may seem monumental when depression descends, and the challenges that confront you at times can be just too much to bear on your own. There is the risk that you might reach the point where 'the final straw breaks the camel's back'. It is better to seek help before that happens, but even at the lowest ebb, help is only a phone call away.
If you have never previously suffered from anxiety or depression, it can feel frightening or overwhelming. Medication can be used as a prop, but counselling is a powerful way to enable you to face up to and explore the problems at your own pace.
Clients have reported being able to reduce long standing anti-depressants if that is what their aim is.
It takes courage to face your dilemma but time and again clients report that they have found it possible to enjoy life again, having been empowered through self-exploration to discover their own solutions.
Person-centered Counselling
(founded by Carl Rogers)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Gestalt
'Creativity is a celebration of life' (Joseph Zinker). Gestalt is the process of working creatively with imagination, exploring dreams, changing awareness and living in the present moment more fully.
Transpersonal - the bridge between psychotherapy and the spiritual.
Deep Memory Process
Briefly, DMP is a therapy which can help to transform our negative behaviours which are caused by buried memories of which influence the way we behave and how we think and feel about ourselves without really knowing why. Clients have reported how they previously sabotaged their attempts at living more fully in the present, and with even one DMP session the results can be significant. It is always a positive transformation. DMP is a form of psychodrama combined with hypnosis.
.
Regression therapy is another way to discover what makes us who we are, in order to accept and enjoy living more fully in the present. It can include past life regression.
It draws on aspects of Gestalt therapy (creative use of art, psychodrama and dynamic wordplay), and by the use of guided imagery to recall and work with negative narratives.

SFBT. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Integrated with the Person centered approach, I can offer short and longer term therapy.
Where a longer term therapyy is needed to get into those persistent and deeper issues, you can use the space to explore your inner and outer world in more depth. However we can discuss what will best suit your individual needs.
