1:1 Adults
I can’t do this on my own
When most people feel stuck, overwhelmed, lost or really unhappy it usually feels really hard to ask for help. Asking for help can feel like an admission of saying, “I can’t do this on my own.”
The truth is struggling is pretty normal and sometimes we just need guidance to help and support our mental wellbeing. Behind the brave faces you see, almost everyone is struggling in one way or another. Over time our bodies can become addicted to stress hormones, you may feel stuck. You may have certain personality tendencies that you think are just part of you, when in reality you are stuck in a state of fight, flight or freeze.
We don’t need to struggle taking action and asking for help is the first step. Taking the first step in the right direction by investing in yourself is just the beginning and remarkably you often begin to feel better just by taking this first step.

Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress
Throughout our life we unfortunately encounter Trauma and post traumatic stress. Trauma is any event too overwhelming for your nervous system to cope with. When trauma happens your nervous system gets locked into states of flight, fight or freeze. I will explore this with you by using a combination of therapies but mainly focussing on Integral eye movement therapy.
Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) is a developing area of rapid therapeutic change work that explores the area of undesired emotions and our ways of being. The process explores the question, “How did we learn to feel the way that we do?” and opens up the possibility of creating the appropriate change in our emotional lives.
Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) is a brief therapy that utilises simple eye movements and questioning techniques to change a particular thought pattern that may be problematic for you. IEMT techniques help to create change by rapidly reducing unwanted feelings to help you to resolve issues.
By teaching resources and skills inside the problem state, IEMT appears to bring the client more into the present moment and enables them to stay out of past negative experiences. Practitioners consistently report that IEMT has created change in their clients where no other approach has worked previously.
Fear and Phobia
Fears and phobias, some of which can be extremely crippling. A phobia is an uncontrollable panic reaction to an internal representation that is externally triggered, recurrent, irrational, and persistent. You react to the imagined version of the situation that you alone have produced. Your reaction is brought on by something, not its reason. Many people think that phobias are incurable, but we can work together to disassociate from the phobia and effectively and rapidly resolve the fear or phobia.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a condition. a fit of hysteria, chest aches, nausea, and panic attacks. Anxiety starts with feelings. Most of us don’t want to experience these terrifying, undeveloped, and vulnerable feelings. We become so preoccupied with the causes of our anxiety that we lose sight of the emotions that underlie it, which only serves to exacerbate our anxiety. When we get interested in our emotions, we frequently focus more on why we feel a specific way than what those emotions are. A person’s behaviour patterns will change as a result of teaching people how to rethink programs that they have operating but no longer need.
Pain Management
OldPain2Go® is available ONLY after your doctor has diagnosed the problem and one of the following applies:
There is nothing more can be done but manage the pain.
Your Doctor cannot find the reason after exhausting all the test processes and offers pain management.
You have a degenerative condition where it is likely the pain will not go away.
This is a talking therapy which can help you let go of unwanted pain, which is no longer serving any purpose. The process is a simple setting up of a yes signal and direct discussion with your own unconscious under guidance.
What to expect
1:1 adult therapy can be an effective method in addressing personal struggles and developing skills to manage ongoing challenges. The therapy sessions are typically held in my cottage, which is a warm and inviting environment.
It is very important to me for it to feel calm and relaxed. In this non-judgmental space, we can build a positive rapport in a relaxed way so that you feel comfortable discussing your concerns openly.
What will happen in the sessions?
My unique style combines the best in modern and holistic approaches, to quickly uncover
- Where you are and what the problem state is
- Where you would like to be and what I can guide you to change
- I will guide you on what needs to be put in place to support your social, emotional mental health.
- You are not expected to go through your story like in counselling this is to avoid revisiting unpleasant memories so you are not at risk of re traumatizing yourself.
How does Mind School do this?
