Integration...

Mark employs a variety of techniques and methods within clinical practice. Every client is different and so are our needs. With this in mind, Mark discusses what will be most useful and appropriate with each client.

NLP therapy

We don't just process the world intellectually with our heads, but through our bodies too, using our senses.
Neurolinguistic Programming is a powerful discipline that enables us to explore the relationships between how we think and feel (neuro), how we communicate (linguistic) and our patterns of behaviour and emotion (programming). NLP therapy can be of particular help to people who have been cognitively ruminating on a problem for some time.

CBT

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a talk-based therapy based on the theory that psychological symptoms are related to the interaction of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Therapist and patient work together on identifying and directly changing thoughts and behaviors that may be maintaining symptoms. CBT often involves work for the client to do between sessions.

Hypnosis

Clinical hypnotic trance is a useful and empowering way to open own minds to new possiblities and resources within us. We all go into and out of different forms of trance everyday - often without realising it. Daydreaming is one example. So clinically it can feel a bit different for everyone. It can be deeply effective for reducing stress, quitting habits, improving performance, helping with weight-loss & improving sleep it can help with almost all areas of life.

The ethical and clinical uses of Hypnosis are scientifically proven, useful and far-reaching. It is not mysterious or magical and there are no secrets to it (despite the fact many people pretend there are). It is impossible for hypnosis to work against someone's will. When you want something to work your brain works differently and that's when hypnosis is most effective.

  • Hypnotic states are detectable in the brain and body.
  • Hypnosis can create Neurogenesis (the creation of new brain cells) 
  • Hypnosis helps create change in your automatic, unconscious mind (so change feels much easier)

Gestalt Therapy

Gestalt therapy focuses on our individual experience in the present moment, the therapist-client relationship, and our different environmental and social contexts. It helps us better understand the self-regulating adjustments we all make as a result of the overall situation. As we understand these better it affords us the opportunity to observe what works for us and what are perhaps obsolete responses. Again it emphasizes personal responsibility.
