Balanced Minds
I set up Balanced Minds in March 2015 to offer psychological therapies including Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Coaching to help you achieve your goals. My services are offered to individuals as well as to businesses for their employees. I work for both the NHS and in Private Practice and am fully accredited and a member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I also offer supervision to fellow practitioners.
In general, psychological therapy, psychotherapy and counselling are different terms for the same thing. The British Psychological Society defines psychotherapy as "the practice of alleviating psychological distress through talking rather than drugs; indeed, it is often referred to as ‘talking therapy’."
I believe that the aim of therapy is to enhance psychological flexibility in the
long-
- Understanding our experiences in the context of our lives to increase self-
compassion - Learning new skills to change aspects of our environment and our own behaviour so that we can be solution focussed when this is appropriate
- Accepting we are not in control of everything all of the time so that we become more comfortable with difficult feelings we experience when we are unable to do something to change things around us or within us
