Therapy Overview and Problem Index

PSI offer three main areas of therapeutic help: Solution Focused Counselling; Brief Psychotherapy and Ericksonian Hypnotherapy.

What is Solution Focused Counselling?

This is a pro-active form of counselling that assists you in identifying what changes you need in your life with the emphasis on helping you find the resources that are required to achieve these changes. Our therapists avoid lengthy analysis of your past by concentrating on how your problems occur in the present and what sort of changes you would like in the future.

What is Brief Psychotherapy?

Brief Psychotherapy comprises a family of therapies with common features. They are all 'objective-oriented'. Having identified your 'starting-point' and your intended 'destination' we have a wide range of techniques to help you get there. Brief psychotherapy is a fast, effective approach to human behavioural change using the power of your imagination and a well-proven and eclectic methodology which includes elements of Gestalt; NLP; Transactional Analysis; Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy; Systemic Family Therapy; Dreamwork and Psycho-Semantics. The term 'Brief' comes from the average number of sessions (less than 10).

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis is one of the techniques that our therapists use to enable them to speed the process of change. There is nothing ‘magical’ about it. The hypnotic trance allows the therapist to communicate directly with your unconscious learning processes thus enabling you to learn new thinking habits and behaviours easily and quickly. In Ericksonian Hypnotherapy there are no 'gimmicks' employed to induce the trance state, no flashing lights, dangling pendulums or staring eyes. The therapist simply talks to you until your unconscious feels comfortable about entering the trance state which it then does at its own pace, naturally and easily. Remember, trance is not essential for effective change, it simply speeds-up the process.

How Effective Are These Techniques?

We have many satisfied clients and although no form of therapy is 100% successful, we are confident that most problems will respond to this highly focused approach, especially when compared with longer-term psychotherapy, psycho-analysis or traditional counselling. What is my next step?

If you have a problem you wish to discuss, please contact us. PSI Consultancy offer a short (5-10 minute) free consultation over the phone, in which we can discuss the options for your problem.  The fee per therapy session (usually one to one-and-a-half hours) is £45. Reductions may be available (at the therapist's discretion) for those with low-income, students etc. Fees are payable at the end of each session and there is no charge for a cancellation as long as reasonable notice is given (24 hours plus).

Self-Development Summer Course

The Emergence of Self

Do you sometimes feel as if you have become detached from the life going on around you?

Do you spend time wondering if your life has a purpose?

Do you find the things/events you look forward to often seem strangely disappointing emotionally?

Do you commonly have problems making decisions about what YOU want?

 

These are all signs on an existential crisis, or put simply, you have become disassociated from your sense of self!

There is no “You Are Here” arrow on the map of You.

Symptoms that often accompany this condition are insomnia, sleep disturbance, headaches, eating problems, muscle tension and fatigue.

 

PSI are offering a seven-day intensive course to help you find your way back to YOU! We have twenty year’s experience of designing and applying re-association treatment protocols.

 

The week will consist of a mixtures of lectures, group exercises, workshops, study sessions and one-to-one therapy.

 

Problems addressed include social phobia:, anxiety states:, self-image, self esteem and self-confidence issues.

 

We will email you a full program as soon as this has been finalised.

 

The Summer Course, this year, runs from August 3rd till August 9th, inclusive. As always, we limit numbers so early booking is recommended.

 

The £1,500  fee includes full-board accommodation in the New Forest Hotel (outside Southampton), transport to and from course venue, all teaching and therapy, and V.A.T.

All course materials are supplied.
