Brainspotting in the therapy room
Brainspotting is an alternative therapy which uses spots in an individual’s visual field in order to support the processing of trauma trapped within the subcortical brain, the area of the brain responsible for motion, consciousness, emotions and learning.
Brainspotting therapy is an innovative and highly effective therapeutic approach focusing on connections between mind and body.
The specialised form of psychotherapy is formulated to help individuals in accessing and processing deep rooted emotions, memories or traumas. Based on the premise that ‘where you look affects how you feel’ finding eye positions which correlate with unconscious, emotional experiences.
If you are interested in learning more or experiencing this type of treatment please follow the booking process.
Dog Therapy for Mental Wellbeing
Research has shown that incorporating dogs into therapy can yield notable improvements in mental wellness by offering emotional support. Therapy dogs are purposefully trained to provide a gentle and comforting presence for individuals grappling with distress or emotional challenges. These remarkable animals are carefully selected and trained for their patience, and they offer unreserved acceptance and affection, often sitting on laps to provide additional emotional support, particularly for issues like anxiety.
The versatility of therapy dogs enables them to access a wide array of settings, including hospices, retirement/nursing homes, schools, and hospitals, where their presence can contribute significantly to the emotional well-being of those they encounter.
Group work
At Sue Blackshaw Counselling, we understand the value of group work in exploring and addressing mental wellbeing. Our group sessions provide a platform for individuals to connect with others who may be experiencing similar emotions and challenges. Participants can gain insights and coping strategies while feeling supported by the group dynamic.
The group sessions focusing on anxiety, anger, and grief are designed to foster a safe and inclusive environment where participants can share their experiences and learn from one another. These sessions provide an opportunity to explore common themes, develop a deeper understanding of personal emotions, and cultivate effective coping mechanisms.
By engaging in group work, individuals can not only gain valuable knowledge about mental wellbeing but also find comfort in knowing that they are not alone in their struggles. The shared experiences and interactions with like-minded individuals can promote a sense of community and offer new perspectives on managing anxiety, anger, and grief.
If you are interested in participating in group sessions to further your understanding of mental wellbeing and connect with others on a similar journey, we welcome you to reach out to Sue Blackshaw Counselling for more information.
