Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy doesn’t just give you some short term coping strategies, it aims to get to the roots of what is holding you back, and to create lasting change, enabling you to live a fuller life.

With years of exploration across various disciplines, Ajay has found that Somatic Psychotherapy (Hakomi), which engages the mind, emotions, and the body, is a potent way to approach therapy. It delves into core life issues deeply and holistically, helping you realize your full potential.

When we start, you will learn coping strategies to give immediate relief form the stresses of life. We will also work deeply on how core beliefs have been formed and how to change them. These beliefs have often been held since early childhood so changing them can have a profound and lasting effect. We can be unburdened of things we may have been carrying for years, we can feel a lot lighter and freer… Read More

Why We Use Mindfulness-Based Counselling

Mindfulness helps us to stay centred and grounded in challenging situations, so that we get less triggered.

Using mindfulness we can realise our full potential as people.

This helps us enormously as then we can find much better ways of responding to life’s challenges. Our approach isn’t about short-term coping; it’s about addressing the root causes of what’s holding you back, creating lasting transformation, and enabling you to lead a more fulfilling life. Mindfulness can be easily learned through counselling as a day to day coping strategy, as well as explored in more depth through meditation. At its deepest, mindfulness is about experiencing ourselves fully, about realising who we really are… Read More

Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally

Brief Therapy

Psychotherapy need not go on for years. The aim is that trauma and our limiting beliefs do not have to be a life sentence, and that we can relatively quickly resolve the issues that confront us.

Tailoring a session to your needs, Ajay uses a range of proven counselling techniques to support you in your life. This can mean brief therapy, psychological education, or in depth psychotherapy. Often emotions and events can seem overwhelming or we can feel stuck and unable to see a way forward. In brief therapy, you’ll learn practical tools for daily life to navigate challenging situations and emotions.

Quote of the Week

“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.”
– David Richo

Interpretation

I have absolutely found this to be true in my work. Often our wounds show up as self – protection, like an overactive guard dog. There to protect us from attack. There is nothing wrong with that, a bit of self – protection is useful around certain people! Often we simply need to start to notice when it is safe to let our guard down – hopefully that would include our close friends and maybe our partner!

When we let our guard down then our more vulnerable parts start to show, which might involve working with childhood wounds. But vulnerable does not always mean weak and that increased openness might allow us to get much closer to our loved ones. Then we can have more fulfilling and nourishing relationships with them. We start to get know the buried parts of ourselves that might, as Richo says, be our most beautiful parts; the parts that we need to get to know to feel whole and to love ourselves. From that place we relate to ourselves and to other people very differently and start to enjoy life more, to find life richer and more fulfilling!
