Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy does more than provide short-term coping strategies. It seeks to uncover the roots of what holds you back. Its goal is to create lasting change. This helps you live a fuller life.

Ajay has explored many fields over the years. He found that Somatic Psychotherapy (Hakomi) is a powerful way to do therapy. This approach connects the mind, emotions, and body. 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 explore how core beliefs have formed and how we can change them. People often hold these beliefs 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.

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 focuses on long-term change. We aim to tackle the root causes that hold you back. This helps you create lasting transformation and live a more fulfilling life.

Mindfulness is easy to learn through counselling. You can explore it more deeply through meditation. At its deepest, mindfulness is about experiencing ourselves fully; it is about realising who we really are.

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 goal is that trauma and our limiting beliefs do not have to control our lives. We can solve the problems we face fairly quickly.

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

“Once you start making the effort to ‘wake yourself up’ – that is, be more mindful of your daily activities – you suddenly start appreciating your life more.”
– Robert Biswas-Diener

Interpretation

We are surrounded by messages that life should be glamorous and exciting, all the time. But is this really possible, or even desirable? Much of the beauty in life is in small moments shared with people close to us. Or even in solitude, feeling connected to ourselves.

There is a famous zen saying, “before enlightenment chop wood and carry water, after enlightenment chop wood and carry water.” I see this as saying that much of life is filled with apparently mundane activities. Things we might find boring, and that when we are really present with them they are no longer boring. In fact we can find a sense of wonder in the simplest activities.

If you ever saw the Adam Sandler movie “Click” the main character is frustrated by how much of life is waiting for the “good bits”. So he magically gets a remote control, allowing him to fast forward to the exciting moments. Of course he ends up fast forwarding through most of his life, and learns his lesson: Savour the little things in life!
