Welcome. If you'd like to speak to a psychotherapist online via Skype I invite you to go to my website and learn more about online psychotherapy.
So being able to speak to an online psychotherapist for anxiety is particularly useful because usually if you're experiencing chronic anxiety you may find it rather difficult to leave home or go to see a therapist in an office. And the thought of medication and other treatment approaches might be rather intimidating.
So being able to speak to an online psychotherapist via Skype is much more convenient and much more comfortable for most people. And that's the approach that I really specialize in - providing an online therapy resource as a way of working with difficult emotions like anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety and also OCD.
The style of psychotherapy that I offer online is called Mindfulness Therapy, and this is really a very effective way of learning how to manage difficult emotions such as anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches you how to change the way that you relate to your emotions and also to your thoughts. We have to learn to form a relationship with our emotions in which we do not become overwhelmed or consumed by those emotions.
We need to be able to sit with those emotions, observe them, but not become overwhelmed by them. And this is what I will teach you during the online therapy sessions. I will teach you how to sit with your emotions without becoming overwhelmed, and this is a central theme in all Mindfulness Therapy.
The particular style of Mindfulness Therapy that I've developed some 20 years ago now is designed to help you not only form a stable relationship with your emotions but also to explore how to heal anxiety depression and other emotions. And this we do by developing a response based on compassion and friendliness with our emotions.
The typical habitual response that most people develop is that they try to avoid their anxiety or they try to avoid anxiety producing situations and they react with fear towards their anxiety or panic attacks.
So avoidance will not heal anxiety. It simply feeds the anxiety. And the same goes for developing aversion or fear towards your anxiety. If you react in any way to your anxiety it's only going to make it worse, basically.
So when we learn to sit with our anxiety we learn to to see that anxiety as a part of our self that needs our help and need support. We learn to see the anxiety as a part that is in need. And in fact we learn to approach our anxiety very much the same way that a parent would approach a child in need.
The anxiety is very much like a child in many ways. It is conditioned, it has limited ability to change itself and it requires the intervention of a larger entity, like a parent.
Well during mindfulness training, we learn to become that parent to our own emotions, and that is a central requirement for healing. We have to become a parents to our anxiety. When you can approach your anxiety like that then you will facilitate healing and make it much more likely that healing will occur.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy. So if you're looking for an online psychotherapist who can help you overcome anxiety using the techniques of Mindfulness Therapy then please go to my website and contact me with any questions you may have about this approach and whether it will work for you.
My clients tell me they really enjoy Mindfulness Therapy, particularly because it gives you very practical methods that you can use yourself between therapy sessions. So you effectively will be developing a set of skills for working with your anxiety and these skills will help you overcome the habitual reactivity that causes your anxiety. It also will help you reduce the intensity of your anxiety.
So there are many advantages of working with an online therapist for anxiety or depression or any other emotional problem. Convenience of course, is one of the main reasons why people like online therapy and indeed it is becoming increasingly popular. Like anything else it's web-based and people run their lives from the interface of Google or their computer; they like Internet choice, and choice is one of the main features of online therapy. The Online Therapy movement means you can browse hundreds of different types of therapy and different therapists to find what suits you. So that greater freedom of choice is an important factor for online therapy and that's why people choose this approach.
Many of my clients have already been to traditional in-person therapists and have often tried medications, and generally the feedback that I get is that traditional therapy may be useful up to a point but it doesn't seem to really change the underlying cause of anxiety and depression, and that's why people come to me for help using these mindfulness methods that I've developed over the years.
Mindfulness Therapy is very much focused on helping you change the underlying cause of your anxiety; the actual mechanism that creates anxiety now, not analyzing your past or trying to develop some sort of different understanding so much, but really more, looking at the mechanism that creates anxiety and changing that right now, the way it affects you right now.
Mindfulness training, of course, is all about focusing on the present moment. How you experience things now is what is important, much more so than just analyzing the past. Of course, if past emotional trauma is affecting how you experience things now and it's a factor that causes anxiety, then we work on that, but we work on how it works in the present, and that is one thing that makes mindfulness so powerful.
So we're not really just trying to deliver different ways of understanding our mind. We're trying to change the way that the mind works and that is very much more effective in the long run.
Medications. Again they have their place, but do they really change anything? Do they change the underlying psychological habits that create your anxiety? Do they stop anxiety producing thoughts? No. Generally medications do very little other than reduce symptoms for a while.
But it's the same thing, you have to get to the underlying cause, not just treat symptoms.
So if you'd like to learn more about working with an online therapist for your anxiety and you would like to learn more about the Mindfulness Therapy approach that I teach, please go to my website and please reach out to me with any questions you may have. I'm happy to answer your questions.
When you feel ready, you can schedule an online therapy session with me over Skype and you will see for yourself just how effective Mindfulness Therapy can be for overcoming anxiety.
Typically, most of the clients that I have worked with report significant changes and improvements within the first three or four sessions, and that's what you should expect. Psychotherapy should not be a long-term process. You should expect to see changes within weeks, not months or years. If it takes that long then I would simply ask you to question whether that approach is right for you.
