Everyone that I have worked with really benefits from the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…
"After 8 years, two therapists, many self-help books…..my hypochondria and OCD was worse than ever. I figured I would just have to live like this and deal with it. I put on a good show in front of people and cried alone. Then, I stumbled upon Peter’s website. I figured this was my last attempt. Peter is kind, understanding, and patient. He helped guide me out of the dark and see the light. He is truly there to help. He never looks at his time during sessions. I would have to remind him that time is up. His rates are reasonable so everyone cam get proper therapy. He gave me practical tools to use to overcome my anxiety. He is always available via email for advice. He truly cares about the progress of his patients. Peter changed my life and gave me the chance to enjoy my life again. I am eternally grateful to him."
During these Skype sessions I will teach you how to apply mindfulness, including mindfulness meditation for promoting recovery from all forms of anxiety, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, OCD, depression, and for help with and other forms of emotional suffering, by using the very successful teachings of Mindfulness Meditation Therapy.
This approach is particularly effective and most clients experience significant changes after 3-4 online sessions with me.
Online Mindfulness Psychotherapy is extremely effective for controlling anxiety and depression without relying on anti-anxiety medications and antidepressants. It is always better to treat the psychological cause of your psychological suffering as opposed to just suppressing symptoms.

So if you'd like to talk to an online therapist for anxiety then I do encourage you to go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service that I make available for helping people manage their anxiety more effectively using the techniques of mindfulness therapy.
So mindfulness therapy is a very powerful way of overcoming anxiety and really getting to the root of the anxiety and overcoming the underlying habitual cause of your anxiety.
We do this by really developing a very conscious and also a very friendly relationship with our anxiety, and of course this is counter-intuitive. We mostly try to avoid our anxiety, we try to run away from it. But as logical as that may seem, if you avoid your anxiety and run away from it or react to it with some form of suppression or even if you simply try to distract yourself from your anxiety you will end up making it worse.
It's only when you face your anxiety head on, but in a strategic and skilled way that you will create the right conditions for that anxiety to heal. So mindfulness therapy gives you a very practical set of tools for doing just this, for helping heal that underlying anxiety so that you can be free from it.
The methods are very effective and they are techniques that I will teach you that you can apply yourself between sessions, thereby greatly enhancing the recovery process. Most people who I work with can expect to see significant improvements within the first three to four sessions. When you start applying Mindfulness Therapy yourself you will rapidly develop the skills needed to heal your anxiety.
The first technique that I will teach you is how to meditate on your anxiety. Now most people think that meditation is a way of escaping emotional suffering, trying to free the mind of thoughts and emotions. But that's very incorrect. Mindfulness meditation is not about escaping the mind, it's about actually changing the relationship that you have with your mind. It's about learning how to develop internal compassion, internal equanimity, the ability to sit with your emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them. Without reacting with fear to your own anxiety, and so on.
We have to learn to develop a very stable and very non-reactive relationship that's based on friendliness and love. This is what produces healing. There are many traditions that teach this in one form or another, but very few traditions of psychotherapy actually show you how to develop this internal mindful compassion towards your own emotions.
This is totally different than just talking about your anxiety. Talking may produce some temporary relief from the symptoms, just like medications can produce temporary relief from the symptoms of anxiety. But just talking or just using medications is not sufficient. You have to change the way that you relate to the anxiety itself and you have to help it heal. You have to teach the anxiety how to heal itself. And there's nothing better for doing this than developing this internal compassion and friendliness that are so characteristic of mindfulness.
So if you would like to learn precisely how to do this and you would like training in how to do this, how to apply mindfulness for healing your anxiety, and you like the idea of working with an online therapist to help you overcome your anxiety, then please reach out to me and let's schedule an online therapy session. Most people see big changes even after the first session with me. Once you start applying the mindfulness methods that I will teach you will see traumatic changes.
This is a well-tested and well-documented methodology that produces results.
So if you would like to get started with me, do send me an email. Tell me about your specific struggle with anxiety and tell me what you've tried so far and then we can schedule a session so you can learn how to apply mindfulness for overcoming your anxiety more effectively. Thank you.

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.
So, if you like to learn more about Mindfulness Therapy and you like the idea of being able to speak to an online psychotherapist for anxiety, do please go to my website. Learn more about the Mindfulness Therapy approach and please email me to schedule an online psychotherapy session for your anxiety. Thank you.

Mindfulness Meditation Therapy is one of the most successful psychotherapies available for overcoming anxiety disorders. It has elements of CBT but focuses much more on changing the actual process that creates anxiety and depression in the mind.
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist offering Mindfulness Therapy, which is my specialty and which I talk about in my book, "The Path of Mindfulness Meditation."
If you would like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety through mindfulness meditation, do please go to my website and learn more about this unique approach to overcoming anxiety.
Mindfulness Therapy is particularly effective for anxiety and also for depression, and this is because it teaches you how to change your relationship to your emotions and to your thoughts so that you don't become so easily overwhelmed by recurring patterns of emotional reactivity or intrusive thoughts.
This is the major problem that most people face - is what we often call "rumination" or "automatic reactive thinking" that triggers the underlying emotion of depression or anxiety.
Mindfulness allows us to break free from this automatic process by making it conscious. We begin to see the thoughts as triggers and the moment we see the process happening we can stop it right there and then through becoming conscious of that trigger.
With practice you can learn to see thoughts and emotional reactions as they arise in the mind, but then you are able to stop them turning into anxiety and depression. In this way, we take the fuel away from that underlying anxiety or depression. If you stop feeding the fire of anxiety or depression then the emotion will burn itself out and healing becomes possible.
During Mindfulness Therapy we learn how to actually meditate on our anxiety or depression or other painful emotions. And, it is through this process that you begin to change the whole process that creates the emotional suffering.
If you would like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety or depression using Mindfulness Therapy, please go to my website and CONTACT ME and then we can schedule a therapy session over Skype.
Mindfulness Therapy works really well through online Skype therapy sessions. So, please go to my website and contact me. Thank you!

Mindfulness Therapy is a modern form of CBT that helps you break free from habitual negative thinking and teaches you how to defuse painful emotions, including traumatic memories, anxiety, panic attacks and depression and the compulsive emotions of an addiction.
CONTACT ME if you would like to learn more and schedule an online therapy session.
This Online Counseling Service is available world-wide, wherever you live.
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional psychotherapist, specializing in Mindfulness Therapy, which I offer online via Skype.
Mindfulness Therapy is a very effective way of working with anxiety, depression or addictions. Basically, it is a way of changing those habitual thought patterns that sustain your anxiety or depression, and defusing the emotion underneath the reactive thinking that fuels that thinking.
So, we work at two levels, if you like, the cognitive level, as we might do in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, and also at the emotional level. So Mindfulness Therapy is a way of, essentially, learning how to become less reactive, more free, more responsive and better able to deal with the triggers and challenges of your life.
So, basically, the way we do this is that we identify those reactive thoughts and the emotion underneath the thought and then we build a Mindfulness-Based Relationship with these thoughts; we actually learn to meditate on the thoughts and emotions themselves. Rather than trying to push them away or avoid them we actually invite them into our awareness and sit with them as if you were sitting with a friend or a child. You establish a relationship based on consciousness, conscious awareness, and the quality of friendliness.
So, Mindfulness Therapy brings this quality of conscious awareness and compassion, or friendliness, to an art, and this is what creates the right conditions for emotions to change, and what allows us to break free from those patterns of negative reactive thinking that are fueled by those emotions. We have to learn how to sit with our emotions, make friends with them and actually care for them.
Most of us are not used to this idea of actually caring for our painful emotions or caring for our negative thoughts. Our impulse is to try and get rid of them, but that will not work, as you know. If you try to get rid of negative thoughts, of negative beliefs, of negative feelings, they simply get stronger, and if you try to avoid them they simply chase after you.
What actually does make the change possible is when you stop fighting them and running away from them, but actually meditate on them. You choose to be very present in an open way with this combination of conscious awareness and friendliness that we call mindfulness. When you do that, then you stop feeding those reactive thoughts, beliefs or painful memories. When you stop feeding them through reactivity, then they begin to change, they begin to heal, they begin to transform themselves in that place of non-reactive awareness that we establish through the Mindfulness-Based Relationship that we have with them.
So, this is a very effective method, in deed, especially for working with anxiety and for overcoming depression, and it's a very good way of neutralizing those compulsive impulses that we experience in addiction and other forms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or OCD.
So, if you would like to learn more about this approach, this Mindfulness Therapy approach to healing and transforming anxiety, depression, addictions and other emotional problems, please email me and then we can schedule an online therapy session via Skype.
Most people see quite dramatic changes in very few sessions. Typically after 2-3 sessions you will notice very dramatic changes in the level of anxiety or depression and in the frequency of negative thinking.
So, if you are interested in learning more about this approach, please CONTACT ME and schedule an online therapy session. Thank you!
