Everyone that I have worked with really likes the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…
"I came to Peter desperate, my last hope. I had tried other therapies that failed me: Peter’s approach is just what I needed. Instead of fighting the anxiety and trying to push it away or cover it up, you become conscious of it and give it the space that it needs. Eventually it dissipates. It sounds counter-intuitive, but it is the key… and it works! I am real proof. I am now happier and more content than I have ever been in my life."
During these online therapy sessions I will teach you how to apply mindfulness, including mindfulness meditation for healing all forms of anxiety disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, OCD, persistent depression, and for help with and other emotional problems, by applying the very successful techniques of Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy.
This approach is extremely effective and you will experience significant reduction in the intensity of your anxiety or depression after the first 2-3 Skype therapy sessions with me.
Online Mindfulness Therapy is very effective for managing anxiety and depression without the need for medications. It is better to treat the psychological cause of your anxiety or depression instead of just suppressing symptoms.

So as a professional psychotherapist I am often asked by my clients: Is it possible to overcome anxiety without using medications? Is it possible to heal from anxiety without using medications? And the answer is yes it is.
So medications have a place, but they should only be used as a short term way of managing the symptoms of anxiety. If you really want to recover from anxiety and you want to break free from your dependence on anxiety medications then you need to address the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety.
So anxiety, like any other form of emotional suffering including depression, is basically psychological in nature. It is caused by a psychological process. Now that process may be triggered by many different factors including a chemical imbalance in the body or brain, hormonal problems, and so on. There are many different types of triggers. But the important thing for you to understand is that those triggers trigger a psychological mechanism that creates the experience of anxiety and that is basically a habit. It's a psychological habit and that habit can be changed. And if you want to re recover from anxiety fully you have to change that habit. And that's what I focus on during my online therapy sessions for anxiety.
As an online therapist for anxiety, I will teach you how to apply mindfulness to heal that underlying habit that causes your anxiety. You do this by actively cultivating a conscious and compassionate relationship with our emotions. We effectively learn how to meditate on our anxiety. This is the best way to promote the healing and recovery from anxiety.
You have to change the way that you relate to it. You have to change from being reactive towards your anxiety to being compassionate towards your anxiety. If you fall into the habit of becoming reactive you simply feed the anxiety and it cannot heal. But if you generate and cultivate a relationship based on compassion with your anxiety then you create the right conditions that allow that anxiety to heal itself.
So it is the quality of your relationship with your anxiety that is the key factor for recovery from anxiety. The more that you can develop that compassionate relationship that is non-reactive, the more that you effectively teach the anxiety how to heal itself.
So we do this by meditating on our anxiety. We cultivate that quality of mindful relationship with it that allows it to learn how to heal itself. We can also help the anxiety heal by interacting with it. One of the most effective ways known for interacting with any kind of emotion, including anxiety and depression, is to interact with the imagery of that emotion.
So all emotions are based around imagery. It's how you see the emotion in the mind that really determines how strong that emotion is.
During our meditation on our anxiety we explore this imagery and then we explore changing the imagery. Because when you change that imagery you change the emotion.
So that's one of the methods that we can employ to help the anxiety learn how to change itself, by changing his imagery.
If you would like to learn more about the mindful approach to working with anxiety and you would like to learn how to overcome your anxiety without medication. And you also like the idea of working with an online therapist for your anxiety, then please contact me.

You will see changes after the first session, when you start applying the mindfulness techniques that I will teach you.

The process is very, very effective indeed and most people see dramatic improvements after the first few sessions. Even After that very first session you should expect to see significant changes.
So you would like to get started with me and you'd like to work on your anxiety using mindfulness, then please contact me now and let schedule a therapy session via Skype. Thank you.

So if you're looking for an online therapist to help you overcome anxiety, I invite you to take a look at my website and learn more about the online Mindfulness Therapy service that I offer over Skype for the treatment of anxiety without using medications and without other procedures like that.
This is a very different kind of approach, one that focuses on teaching you how to work with your emotions more effectively using the techniques of Mindfulness Therapy, including mindfulness meditation.
So the way that I teach meditation is that you learn how to meditate on the mind and in this case on your emotions and specifically on your anxiety. You have to develop a very close and conscious relationship with your emotions if you want them to heal. The biggest problem that I see is that people try to run away from their anxiety and fear. Trying to avoid anxiety and trying to escape from anxiety producing situations is not a good strategy.
The avoidance is classified as a form of reactivity, emotional reactivity that is itself based on fear. And so if you react to anxiety with avoidance, you are basically feeding that underlying anxiety with more fear. So avoidance is not a suitable strategy.
Medications also can be viewed as a form of avoidance. They may provide a temporary relief from the unpleasant sensations of anxiety, but that is not an effective treatment for anxiety. The medications are really just reinforcing that underlying anxiety.
So if you want to heal anxiety, you must work on developing a conscious relationship with that anxiety that's not based on avoidance, but is based on being totally consciously present with that emotion and other associated emotions.
This is what I will teach you during our therapy sessions together. I will teach you how to develop a mindful presence with your anxiety. In that process you will be training out of the primary process of reactive identification that also feeds the anxiety.
You learn to be present with your anxiety without becoming identified with it. That means without becoming overwhelmed and consumed by that anxiety. We learn how to develop a conscious presence with our anxiety in which we remain free from that anxiety.
So this is an essential condition if you want to heal anxiety, you have to learn how to be present for your anxiety in the same way as a parent learns to be present with a child that's suffering. You cannot avoid the child's pain, you must be present with it if you want to help that child heal its suffering. Our emotions are very much like a child. They are conditioned, they are very limited in the consciousness and are not very good at resolving their own suffering, just like a child, the child doesn't have the resources to heal its own suffering. That's what the parent is for. So we have to learn to be like a parent to our anxiety and to any other emotions that are causing suffering.
And this is the whole purpose of meditation.
Meditation means learning to be present with your anxiety by focusing your mindful attention on that anxiety and then bringing in the qualities of fearlessness and love, which is the natural condition of your True Self.
You learn to comfort the anxiety, you learn to look at the structure of the anxiety and see how it works, and then you intervene in a way that helps that anxiety heal.
So building this internal relationship between your True Self and the anxiety or the Little Self is a vital process and it's very, very effective for healing anxiety. And I will teach you how to do this in detail.
Most people see quite dramatic changes when they start applying mindfulness and particularly this form of mindfulness meditation on the anxiety itself. Typically, you can expect to see dramatic improvements after the first three or four sessions. This is what we should be aiming for. Psychotherapy should be aimed at helping you heal. Just talking about your emotions is not sufficient, in my opinion, to promote efficient long-term healing. You must look at the underlying mechanism of that imagery and the patterns of reactivity and identification that feeds anxiety.
So if you would like to make real changes and produce long-term changes in your anxiety or other emotions that are affecting you in some way, then do please contact me and we can schedule some Skype therapy sessions. Thank you.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online therapist and I specialize in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety and panic attacks and also for working with depression and addictions and also for OCD.
So I'm often asked what is the best treatment for anxiety and panic attacks. Well from my experience over the years it's quite clear to me that the best treatment there is Mindfulness Therapy, that is learning how to apply mindfulness to work with your anxiety and help that anxiety heal.
So the primary job in mindfulness therapy is healing the underlying fear and anxiety. So we go about this in a number of ways. The first most important principle that I will teach you during our sessions together is how to disengage ourselves from the reactive habitual thoughts, such as worrying and rumination and patterns of negativity, that feeds the anxiety. This is something we do by developing mindful awareness to see those reactive thoughts very clearly and to break the habit of blindly identifying with them.
Thoughts in themselves are not the problem and they are not the cause of anxiety. But if we become identified with them then they become a powerful fuel that feeds anxiety, so the first job in our path of overcoming anxiety and panic attacks is to isolate these thoughts, to see them very clearly to find those habitual thoughts that feed our anxiety.
When we find these thoughts we do not try to get rid of them. We do not try to let go of those thoughts. That of course is a pointless exercise. They will simply return again. What we have to do is focus on helping those thoughts heal themselves, to basically resolve themselves, so that they do not repeat and come back again.
So we do this by learning to develop our capacity has the Observer of those thoughts. So the more we become the Observer, the less identified we become with the thoughts. And this basically neutralizes that habitual pattern of identification, which causes the thoughts to proliferate and feed the underlying anxiety.
So we learn to sit with our thoughts, with our anxiety producing thoughts, without becoming identified and without becoming reactive. We take this a stage further. We not only sit with them and develop non-reactivity, or equanimity as it's called, which is one of the principal features of mindfulness, but we also develop compassion and friendliness towards these anxiety thoughts. This is where the real healing occurs.
So compassion is another essential component of mindfulness. If there is no compassion it is not mindfulness; also if there is no clear conscious non-reactive awareness there is not mindfulness. The two together are what constitute mindfulness.
So we learn to be present with our anxiety thoughts and then we learn to respond to them with compassion, really helping those thoughts heal. And this then starts to establish healing pathways in the mind that heal the underlying anxiety. You are taking away the fuel and then we're helping the anxiety heal. This is the primary mission in mindfulness therapy for anxiety and panic attacks.
So the practical way that we go about doing this is to develop our skills in mindfulness meditation, where we meditate on the anxiety. We meditate in order to build a better quality relationship with the anxiety and its thoughts that is based on conscious awareness that is non-reactive and compassion that helps heal those reactive thoughts.
So when we stop avoiding our anxiety and panic attacks through medication, but rather really focus on developing a conscious and compassionate relationship with our anxiety then the rate of healing greatly increases. And most people that I work with start to see dramatic changes in the level of their anxiety within a few weeks of practicing the mindfulness methods, including mindfulness meditation, that I will teach you in great detail during our online therapy sessions together.
So if you are interested in learning how to effectively overcome anxiety and panic attacks, then I invite you to contact me and let's schedule a session. You will see changes even after that very first session when you start to understand how to work with your emotions, how to work with them directly rather than escaping from them or trying to avoid them in some way, which will be not productive in the long-run.
