Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I provide online mindfulness therapy over Skype.
Mindfulness Therapy is a very, very effective way of dealing with anxiety and also depression. The reason why it is so effective is because it is the most direct method there is for actually changing the pathways that create anxiety and depression in the mind.
The primary cause of anxiety and depression is habitual reactive pathways of avoidance and resistance to anxiety or depression or any other emotions, for that matter, that become chronic.
When we inadvertently establish these patterns of avoidance and aversion, it effectively prevents the anxiety or depression from healing. It simply feeds those emotional habits.
With Mindfulness Therapy, we start to actually bring the opposite of avoidance and the opposite of resistance to those emotions that need our help. We cultivate conscious awareness of our anxiety or depression and we also develop compassion and friendliness towards those emotions.
We start to see that those emotions are simply parts of our self that is in pain and that requires our compassion and our conscious awareness in order to heal themselves.
If we set up pathways of avoidance and resistance then we set up pathways that prevent those emotions from ever healing.
During Mindfulness Therapy sessions, we learn very practical and very direct methods for developing this extremely important relationship based on consciousness and friendliness, or compassion. This combination of consciousness and friendliness, or compassion, is the definition of mindfulness.
When you bring this quality of mind to emotional suffering, it heals. Then the emotions actually learn how to heal themselves through connection with this consciousness and friendliness that you establish. That is what they need to heal.
The best analogy here would be: think of a child. If a child is in pain, what doe it most need to heal that pain, that emotional suffering? The answer is that it most needs is connection with its parents, with its mother or father. That connection allows it to access the consciousness and compassion and friendliness of the parent, which allows that emotion to resolve itself within the child.
So, this quality of connection between your True Self, which is like the parent, and your emotional suffering, anxiety, depression, whatever it may be, which is like the child. This quality of connection is what really creates the proper psychological conditions that lead to healing, and this is what is required for anxiety and depression to resolve themselves. You are teaching the emotions how to resolve themselves through access to your True Self.
This is what I have found, over and over again, to be the most important thing there is that you can do.

Psychotherapy over Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression
If you wish to talk to a psychotherapist online over Skype go to my online therapy website to learn about Online Counseling via Skype for controlling anxiety and depression, help with addiction recovery, OCD, PTSD, Psychological Trauma and other varieties of emotional suffering not requiring medical treatment.
Traditional counseling can be beneficial, but often it does not transform the underlying structure that is the real cause of your anxiety and depression.
This also applies to the use of medications - the prescription medications may reduce symptoms for awhile, but medications are not able to change the underlying psychological process that generates your emotional suffering.
The kind of psychotherapy I provide over Skype is known as Mindfulness Therapy, which can be quite effective for eliminating chronic anxiety as well as for treating chronic depression and other psychological problems where there exists an inherent habit of negative thinking.
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I provide therapy over Skype for help with overcoming anxiety and depression and other emotional problems using Mindfulness Therapy, which is what I specialize in and that I have found, over the years, to be the most effective current treatment for persistent anxiety and chronic depression, as well.
If you want to learn more about therapy over Skype, simply go to my website and read the pages there and watch the videos posted on the website, and, of course, email me with any questions you may have. I will be happy to discuss with you how therapy over Skype using mindfulness can help you with your specific needs.
From my experience with Mindfulness Therapy, most people can expect to see significant changes after the first two or three sessions of therapy through Skype.
It is really focused on helping you learn different ways of relating to your emotions. This, I believe is the most essential feature of any successful psychotherapy. It is not so much talking about your emotions that makes the difference; it's the quality of the relationship that you build with your emotions that makes the difference.
If the relationship with your emotions is based on avoidance and resistance and suppression, then the anxiety or depression will not heal; it will remain in place and will repeat and come back over and over again.
But, if your relationship with your emotions is based on openness of mind (that is consciousness, conscious awareness) and openness of heart (that is a quality of friendliness and compassion) towards your own anxiety or depression or negative thoughts or negative beliefs or whatever is the cause of your emotional suffering.
This is what really makes the difference. When you make friends with your internal painful emotions then that creates the right conditions in which those emotions will heal, and this will lead to a reduction in the level of anxiety or depression, or any other form of emotional suffering.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches you how to do this, how to change your relationship with your emotions and how to accelerate the process of healing.
The mind needs to learn new pathways for resolving anxiety and depression rather than the old pathways that simply feed or accelerate anxiety and depression. You are essentially learning how to create new perceptual pathways in the brain that will lead to the resolution of emotional suffering.
This becomes automatic after training and the emotions effectively learn how to resolve themselves if they get activated. The resulting effect is that the level of anxiety or depression decreases significantly, such that you can say, "I no longer feel that anxiety or depression that I used to feel before Mindfulness Therapy."
So, if you would like to learn more, go to my website and email me. We can schedule a Skype therapy session so you can see for yourself just how effective this mindfulness approach is for resolving anxiety and depression.

Therapy over Skype - Skype Therapy Service
Welcome! If you're looking for therapy over Skype please go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service that I provide over Skype.
So I'm often asked is therapy over Skype as good as psychotherapy in person. And the answer is in the vast majority of cases yes. And it can even be better for many people who may be struggling with anxiety or depression or addiction.
It's often very difficult to talk about these kinds of emotional problems in a public setting. People like the greater privacy offered by therapy over Skype and online therapy in general. It's much more comfortable, it's easier to work on difficult feelings.
The style of psychotherapy that I offer over Skype is called Mindfulness Therapy, which is a particular way of working with the mind. Mindfulness is a form of consciousness that we develop. We develop conscious awareness to try and break out of these habits that create our anxiety and depression.
So anxiety and depression are basically emotional-psychological habits. They become conditioned and they operate unconsciously like any other habits. We become a victim of these habits and they can cause a great deal of suffering.
So in Mindfulness Therapy the first thing we do is make these habits conscious. We actually look very closely at our psychological habits whether that's emotional reactivity or cognitive reactivity or behavioral reactivity in the case of addiction.
We look at the actual process that's going on in the mind that creates these emotional states. We look at the patterns of reactive thinking that supports and feeds anxiety and depression. We don't just blindly accept reactive thinking or emotional reactivity. Instead we examine it and we look closely at what's actually going on.
When you take this kind of approach of inquiry, of actually exploring how your mind is creating anxiety or depression, then you can begin to change those underlying habits.
So habits thrive on the absence of consciousness, but they are very vulnerable to developing conscious awareness. When you illuminate habits with consciousness you're able to change them and often quite easily and quite quickly.
So the first training is developing more consciousness around your anxiety or depression. The primary method we use to do this is called mindfulness meditation. This means meditating on the mind. It means meditating on those thoughts and emotions or traumatic memories or beliefs, or whatever it might be that's causing suffering.
We deliberately choose to meditate on these to explore their structure and then start to break free from that blind habit of identification with these habitual thoughts, beliefs and reactions.
All you have to do really is become aware of them. When you become the observer, that process actually frees you from those habits. The habits are reduced to an object that you can observe, but you become the observer instead of becoming lost in the thoughts and the emotional habits.
So that's a very important part of mindfulness training. When you develop a relationship with your mind, with the contents of mind, in which you are not identified and not run by habitual reactivity, then you can help the anxiety depression heal. And that's the second major theme in Mindfulness Therapy.
The emphasis is on helping the mind heal. It's about helping anxiety heal so that you no longer feel anxiety or panic attacks. It's about helping depression heal so that you no longer feel that terrible state of exhaustion or helplessness or feeling like a victim. It is about helping grief heal if you're experiencing grief. And very importantly it's about helping you recover from emotional trauma.
So if you'd like to learn more about this mindfulness-based approach for healing and overcoming habitual emotional reactivity or trauma then please go to my website and e-mail me.
