Everyone that I have worked with really likes the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…
"I would recommend him unconditionally. The process can be painful, but the pain resolves fairly rapidly and morphs into a sense of freedom, centeredness and wholeness."
During these online counseling sessions I will teach you how to apply mindfulness for facilitating recovery from all forms of anxiety, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, persistent depression, and for help with and other forms of emotional suffering, by using the very practical techniques of Mindfulness Meditation Therapy.
This approach is remarkably effective and you will notice significant recovery after 3-4 Skype sessions with me.
Online Mindfulness-based Skype Psychotherapy is very effective for controlling anxiety and depression without the need for medications. It is better to treat the underlying psychological cause of your emotional suffering rather than just treating symptoms.
Mindfulness Therapy for Driving Anxiety & Phobia
A very popular request is for help overcoming a fear of driving. Driving phobias are quite common and are usually resistant to standard "talk therapy." I have developed an approach called Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy, where I will work with you via Skype, while in your car. People really respond well to this and most see dramatic improvements after the first few sessions.

Online Therapist for Anxiety Disorders via Skype
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional mindfulness-based psychotherapist, and I offer online therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders.
It's very convenient for you to work with an online therapist to get the treatment that you need to help you overcome your anxiety disorder. Many people with anxiety disorders really don't like going to see a therapist in person. They find it rather intimidating.
And also many people don't like taking medications. Anti-anxiety medications like Xanax may provide some temporary relief from symptoms but medications do nothing at all to correct the underlying psychological process that causes your anxiety.
So there are many different types of anxiety disorder that we can treat using Mindfulness Therapy. The most common type is called Generalized Anxiety Disorder, which really describes a condition of habitual reactive thinking and rumination, catastrophizing, excessive worrying. It's often described as being lost in negative thoughts.
Another type of anxiety disorder that I work with quite a lot is Social Anxiety Disorder, and also it's more severe form as agoraphobia. Social Anxiety Disorder is characterized by excessive fear of what people might be thinking about you. It's difficulty and hyper self-consciousness in social situations. It also describes difficulty in going into crowded areas and so on.
Agoraphobia, of course, describes a condition where a person is really really scared of leaving what we might call a secure area, like home. It's very difficult to go beyond certain comfort boundaries. And that's usually characterized by severe panic attacks.
So Panic disorder is another kind of anxiety disorder that I work with. This describes a very severe emotional contraction, a very intense form of anxiety that is often triggered by specific events or thoughts or situations.
Another type of anxiety disorder is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. And that is characterized, yet again, by habitual reactive thoughts or intrusive thoughts that have a very high emotional charge. And because of the high emotional charge, they keep repeating themselves and it's very difficult to let go of those kind of intrusive thoughts.
So whatever kind of anxiety disorder you have, Mindfulness Therapy is one of the best approaches available for working with these habitual reactive thoughts.
During our sessions I will teach you how to apply mindfulness to work with your particular anxiety disorder, which means learning how to work with these thoughts.
Now thoughts do not create anxiety. That is a common misconception, but they do fuel anxiety that is preexisting. So anxiety creates reactive thoughts, where the reactive thoughts then feed the anxiety and so you get this positive feedback loop that maintains that anxiety and prevents it from resolving and healing.
During Mindfulness Therapy we learn how to change the way we react to the anxiety. We change the way we relate to the anxiety thoughts. We learn to hold them in our conscious awareness without becoming identified with thoughts, without becoming lost in the stream of reactive thinking that feeds the anxiety. And this is one of the most important first parts of the training that I will teach you: how to sit with your thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them.
And the second part of Mindfulness Therapy is learning how to resolve the underlying anxiety itself. The anxiety is what feeds those thoughts and gives them that emotional charge that causes them to persist and proliferate. And this we do by a variety of methods. But mostly we can describe this as establishing a non-reactive and compassionate relationship with that underlying anxiety. This is what promotes resolution of the anxiety. And once you heal the underlying emotion then the reactive thinking subsides quite naturally.

All therapy sessions are offered by Skype and we can schedule a Skype Therapy Service session to help you work with your anxiety to free yourself from the crippling effects of anxiety disorders without the use of medications or years of analytical type psychotherapy.

Online Therapy for Anxiety via Skype
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist offering online therapy for anxiety and depression and other common emotional problems that respond well to online mindfulness therapy, which is what I specialize in and find to be most effective for helping you overcome anxiety and depression and other common emotional suffering.
So if you're looking for an online therapist to help you overcome anxiety and to provide relief from chronic anxiety then I invite you to go to my website and learn more about the mindfulness-based approach for overcoming anxiety. It's very effective. Most people see quite dramatic changes within the first three or four sessions, once you start applying the mindfulness-based methods that I will be teaching you during these Skype therapy sessions.
So the very first thing that we have to understand is that anxiety is best seen as a habit process rather than a disorder. It's better to look at the underlying psychological habit that is causing your anxiety rather than just treating it with medications, because just covering up the symptoms is not going to change anything at the psychological level. So if you want real relief from anxiety you have to work on changing that underlying habitual process that is creating your anxiety.
So most people notice that when they start to examine the structure of their anxiety and this underlying habitual process that they begin to see changes very quickly. The very first thing we need to do is change our relationship to our emotions. We must change our relationship from one of fear and hatred and reactivity to one of consciousness and even friendliness.
It is really important, actually, to develop a friendly and compassionate relationship with your emotions if you want them to heal. If you want to get real relief from anxiety then you must make friends with that anxiety.
Acceptance is really important, but not just blind acceptance, not just tolerating your emotions, but rather helping them heal. So the function of mindfulness therapy is seeing your emotions clearly, establishing a compassionate relationship with your emotions, and then helping them heal.
And one of the most important ways that we can help heal anxiety is by developing a non-reactive relationship with that anxiety. When you can sit with your anxiety, observe it without reactivity, then that will allow the anxiety to begin to change itself. The problem is that we tend to react to our anxiety and this reactivity has the effect of feeding the anxiety. The best analogy here is to think of the anxiety as being like a fire and the reactivity is the fuel that feeds that fire.
So when you become lost in reactive thinking and rumination and other forms of reactivity towards your anxiety, it simply feeds the fire. But once you stop reacting to it then you provide a healing environment. It's taking the fuel away from the fire. And when you do that the anxiety will begin to heal itself in that space that you've provided for it.
So mindfulness is about embracing our emotions and giving them a space in which to heal. And it's quite surprising to some people, but the fact is that they will heal your anxiety will heal itself if you allow it to heal. That means with without becoming reactive towards it.
So anxiety is a habit and the anxiety that is causing you problems is not healing because you're not building a compassionate, friendly and conscious relationship with it. That is what I find, over and over again, is the real issue.
So if you would like help in learning how to change your relationship with your anxiety or other emotions and help promote this natural inner healing process, then please do contact me and we can schedule an online therapy session.
So mindfulness therapy is one of the very best ways of promoting healing of emotions. It has some elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy in it, but it's much more focused on healing the emotions directly through changing our relationship to them. When the emotions heal then the reactive thinking heals also, and that begins to subside. So this I find to be a better way of approaching anxiety. Work on healing the emotion directly rather than just focusing on trying to change your thought patterns.
So please contact me and let's schedule a therapy session so you can learn how to overcome your anxiety and get relief from anxiety. Thank you.

How to overcome Anxiety Attacks without medication
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional mindfulness therapist and I offer online therapy over Skype.
So how can we overcome anxiety attacks without medication?
The problem of an anxiety disorder is that it's not short-lived like "normal anxiety", it persists, it is recurrent. It keeps affecting the quality of our life on a daily basis, it keeps coming back. That is not a normal state of anxiety. It's basically become a self-sustaining habit that recreates itself over and over again when certain triggers are present. For example driving anxiety. So chronic driving anxiety or phobia is quite different than the normal kind of anxiety we might experience when traffic is very heavy or when weather conditions change on the road. So driving anxiety disorder is one in which we are propelled into panic attacks and to extreme fear reactions by really quite normal triggers.
So in that case we need to find a way of changing the underlying habit that causes that anxiety. This we can do through mindfulness therapy and other forms of psychotherapy that address the underlying habits that is causing the anxiety.
Medications may have a place in some situations, but it's really important to understand that medications are not going to change that psychological habit. All medications do is relieve the symptoms for a while.
So, if you have persistent anxiety, an anxiety disorder, such as a phobia or such as OCD or a panic disorder or agoraphobia or any other form of extreme anxiety, then you need to look at the underlying psychological habits.
We can change that by becoming more conscious of how the habit works. The typical response that we have, usually, to any kind of unpleasant experience such as anxiety is that we run away from it. We try to avoid it. We try to avoid the triggers that produce that anxiety. But this really starts to strengthen that anxiety habit.
It means that we become more and more under the control of habit and that simply strengthens the habit. So, in Mindfulness Therapy we recognize this as a primary problem: avoidance and also aversion to unpleasant emotional reactions. That's really what feeds the habit.
Instead, we learn to sit with our anxiety in much the same way as we might sit with a friend who is in pain. You learn not to become as upset as our friend, but rather to become a safe and supportive person that is able to provide a space around that anxiety that's what helps the person overcome their anxiety if we can provide that protective space.
Is very much the same with our emotions. We learn to become friends to our emotions by creating a protective space around them so that the emotions don't ignite further reactivity in the form of reactive thinking and react to behaviors that feed that anxiety.
When you can sit with your anxiety in this way not reacting to it then you're creating the ideal conditions in which that anxiety will begin to change itself and begin to heal. And when you're not reacting then you can actually participate in is healing, you can help it heal itself. So we call this building the alliance between your True Self and Little Self. The Little Self is the anxiety and other emotional habits that operate blindly out of consciousness like any habit to feed that anxiety.
The True Self is that part of you that can observe the anxiety without reacting. It's what can be present with the anxiety without becoming anxious. So once you get that dynamic between your True Self, the observer mind and the Little Self, the reactive mind, then you can begin to change those habits.
I will teach you how to do this during these online therapy sessions that I offer. So if you'd like to learn how to avoid and overcome anxiety attacks without medication, do please go to my website and then email me to schedule an online therapy session. This approach of using mindfulness is very effective indeed, and most people see significant changes after the first two or three sessions.
