Online Therapy UK
Online Therapy UK & Ireland
This online therapy service is available to residents of the United Kingdom, Great Britain & Ireland. All you need is an internet connection and Skype.
There are many online therapy services available now, but I do recommend that you find a therapist who specializes in your specific needs. Just talking about your feelings is often not sufficient for overcoming an anxiety disorder or depression; and medications don't even address the underlying psychological cause.
I also recommend that you choose a therapist who uses Skype or similar video platform so that you can see each other.
Originally from the UK and now living in Colorado, I offer Online Mindfulness Therapy via Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression, including agoraphobia and OCD.

Skype Therapy - Therapy over Skype for Anxiety & Depression
Everyone that I have worked with really benefits from the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…
“Dr. Strong helped me through the most difficult time of my life. I wasn’t able to leave the house for over five months due to crippling anxiety. Dr. Strong was able to help me welcome my anxiety and take care of it in order to heal it. I had always thought anxiety was something to push away and fear, but through meditation and welcoming my anxiety, I learned I can truly enjoy experiences that would otherwise trigger anxiety. Everything else I have tried has not come close to the healing and happiness I have experienced through Dr. Strong’s sessions. He is very kind and honest and I couldn’t have healed my anxiety without him. Every day is different, but even after ending our sessions, his counseling has proved invaluable. Thank you Dr. Strong!”

Skype Therapy - Skype Counseling Therapy Service
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist and I offer Skype Therapy. Skype counseling and therapy is a very effective way of working with difficult emotions without using medications but rather learning ways of working with your emotions using mindfulness therapy, which is what I teach online through Skype.
Medications may have some value in some cases but it's important to realize that they only treat symptoms, they do not change the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression. That the underlying cause is basically psychological in nature for most people most of the time. It is a habit. It is a form of reactive thinking and emotional reactivity and behavioral reactivity that all feeds particular emotional formation of anxiety or depression or OCD or addiction. These are habits. Habits can be changed and when you learn the mindfulness techniques that I teach, you will be able to change your anxiety and depression, you'll be able to break free from these habits.
The first thing to understand is that all habits operate essentially unconsciously out of awareness on autopilot. This is the biggest problem that we have to overcome straight away. We have to develop a much more conscious awareness around our emotional reactivity. We have to bring consciousness to our anxiety or depression instead of running away from it or trying to find a distraction from it or through medications, which is really just another form of avoidance.
So bringing conscious awareness to our habits is the first step in changing those habits. And that we do in mindfulness therapy by actually meditating on our emotions and on our intrusive thoughts and on our emotional trauma, whatever it might be. We learn to meditate on the mind, on these emotional habits. This means that we deliberately choose to bring the painful emotion or the intrusive thoughts into the mind, but consciously under our direction, rather than have them just show up unconsciously due to the habitual reactivity. So this is the difference. Bringing them in consciously puts us in a place of power in relationship to those emotional habits.
Then we can begin to cultivate this conscious relationship and in so doing we gain more and more freedom. We can essentially sit with the anxiety or depression and not be controlled by it. So this is a training process. We are choosing to train with our emotions so that we gain more and more freedom. Even if they are there. Even if anxiety or depression is still triggered we are no longer controlled by our emotions. That's the first goal of mindfulness therapy and mindfulness meditation: to gain freedom.
The mindfulness therapy approach that I teach by Skype is immensely effective and you should and you can expect to see significant changes after the first two or three sessions once you start applying the techniques that I will teach you in the first couple of sessions. So it's a very fast way of achieving quite substantial results. So that's another thing that I like. It's not like classical talk therapy. That tends to be very long winded and doesn't really give you tools for resolving your emotional suffering. In Skype Therapy move very fast. We train in a very focused way using mindfulness based methods.
So if this interests you please contact me by e-mail and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Let's schedule a trial Skype Therapy session so you can see for yourself whether this approach is right for you. It certainly is for the vast majority of people who are struggling with anxiety or depression or addictions. So please contact me if you'd like to schedule's Skype therapy. Thank you.

Skype Therapy -The Benefits
Traditional counseling can be helpful, but often common talk therapy does not transform the habitual psychological process that is the real cause of your anxiety and depression.
The same can be said for medications - the prescription medications may reduce symptoms for a while, but medications are not going to transform the underlying psychological process that causes the anxiety or depression.
The school of psychotherapy that I provide is called Mindfulness Therapy, which can be extremely effective for controlling chronic anxiety and for treating depression and other psychological issues resulting from conditioned negative thinking. Most people notice quite significant changes after 3-4 sessions of Mindfulness Therapy.
Skype therapy is a very convenient option if you are living abroad or if you are living in an area where it is difficult to find a psychotherapist to work with, if its a rural area or if you are living in a foreign country. It may be difficult to find a local therapist.
Also, a lot of people are looking for alternative to the traditional medical approach to psychotherapy. A lot of people are looking for newer styles of psychotherapy such as CBT or Mindfulness Therapy, which is what I offer online. It's about really learning how to take charge of your own emotional well-being, by learning practical, effective skills and methods for overcoming tour anxiety or depression or other emotional suffering that is affecting the quality of your life or relationships.
The mindfulness techniques that I teach and offer online in these counseling sessions is particularly effective for overcoming anxiety.
When I talk to people in this position, it becomes immediately clear that even though they have done all this work on their anxiety or panic attacks, they have never actually looked at the mechanism that produces that anxiety - the underlying emotional reactivity and how that works.
It is really important to actually look and see how the anxiety works, and this is one of the characteristics of Mindfulness Therapy. Rather than talking about your anxiety or your family history or trying to uncover repressed memories or other potential trigger points for your anxiety.
We really examine the mechanism of how it operates right now, because that is what you can change. You can change the actual structure of the emotional reaction itself through mindfulness. This often involves looking at the imagery of the emotion. This is quite an interesting area for most people.
All emotions are based around psychological imagery that forms in the mind. That imagery essentially is an organizing principle that holds that emotional energy together and creates an emotion like anxiety or depression or anger. They will all have different imagery.
During Mindfulness Therapy we take great interest in uncovering this imagery. We look at it by focusing on the emotions themselves, directly, to see what is there. So, this very direct approach is a characteristic of mindfulness, and Mindfulness Therapy as I teach it and have developed over many years now, really focuses on helping you change the imagery of the emotion, because when you change that, you change the emotion quite significantly. The imagery is an absolute requirement for an emotion. If you change the imagery you change the emotion. So, that is one aspect of Mindfulness Therapy.

Skype Therapy - Speak with an online therapist
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I am a mindfulness-based psychotherapist, living in Boulder, Colorado, and I provide Skype Therapy for the treatment of anxiety and for help with recovery from chronic depression and also for help with addiction recovery.
If you would like to talk to a psychologist online who specializes in mindfulness therapy then please simply go to my website and send me an email and ask any questions you have about mindfulness therapy and this approach and how it can help you with your specific needs.
Generally, online therapy is very effective indeed, especially for anxiety and non-clinical depression. It is a much better alternative than years of talk therapy or other treatment-based options because Mindfulness Therapy teaches you specifically how to change your emotional reactions.
All emotional reactions are basically habits and all habits can be changed when you bring more consciousness to them. So, when you apply mindfulness to an emotional habit like anxiety or depression it changes, and it makes it much more effective in what you do in trying to help that anxiety or depression resolve and heal.
Basically, the most important thing is to build a mindfulness-based relationship with your emotions, based on consciousness and compassion. These two qualities are what really characterize mindfulness; it's much more than just awareness. Most people are already aware of their emotional suffering, but they are not necessarily conscious of the emotional habit, the underlying process that creates their anxiety or depression.
This consists of habitual reactive thinking and habitual reactive behaviors and also habitual reactive imagery. One of the hallmarks of Mindfulness Therapy is examining the imagery of your emotions, what makes them work. And, of course, when you uncover that emotional imagery you have something very definite to work with, and when you change emotional imagery, you change the emotion.
If you would like to learn more about Mindfulness Therapy and you would like to talk to a psychologist online who specializes in Buddhist psychology and the mindfulness approach, then please go to my website and then send me an email and we can schedule a Skype therapy session at a time that works for you.
It doesn't matter where you live, as long as you have an internet connection, we can arrange a Skype therapy session. So, please contact me. Thank you.

Online Therapy with Skype - Help for Anxiety & Depression
Learn How to Overcome Anxiety & Depression
I will be happy to answer your questions about seeing an online therapist via Skype, and when you feel ready, you can schedule a therapy session over Skype with me.
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional Skype therapist. I specialize in Online Mindfulness Psychotherapy for the treatment of anxiety, depression and addictions and this service is available via Skype.
Now, online Skype therapy is becoming highly popular for many reasons. Increased convenience is certainly one of those reasons, but another reason is, of course, because of the condition itself - anxiety. People experiencing anxiety often find it very difficult to go to a therapist in his or her office, in-person. So the online Skype therapist option is a very attractive alternative for the treatment of anxiety and also for other anxiety disorders such as agoraphobia and social phobia. If you suffer from agoraphobia then Skype therapy sessions will be the best way to get help.
Whatever the style of psychotherapy that you like, you need to transform the underlying structure of the anxiety or depression itself, which is exactly what I focus on during the online Skype therapy sessions.
Conventional Talk Therapy can be helpful, but often it does not look at the underlying structure, the underlying process that creates your depression or anxiety.
The same can be said for medications - the drug may provide a temporary relief from symptoms for awhile, but medications are not going to change the underlying psychological process that causes your anxiety or depression.
So, it is recommended that you find what we might call a process-centered therapy that focuses on changing the underlying process that creates the anxiety or depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is an example of a process-oriented therapy. Mindfulness Therapy, which is a form of psychotherapy that I developed in the 1980's incorporates CBT methods with the addition of mindfulness, and this is another extremely popular process-oriented therapy and it works extremely well for anxiety and emotional suffering produced by uncontrolled reactive thinking.
