Skype Therapy - Counseling via Skype for Anxiety & Depression

Everyone that I have worked with really likes the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…

"Before my sessions with Dr Peter Strong, I suffered from depression. No matter what I tried, I got nowhere. It was like running around in a circle, I felt trapped.

In the first session, I found out my main problem; resisting and avoiding emotions. A few sessions later, I clearly noticed the difference in me. By mindfully accepting negative feelings, they are released and eventually replaced by positive ones.

I am a happier person now and have achieved much more in life. Enjoying life to the fullest!

Thank you Peter…"

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online psychotherapist. I've been offering psychotherapy through Skype for over ten years now. And I do this because most people really enjoy Skype Therapy. They find this to be a much better experience than going to see a therapist in their office. It Is much less intimidating. It's much more convenient for you and also more comfortable for you since you can conduct your therapy sessions from your own home or familiar surroundings that you feel comfortable in. And that's really important. 

So good psychotherapy, whether it's in person or online, needs to enable you. It needs to teach you strategies and ways of working with the mind. It needs to teach you how to work with difficult emotions, whether that's anxiety or depression or OCD or an addiction or grief or other difficult emotional problems, using methods that you can apply yourself. This is the important thing: that you learn how to work with your emotions yourself and good psychotherapy will teach you how to do this. 

You do not need to see a therapist in person to receive good psychotherapy. You simply need to have access to someone who understands how to teach practical ways of working with the mind. So as long as you can see each other, then online therapy is, in my opinion, just as good as meeting in person, and may also be actually better because you, as the client, feel more comfortable and at ease with the process. 

The style of therapy that I teach over Skype is called Mindfulness Therapy. And that works very well for anxiety and depression, particularly, and it will teach you those practical skills that I've been talking about that you can apply yourself between sessions to really change the way that you feel, to overcome anxiety and depression and to get back to a state of wellbeing and emotional resilience and the ability to meet life without emotional suffering. 

Emotional suffering is not the natural state of things. It's a product of habitual learned conditioned reactivity to life. Life may produce lots of ups and downs. pain and pleasure and so on, but that is not the same thing as emotional suffering. So emotional pain is something that we encounter and usually resolves quite quickly. Emotional suffering does not resolve quickly it persists and it persists through a process of habitual reactivity. It's a habit. That habit is what causes it to persist.  

We learn how to break these habits by actually meditating on the emotions directly. So emotional habits thrive because of unawareness. We simply are not aware of the reactive process that's going on in the mind. The stimulus simply activates the habits that creates the emotional suffering. 

But once we start to bring more conscious awareness to our emotional habits we can begin to change those habits. Consciousness allows us to break free from our habits. That's the first part of Mindfulness training, is learning to bring more consciousness to our emotional suffering so we can break these emotional habits. And we do that as I say by actively meditating on the emotions. 

That is the way to do it. Not trying to escape our emotional pain or just talking about them endlessly or indulging in the emotional suffering. That's another habit and it doesn't resolve the suffering. We need to change our relationship, we need to break this habit of reactive identification so that we don't fall victim to the emotional habits. 

So that's a very important part of mindfulness training. The other part that I'll explain to you and teach you during our sessions, is how to facilitate the healing of emotional suffering. So this is the compassionate aspect of mindfulness that's so important. And the combination of developing more consciousness and developing more compassion towards your own inner emotional suffering is what really produces the changes, and changes that last. 

So if you'd like to learn more about this approach than simply email me and we can schedule a session and you'll see, even after the first session, just how powerful the mindfulness therapy approach can be for overcoming anxiety, depression and other forms of emotional suffering. So please reach out to me by email and let's schedule a session. Thank you.

Skype Therapy -The Benefits of Online Therapy

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 -  prescription medications may reduce symptoms for a while, but medications are not going to transform the underlying psychological process that causes your 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 - Counseling via Skype

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online psychotherapist and I provide psychotherapy via Skype. So if you're looking for Skype psychotherapy online, I do encourage you to read more of the pages on my website. Watch some of the videos about Skype Therapy and reach out to me if you have any questions or if you would like to schedule Skype Therapy with me.

Skype Therapy is an excellent opportunity to get quality help to overcome anxiety and depression, but without having to go to see a therapist and in an office. Many people really prefer the convenience of online therapy and also the greater privacy and anonymity that is offered by online therapy. This is very important if you're dealing with difficult emotional problems like depression or addiction. 

If you are suffering from agoraphobia, then it becomes essential to look for an online therapist to help you overcome your agoraphobia. I see a surprising number of people with driving anxiety with a phobia of driving, which of course greatly limits them and makes it very difficult to to go and see a therapist for treatment for driving anxiety. 

There are lots of reasons why people like online therapy, but perhaps the most important thing is that it feels more comfortable for you. It's really important that you feel comfortable and are able to do the detailed and very personal work needed to bring about the healing of your anxiety or depression or other emotional problems. 

So that's really the focus of Mindfulness Therapy, which is what I teach on Skype. Mindfulness Therapy teaches you how to totally change the relationship that you have with your emotions, to really change the relationship from one that is reactive and simply feeds the anxiety or depression, to a relationship that's based on consciousness and compassion, the two primary elements of mindfulness. 

So when you can change that internal psychological relationship to one that allows you to be present with your anxiety or depression or other emotions and not react to them, then you create the ideal conditions for healing.

It is trying to heal but what stops it healing is reactivity, blind habitual reactivity. The way that we get lost and reactive thinking, the way that we get completely identified and therefore overwhelmed by the emotion. So that's what we call reactive identification. 

So whatever the identification is, whatever the reactivity is, it ends up feeding that emotion and stops it healing. But if you take away the reactivity, the emotion will resume its natural path of healing. 

Another analogy to think of here is to look at the emotional suffering as being like a wound. Again, a wound naturally heals itself if it is allowed to do so. Those mechanisms of healing are a natural part of the body.

It is the same for the mind. Emotional wounds will heal if we stop reacting to them. We look at them like an emotional wound. That wound is already destined to heal itself once we stop reacting. 

So the key principle behind Mindfulness Therapy is to learn how to stay present and develop this conscious, compassionate presence that is not reactive, that does not feed the anxiety or depression. The more you cultivate that, the faster the healing. 

Then you can start to develop internal compassion on top of that and start to interact with your emotions in a way that helps them heal. You learn how to comfort your inner fear, your inner hurt. That will accelerate healing even more. So that's the response of compassion, which is very much a part of Mindfulness Therapy. 

We learn how to respond compassionately to our own emotional wounds. 

So if you'd like to learn more about this approach to psychotherapy using mindfulness and you like the convenience of Skype Therapy, then do please contact me and schedule a Skype Therapy session. 

So Skype Therapy is very effective. You don't need to be in the same room as a therapist. You do need to see each other. And of course, that is what Skype allows. It allows you to see each other. And that makes it as effective as being in the same room as the therapist. 

So if you would like to learn more and you'd like to schedule some Skype Therapy sessions with me, or if you have questions you would like to ask, please go to my contact page and email me. Thank you.
