Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in Buddhist psychotherapy and specifically Mindfulness Therapy, which I offer via Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression and for addictions and for help with many other psychological problems using the very well respected and well tested methods of Mindfulness Therapy.

So if you'd like to talk to a therapist online, I invite you to look at my website and then contact me if you have any questions and if you would like to schedule a therapy session with me.

So I offer therapy via Skype, and it's really important that you use some video platform like Skype or Face Time or Zoom so that you can see each other. If you can see each other, then online therapy or teletherapy becomes just as effective as meeting with a therapist in person.

It's not necessary to be in the same room, but it is necessary that you can see each other because that is required for good communication and good communication is central for good psychotherapy. So as long as you can see each other, then being able to work with an online therapist is a very good option for you to consider.

Many people like the convenience offered by online therapy. It's just a lot easier to schedule your sessions. You don't have to travel to a therapist's office. You don't have to leave home so it is much easier to integrate your therapy sessions within your busy schedule.

Another advantage is for people who can't leave home for one reason or another. For example, if you are suffering from agoraphobia, then seeking help from an online therapist becomes really essential. If you're suffering from a driving anxiety disorder or phobia around driving, then also being able to talk to a therapist online is an excellent option to help you work with your anxiety and depression and also to work with your driving anxiety specifically.

I actually get a lot of requests from people suffering from driving anxiety, and the Mindfulness Therapy approach that I specialize in has proven to be very effective indeed for treating anxiety disorders, including driving anxiety and agoraphobia.

So the more important factor is the quality and the style of psychotherapy offered by an online therapist or other therapist, in person. That's much more important than whether you are seeing a therapist online or in person. You have to find the right fit for your needs.

So it's really important when you're selecting a psychotherapist to work with that you use your own intuition, your instincts. You find someone that you trust, that says things that resonate with you. Make sure that you get all your questions answered from your perspective therapist. Again, it doesn't matter whether it's online or in person, they need to be able to make you feel comfortable and confident that what they are offering is right for you.

So Mindfulness Therapy is a way of working very directly with your emotions. It's about promoting inner healing of the inner process that causes anxiety or depression or other forms of emotional suffering. And the primary thing we are looking for in Mindfulness Therapy is to develop more conscious awareness. That's what mindfulness is. It's her way of seeing things clearly without becoming lost in habitual patterns of reactivity.

So the primary issue is not the emotional pain, the core emotion itself, it's the reactivity to it that causes the emotional suffering and that prevents the core emotion from healing.

So Mindfulness Therapy is about developing a very direct, conscious, mindful relationship with the underlying emotions that are affecting your experience, that are determining the quality of your life, that are affecting your well-being.

So if you'd like to learn more about how to apply mindfulness for healing, do please contact me. And if you like the idea of being able to talk to a therapist online using Skype, then please reach out to me and schedule a Skype therapy session.

This approach is very effective and most, if not all of my clients benefit immensely from learning how to meditate on their emotions to promote healing. And that can be very specific emotions like agoraphobia and driving anxiety and working with emotional trauma.

I also work with intrusive thoughts and intrusive memories. These are also psychological processes based on blind, habitual reactivity that really benefit tremendously from the application of mindfulness meditation and Mindfulness Therapy.

So please contact me if this interests you and schedule a Skype Therapy session. Thank you.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional psychotherapist and I offer online therapy over Skype.

Many people like to talk to a therapist over Skype rather than in-person because it is more comfortable as well as more convenient.

If you are suffering from anxiety, for example, then you will probably find it much more effective to talk to a therapist over Skype than in person because you will be more comfortable and open to incorporating the changes and advice that the psychotherapist offers you.

So, this is one of the main reasons why I have chosen to specialize in online therapy over Skype, because it is more effective for most people, especially if you are suffering from anxiety. But I also offer therapy over Skype for depression, and Skype therapy for addictions as well.

The same kind of principles apply here - People suffering from depression are often uncomfortable talking about their depression to a psychotherapist in-person. So, being able to talk to a therapist over Skype is going to be much, much easier for you.

Also, people suffering from an addiction are often uncomfortable talking about their addiction in a group format. So, having private sessions with an online therapist can be much more effective there as well.

If you would like to learn more about talking to a therapist online over Skype, simply go to my website and learn more about online therapy. When you feel ready, contact me. Simply email me and I will be happy to answer any questions you have about the online psychotherapy process.

If you would like to schedule a Skype therapy session with me, simply email me and we can arrange for a trial Skype therapy session. A trial session is a very good way of assessing if this is the right approach for you. So, please email me and schedule a Skype therapy trial session now and I will be happy to help you overcome anxiety, depression, addictions or any other emotional problems that you may be struggling with.

So, I look forward to hearing from you.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety and depression and also addictions using mindfulness therapy. So if you'd like to talk to a therapist online and you like the Mindfulness Therapy approach then please contact me and we can schedule a Skype Therapy session.

All my therapy sessions are via Skype. It's very important that you use Skype or face time so that you can see each other. If you can see each other then the communication will be much better and is really just as good as meeting a therapist in person, especially if you are interested in an approach like Mindfulness Therapy that's focused on teaching you practical ways of working with your anxiety and depression or other emotional conditions yourself.

This is the focus of Mindfulness Therapy. It Is about empowering you, giving you the tools to work with difficult emotions that need healing, and I will teach you during our online therapy sessions how to use mindfulness to promote healing of anxiety, depression and other forms of emotional suffering.

So the mindfulness approach is really one of building conscious attention around the emotions that are bothering you. It's about turning towards your anxiety or depression rather than trying to run away from them. The avoidance reactions are quite natural and common, but unfortunately if you avoid the emotional pain it cannot heal. So since our mission is to heal anxiety or depression we must generate more conscious awareness around the emotions that are in pain.

We effectively see those emotions as being what they really are, which is mental objects. They are habits that get triggered and appear in the mind when they are triggered as mental objects. We learn to relate to them in that way as mental objects instead of becoming identified with them.

So we do this by meditating on our emotions. We place them as the primary objects of meditation so they become an object of meditation. And this reinforces our freedom from reactive identification with those emotions. If you are able to observe them then that position of being the observer is free from the emotion, is not conditioned by it.

Whether that's anxiety or depression or anything else it's habitual in nature. It becomes established as a conditioned habit. So our first job is to see that habit clearly and restore consciousness to it because habits cannot thrive when they are illuminated by conscious awareness.

The second approach that we cultivate when we meditate on our emotions is the response of compassion. So this is taught in a very specific way in the Mindfulness Therapy system that I have developed over the years. This is a process whereby we develop compassion towards that specific emotion itself as an object.

It's rather like the relationship between a parent and a child. You can think of the emotional object as being like a child. It's conditioned. It has a limited consciousness and it's not very good at healing its own pain. It requires a parent to help in that healing.

One of the primary methods that we employ for healing emotion, besides establishing this relationship as parent and child, which is of course very healing in itself, is by developing awareness of the imagery that is behind the emotion.

So seeing that imagery is very important because once you see it consciously then you can help it change. When the imagery changes the emotion changes and this actually is the primary mechanism through which emotions heal naturally. In our mindfulness work we are simply speed up this natural healing process.

So if you're interested in mindfulness and the mindfulness approach for healing emotional suffering and you'd like to schedule online therapy with me, then please contact me and we can schedule an online therapy session at a time that works for you. I see people throughout the world. All you need is a good internet connection and a quiet place for your sessions and then we can begin. So please contact me. Thank you.

Skype with a psychotherapist online for anxiety and depression

Speak with a Therapist Online via Skype

Would you like to speak with a therapist online over Skype? If so please contact me through my website. I offer online psychotherapy via Skype for help with anxiety and depression and many other common psychological problems that can be managed through the methods of mindfulness therapy.

This is a very exciting and very effective approach for overcoming those patterns of habitual emotional reactivity. We learn how to change the relationship that we have to our emotions. This is the key feature of mindfulness therapy.

So the emotions are what provides the power, if you like, for everything in the mind. In mindfulness psychology we understand that emotions precede thoughts, not the other way around as is taught in CBT for example. If you are feeling afraid or angry you are likely to start generating thoughts based around fear or anger. If there is no emotion preceding those thoughts then those thoughts don't form in the first place. Or if they do they resolve very quickly.

So working with the underlying emotions is key. And what we focus on in mindfulness therapy is forming a conscious relationship that's also based on friendliness and compassion with those painful emotions, like anxiety and depression, or shame or guilt or compulsion, in the case of an addiction. Whatever it might be we have to fundamentally change the relationship that we have with those emotions.

Typically we don't have a good relationship with our emotions. We simply react to them with more suffering and more reactive thoughts that simply feed those emotions and make them more painful, and also prevent them from healing. They cannot heal if you continue to react to them and feed them.

We have to learn how to sit with our emotions without reacting. That is the key first step in mindfulness training, and we do this by actually meditating on our emotions. We don't waste time talking about our emotions. That tends to simply feed the problem.

We instead focus our time on changing our relationship to our emotions so that we can hold them in conscious awareness without becoming identified with them and without reacting to them with cognitive reactivity or further emotional reactivity or even behavioral reactivity. An addiction is an example of behavioral reactivity, that is, if you like, trying to escape emotional pain.

So we need to cultivate this very non-reactive relationship first of all with our emotions. Then the second phase of our training is to learn how to work with those emotions in a way that helps them heal directly. Not by trying to change our belief structure or understanding or exploring the past or reasons why we feel this way. That approach is not usually very effective.

We work directly with the emotions. Typically almost all emotional suffering is based around fear. So we need to learn how to comfort fear. We need to learn how to relate to that fear in a way that will comfort it. We need to become like a friend or parent to those emotions that are in pain because that is what creates the healing. It's the quality of that relationship itself.

And it takes some training but not a lot. Most people already know the wisdom of this approach. It's natural. It's what you would do if you were comforting a friend or a child that was in pain.

You would approach it in this way. You would first of all establish a very safe and non-reactive relationship with them and then you would progress into finding ways to comfort them, which might be as simple as holding them or just being quiet and listening to them.

That quality of relationship is where the healing happens, the reactivity does not heal and even trying to understand your emotions and conceptualize them is technically speaking, just another form of cognitive reactivity. It doesn't usually heal the underlying emotion.

So if you'd like to learn more about this approach, please contact me and schedule a Skype Therapy session so you can see for yourself just how effective this mindfulness therapy approach is especially for anxiety disorders and depression. But I also work with addictions, as well. So contact me if this interests you. Thank you.
