Talk with an Online Psychotherapist via Skype for Anxiety and Depression

Please go to my website if you would like to learn more about online therapy. If you'd like to speak to a therapist online via Skype, then you'll learn on my website exactly what I provide during these online therapy sessions to help you overcome your anxiety or depression or addiction or any other emotional problem that might benefit from Mindfulness Therapy. 

So I specialize in mindfulness therapy. This is a style of psychotherapy that I have been teaching for well over ten years now and that I find to be extremely effective for producing healing for anxiety and depression and also for other common emotional problems like driving anxiety, OCD, and also I've had a lot of success with working with people suffering from PTSD and emotional trauma. 

The basic concept behind Mindfulness Therapy is not so much just talking about your emotional problems but rather looking in detail at the structure of your emotions and also the relationship that you have with your emotions. These are the two major areas we work on during mindfulness therapy sessions. 

We look at the structure and the structure of your anxiety or depression or other form of emotional suffering is very much maintained by a network of habitual reactive thoughts and beliefs as well. These are habitual, they tend to just operate automatically without our choice. They simply feed the anxiety or depression underneath. So examining that network of reactive thinking is quite essential. And with mindfulness we begin to quite quickly break free from the habitual unconscious aspects of this structure of habitual reactive thinking. 

Once you see those thoughts very clearly you can begin to exercise choice and decide not to pursue those reactive thoughts and not to identify with. 

You can also learn how to work with the underlying emotion that is feeding those reactive thoughts, the underlying anxiety and depression itself. So this is where we build a relationship with our emotions based on mindfulness, and that means based on compassion. We learn to see those emotions as being objects that are in pain themselves. Strictly speaking from a mindfulness or Buddhist perspective, it's not you that is suffering it is the emotions themselves. You see these as objects in the mind that are like small fires that ignite and create suffering. 

Our job is to change our relationship to these objects so that we can help them heal rather than simply proliferate the suffering through reactive thinking. 

So we develop a compassionate relationship with any part of ourselves that is in pain, any emotion that is in a state of suffering. You learn to treat it with kindness, with friendliness and compassion. These are tremendously powerful healing forces. Trying to get rid of painful emotions is a very weak approach that is generally if not always totally ineffective. You have to develop a conscious friendly relationship with your emotions. That is what creates the right conditions for healing. 

It takes some training to do this effectively but it's not that difficult. And most people see quite dramatic changes even within the first two to three sessions once they start changing the way they relate to their emotions. Once you start relating to your emotions with mindfulness they will start to change quite rapidly. 

We can help that change process. When the emotions are operating habitually in an unconscious state of conditioned reactivity they can change. They can only repeat themselves over and over again. But once you break that unconscious habitual aspect by bringing mindful consciousness to them then they are able to change and heal quite quickly. 

So I will train you in how to do this if you choose to work with me. And like I say you should expect to see quite significant changes within the first few sessions. If you would like to get started with me and you'd like to see for yourself how effective mindfulness therapy can be for overcoming and healing emotional suffering, then simply email me and let's schedule a session. 

Please contact me if you'd like to get started with mindfulness therapy sessions with me. Thank you.

Everyone that I have seen over the years really benefits from the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…

"I came to Peter desperate, my last hope. I had tried other therapies that failed me: Peter’s approach is just what I needed. Instead of fighting the anxiety and trying to push it away or cover it up, you become conscious of it and give it the space that it needs. Eventually it dissipates. It sounds counter-intuitive, but it is the key… and it works! I am real proof. I am now happier and more content than I have ever been in my life."

Talk to a Psychotherapist online over Skype for help overcoming anxiety & depression

If you're struggling with anxiety or depression or addiction or any other common emotional problem then you might want to speak to a therapist online and if you speak to a therapist over Skype you're going to get that added advantage of being able to see each other. And if you can see each other in real time then generally there's no difference between online therapy when compared to seeing a therapist in person. If you can see each other then the quality of communication is just as good in the vast majority of cases. 

Really what you want to learn is how to manage your anxiety and depression. You want to learn practical skills for doing this. Good psychotherapy is much more than just talking about your problems and it's also much more than forming some kind of relationship with a therapist. That is actually not the best approach. In many cases because it tends to make you dependent on that person. What we really are interested in with good psychotherapy is to make you independent of the therapist, is to give you those tools that enable you to manage your emotional well-being yourself, without the need for a therapist, and that's exactly what I teach cheering my online therapy sessions during mindfulness therapy. 

So Mindfulness Therapy is a very practical approach. It's a style of psychotherapy that really focuses on teaching you how to fundamentally change the relationship that you have with your emotions and with your thoughts and with memories and with trauma and any other content of mind. And it teaches you how to promote healing of that content when there is suffering involved. 

So mindfulness therapy is very focused on healing through developing a very conscious and compassionate relationship with the contents of your mind, especially with the emotions themselves. 

In the first part of mindfulness therapy we work on changing thought patterns. We start to break out of that habit of reactive thinking that feeds anxiety or depression. 

We understand, of course, that thoughts do not create anxiety or depression, but they do feed it in the same way that fuel feeds a fire. Wood or coal does not cause fire but it feeds a fire if the fire is already there. So learning to manage reactive thinking is a very important part of good psychotherapy. 

But we have to go a lot further than that. We have to heal the underlying emotion itself. We have to heal the anxiety or depression or guilt or shame or obsession, whatever it might be that is fueling the reactive thinking. And that's essential for complete recovery. 

Working with thoughts alone is not sufficient. Working with emotions alone is often not sufficient. But when you work at both levels then you get really good results and that's what we will be doing during online therapy sessions using mindfulness therapy. 

If you would like to learn more about the mindfulness therapy approach, then simply email me. Ask any questions you may have about mindfulness therapy and online therapy and if this is the right approach for you. It is for the vast majority of cases. So if you'd like to get started with online therapy and you like the idea of speaking to a mindfulness-based therapist online via Skype, then please contact me and let's get started. 

Talk to a Psychotherapist Online - Therapy via Skype for help with anxiety & depression

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional online mindfulness therapist. I specially in Mindfulness Therapy because I find that to be the most effective way of working with anxiety, depression, and also addictions.

If you would like to speak to a therapist online, please go to my website, the link is below, and email me and then I can answer your questions and explain to you in more detail how online therapy works.

The first session is called a Trial Session, which means there is no upfront payment and in fact payment is made on your satisfaction, on your total satisfaction with the outcome of that session. So, this a way for you to get a sense of how online therapy works, how I work as an online therapist, and to see if this is the right approach for you and if you wish to continue online therapy with me.

So, what do we do during these online therapy sessions? Well, what I focus on is teaching you how to overcome those underlying patterns of reactive thinking and emotional reactivity that cause your anxiety or depression.

This really quite different than conventional talk therapy, which is more about having an avenue to release your emotional stress to someone who is sympathetic and willing to listen and encouraging you to express yourself. That is, of course, very important; and important part of good psychotherapy. But, in my experience, talk therapy is not enough. We have to look at changing that underlying process. We have to learn how to break free from the habitual patterns of negative reactive thinking.

And, this is where mindfulness is so effective, because it is a very powerful awareness skill that allows you to explore that underlying structure of your emotions. It allows you to see those patterns and it allows you to change those patterns.

More than this, Mindfulness Therapy also allows you to explore how emotional reactions work, themselves. Now, emotions are really quite different than thoughts, their primary language is not words but it is imagery. Imagery is the natural language of emotions. When we say, for example, "I feel overwhelmed,'" that give us a clue to the internal imagery of the emotion. We literally see the emotion above us, at a higher position, weighing down on us. We feel OVER-whelmed by the emotion. That is a part of the imagery that makes the emotion work.

So, when we explore this imagery with Mindfulness Therapy, we see all the details of how that emotional imagery works and we can change that emotional imagery through mindfulness. We can explore making all kinds of modifications in that internal imagery that allows the emotions to neutralize itself, to discharge itself, to change. We teach the emotion how to change itself, essentially.

Emotional imagery, just like reactive thinking is primarily habit, and habit thrives on not being seen. Mindfulness is all about exploring in great detail what is actually happening; it's about exploring that structure. It is about learning how to become a scientist, basically, exploring how things work in your mind.

So, this is one reason why Mindfulness Therapy is so powerful. Another reason why Mindfulness Therapy works is because it teaches you how to change your whole relationship to your thoughts and emotions. It teaches you how to observe your emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them, without becoming identified with them, without becoming reactive.

So, if you would like to speak to a therapist online, do please go to my website and email me and I will explain this in more detail, and then we can schedule a trial session.

Can I talk to a Psychotherapist Online for help with anxiety and depression?

People really like the convenience of online therapy and my clients like an approach that focuses on teaching practical mindfulness methods that you can apply by yourself...

If you would like to talk with a therapist online I invite you to go to my website and learn more about online psychotherapy via Skype. 

I find it very effective and most of my clients really enjoy the online therapy option. It's much easier and more convenient to talk to a therapist online and get help for your anxiety or depression or other emotional problems than it is to go to a therapist's office. 

It's also much less intimidating for most people. Most people find therapy via Skype to be considerably more comfortable. And this is really quite important because the success of your therapy sessions really largely depends on how comfortable you feel and how quickly you learn what is being taught. 

So during these online therapy sessions I try to really focus on teaching you practical skills and tools that you can apply yourself to help you overcome anxiety and depression, and also for working with addictions. Most of my clients suffer from anxiety so I really specialize in teaching mindfulness based methods for working with anxiety. 

During the therapy sessions I will teach you how to apply mindfulness to overcome your anxiety or other emotional difficulties that you may be experiencing. The mindfulness based approach is very effective indeed and quite easy to learn and generally you can expect to see quite significant changes after the first few sessions. 

Even after the very first session you can expect to see quite dramatic changes and you will get the kind of tools that you can use between sessions to help improve your skills for managing your anxiety. And that's my goal is to give you the tools for working with your anxiety not to become reliant on a therapist and certainly not become reliant on medications. 

Medications to not treat the underlying cause of anxiety. At best they may provide a temporary reduction in the symptoms of anxiety, but they don't treat the underlying cause, so medication is not a long term solution. The only effective long term solution is to learn how to work with your mind, with the thoughts and beliefs, memories and habitual emotional reactivity that feeds your anxiety or depression or addiction. 

So if you'd like to learn more and you'd like to talk with a therapist online via Skype, simply go to my website and please email me if you have any questions and I'll be happy to schedule a trial Skype Therapy session with you, where we can explore some of these principles and I can get you started right away in learning how to apply mindfulness for overcoming your anxiety or depression. Thank you.

Learn How to Overcome Anxiety & Panic Attacks and depression

Learn how to better manage anxiety or depression. Speak to a Therapist Online over Skype for highly effective online mindfulness therapy for Anxiety and Depression, Social Anxiety Disorder and Agoraphobia, Addictions, Post-traumatic stress or any psychological problems not requiring medical treatment. Email me to learn more about this online therapy service and to arrange for a Skype session with me.

The most important key to overcoming anxiety and panic attacks is to break the habit of reactive identification with emotions and thoughts when they get triggered. Mindfulness training is the best approach for doing this.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional online therapist specializing in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression without the use of medications. This is a non-medical approach and it's based on the teachings of mindfulness therapy. 

This is a system that I developed many years ago and I've been offering online for many years and proves to be very effective indeed for working with anxiety and panic attacks and depression and many other common emotional problems that benefit from mindfulness training. 

If you'd like to talk to a therapist online to learn how to manage your anxiety and panic attacks better, then please go to my website and email me to schedule a session. You will be quite surprised at how quickly you can overcome anxiety and also panic attacks once you start applying mindfulness. It's a really remarkable set of tools that helps you prevent that problem that we call Reactive Identification, which is really at the center of anxiety reactivity for most people. 

The problem is that we become identified with our anxiety, we collapse into our anxiety, we become captured by our anxiety, we become prisoners of our anxiety, and this process is called Reactive Identification, and it's basically simply a habit. Now with mindfulness training you will learn how to stop this habit so that you can essentially become an OBSERVER of your anxiety and other emotions. 

You become an observer of your thoughts without becoming identified and overwhelmed by them. This is a key step that's necessary for changing the habits of anxiety panic attacks and also for depression. 

You have to break free from the habit of becoming overwhelmed by emotional reactivity and also cognitive reactivity. You have to learn to maintain balance in relationship to the mind. This is much easier than you might think. The problem, simply, is that most people are not given the guidance in how to do this. 

Talking therapy can be useful but often it simply does not help you break free from that problem of reactive identification. Also, medications do little to nothing to change the underlying habit of identification that triggers anxiety and depression and panic attacks and OCD and all of these other kinds of habitual emotional reactions. 

So, if you like to really learn how to manage your anxiety and panic attacks better, then please email me. Let's schedule a trial session so you can see for yourself just how effective the mindfulness approach can be.

Talk to a Psychotherapist online

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.
