Chris Tyce MCMI. MAREBT

Counselling and Therapy overlap.  Whilst counselling has the emphasis on sorting out a current situation; therapy is about making long-term changes to deep-rooted patterns and is more focused and change-centred.

Counselling provides an impartial, understanding atmosphere in which to explore thoughts and feelings about an issue and ultimately to find your own solutions.  Sometimes even one or two sessions can be enough to begin to see a way forward.

Therapy is a safe environment where we can understand and re-evaluate the beliefs we hold about ourselves, other people and our world. By exploring the feelings, experiences, memories, beliefs and thoughts that lie beneath the difficulties in our life, change can and does happen at the deepest levels.

There are many different approaches to therapy.  There is no one therapy or therapist that is right for everyone, each one will be more appropriate to particular issues or to individual people.  It is important to find the one that seems right for you - that is why I always offer a free initial consultation before you decide.

I specialise in the therapies that have been long-recognised as the most effective way to make changes in the shortest time.  My approach incorporates CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) and NLP because from my experience this is the most practical and successful way to help change things in the shortest possible time.  CBT has long been recognised by Doctors and health professionals as the most effective therapy to change anxiety quickly and permanently.  NLP adds to it's effectiveness.

CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy)

CBT is a very practical and systematic approach to changing patterns of thought and behaviour.  I use an approach called Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy which helps to understand the irrational and limiting thoughts and behaviour patterns that hold us back and then uses a graduated approach to change how we feel and respond to situations.

NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)

NLP is a more recent approach that was essentially based on everything that worked in all the other main therapies.  It is a highly practical approach that helps us understand and more easily change "how we do things" in our mind - it is a very elegant way of identifying disruptive patterns and replacing them with things that just work better.  NLP appeals to people who like to understand how they do things and appreciate simple and effective mental tools they can take away and utilise.  This practical approach of NLP has made it effective not only in therapy but also as probably the single most favoured approach in the workplace to enhance the performance of individuals, teams and organisations.
