Depression
(Click to See Brainwave Entrainment)
I have developed a Tool which records the client's feelings at the start of therapy, the higher the score the greater negativity and time spent in that modality. This enables me to measure the effectiveness of my therapeutic programme in a dynamic and powerful way throughout the process. This is hard evidence that my programme of healing and change really works in a short time frame of 6 weeks. All it takes is full participation in the programme.
The following table is an extract of data from clients with initial issues of stress, anxiety, depression, various addictions including weight issues, IBS, relationship and bereavement issues, as well as work related, lack of confidence and self-esteem, and academic related issues, who completed my 6 week therapy programme between February 2008 and June 2009. The table shows significant improvements in 8 key areas.

The small improvement in 'Thinking about the future' is infact a mixed result, in that many clients report that their thoughts about their future after the 6 week therapy programme is brighter and more positive; whereas the score at the start of therapy was from a negative view point.
A definition of depression is seen as a mental state of being, characterised by a pessimistic sense of inadequacy and a despondent lack of activity.
“There is nothing I can do” … “It’s hopeless” … “I am useless” … “Why bother it will not work”
This is a condition that generally everyone at sometime in their lives will suffer from. There are many levels of depression, from severe and chronic to mild. There are many causes of depression, which is seen by the medical profession as an illness. I do not see it as an illness but as An Addiction. Depression is self inflicted by the belief system of the individual; you can not catch depression you have to give it to yourself. We specialise in Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to help overcome depression. This type of therapy is approved by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).
