Do you need to see a trained counsellor to support you

in facing and creating new ways of living through

a difficult time in your life?

The advantage of seeing a Psychophonetics practitioner is that there is an in-depth conversation as well as an expressive phase in each session, allowing you to explore and transform your experience, to make a difference in your situation.

The counselling process involves listening to you and exploring the issue you describe in conversation until a common picture or understanding is achieved between you and the counsellor, regarding your situation.

On this basis, you are invited to form a practical wish statement for your next step. This acts as a guide for the direction of the action phase part of the session.

A common starting point is for you to choose a moment in life relating to your issue. You recall this moment and then through body sensing, gesture, visualisation and sound therapy, you and the counsellor work together in an experiential and creative way, exploring the inner dynamics of your experience.

Using non-verbal ways of knowing offers a transformative approach in which you gain skills to use in everyday life. You may also choose to use drawing, painting and claywork in the sessions and at home.

Using sounds feels like I’ve broken down a black box that I’ve been inside. Each time I make a sound and gesture I give myself more space…I had negative thought patterns and old behaviours that I was able to break down with sounds… I’ve involved the whole of me to heal the whole of me, not just the mind.

Practitioners can work with most issues as they are trained to work with your experience of an issue as the basis of encouraging your own inner knowing, feelings and needs.

Typical issues that can be worked with using this creative and expressive process include:

• decision making
  

• overcoming reactions

• transforming anger
  

• vocational counselling
  

• heart protection
  

• recovery from panic attacks
  

• fear of public speaking
  

• managing stress
  

• relationship issues
  

• grief and loss
  

• recovery from abuse and addiction
  

• overcoming artistic blocks
  

• and many others

Psychophonetics counselling and psychotherapy is a therapeutic and educational learning process that is encouraging the development of each person's potential to become more of who they are.

I never quite understood what had happened to me in the past and what impact it had on me and why I was affected so much … It was amazing to find out and to have a greater clarity and understanding about past hurts and triggers … I mean first I had to gesture the situation, feel it, find a colour and sound and then at the end was the clay.The clarity of seeing the relationships, seeing it in clay was quite profound for me … there was a different perspective completely.
