Are you looking for
psychotherapy and counselling in Colchester? Philippe Jacquet & Associates
can help you through a holistic and integrated approach.
The Basics of Psychotherapy
Many people are nervous or
anxious when they think about psychotherapy. At Philippe Jacquet &
Associates, clients will find their way to an emotionally safe and comfortable
place from their first appointment.
There are many different
therapeutic models in psychotherapy, but all models focus on a relationship
between the professional and the client that allows for deep introspection and
the exploration of very personal issues.
Talk therapy is designed to
provide the client and therapist with the opportunity to go back in time and
explore how negative thoughts developed. Often, this starts with dysfunctional
families, but it can also be caused by trauma, the breakup of a relationship,
or mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD).
Through psychotherapy, which
is typically a weekly appointment for the initial period of treatment, clients
can get a clear understanding of the negative thoughts that are driving their
behaviours in the present. This is true for addictions, anxiety and depression,
relationship disorders, and problems for children with disabilities, which are
negatively affecting the life of a child, teen or adult.
The natural outcome of this
enhanced understanding is to become more of a positive coping strategy. The
psychotherapist and the client work together to create a new life.
What psychotherapy treatment
is available in Colchester?
Our private psychiatrists
offer a range of treatments to address a multitude of conditions including, but
not limited to, eating disorders, stress, and anxiety.
We take an integrative
approach to therapy in our Colchester branch, using a mixture of counselling,
art therapy, body work, and more to get the best results for our patients.
Usually, we find that this combination of approaches work because we can look
at the issue under different lenses and from different perspectives to
understand it better.
Naturally, this takes some
time to find out what works and what doesn’t, so we can’t say that after a
six-week course, you’ll be magically cured. In fact, we tend not to give these
things a time limit at all because we find that unhelpful to the treatment
process. It really comes down to the age-old question of whether we want
something done fast or done right and, especially in terms of mental health, we
should always prioritise doing something right, rather than going too fast.
Counselling at Philippe
Jacquet & Associates
Part of being human is
dealing with complicated and complex issues in our life. For anyone, at any
time, there may be situations that are more difficult to manage on our own. In
most cases, these issues are triggers that bring up issues from our past and
drive our behaviour.
To make it even more
complicated, it is very common, as we are experiencing these thoughts, to be
unaware of their origins or their impact on our lives today. Through
psychotherapy, it is possible to unlock those hidden beliefs and behaviours and
make positive, healthy choices for the present and the future.
As an internationally
recognized psychotherapist, Philippe Jacquet works with clients of all ages who
are seeking to change their thoughts and behaviours from negative and
destructive to positive and effective. Utilizing a range of different
therapeutic methods, the professionals at Philippe Jacquet & Associates
take a holistic and integrated approach to the treatment of each client,
working on the whole person and creating a balance that is compassionate and
highly effective.
