Community Therapy
Community therapy involves sessions in public places such as parks, supermarkets, or schools. This is available within a 15 mile radius of Yate, South Gloucestershire.
Here are some of the ways that community therapy can be used, if you are interested in using community therapy in a way not listed below then this can be explored.
Anxiety
Community therapy lends itself very well to treating anxiety. Together, we can plan exposure activities which target your anxiety in a gradual way and join you at a suitable location to support you through the activity. This therapy approach often involves a mix of online and community sessions.
School Refusal
Does your child or adolescent struggle to attend school due to anxiety? Has it caused them to withdrawn from school entirely, or are you concerned that it is headed in this direction? Community therapy is a supportive and compassionate way to increase your child's exposure to school activities. With a mixture of online and community sessions, I can work with you and their school to support your child.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a therapy which supports you to become grounded in your body and in the present moment. Mindfulness can be helpful at reducing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, low mood, and many other difficulties. Many people find being mindful in nature to be a very calming experience. Whether it be a mindful walk in nature or mindfully sitting near a river, I can support you to build your skills in mindfulness in a calming environment that best suits you.
Please note that community therapy is only available in public places, I am unable to provide therapy at your home.
