We are now back after easter providing psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, counselling, hypnotherapy, cbt, Nlp, coaching and mindfulness in edinburgh, Falkirk and Glasgow. Most of this week we are based in Edinburgh. Thursday Stuart is at the Falkirk clinic, as well as visiting a new potential base in Stirling. Saturday Stuart is not seeing clients due to a day long university based professional development training.
Just to update. Although we are taking some time off for easter, we will have appointments available for Psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, counselling, hypnotherapy and coaching over the whole period. Email us or use the contact form to find out more.
CNHC, the voluntary regulator for complementary health, including hypnotherapy (although this is actually a psychological therapy), has issued new ethical standards.
Frankly at first and second look, if therapists are not adhering to these standards then they are not adhering to basic standards of practice. These standards have been written in NOS for years (National Occupational Standards).
We are already adhering to the standards required by CNHC post 1st June 2014, Frankly these standards are more strict then we were expecting professionally, but we have always aimed higher than that. Therefore we are placed to more than exceed the new standards.
Most of the Standards are NOS based. National Occupational Standards are the good practice guides for the industry, and we have consistently adhered to these.
We again object to hypnotherapy being classed as a complementary therapy. If hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy, then so are counselling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, CBT, NLP, mindfulness, life coaching. We are providing a psychotherapy that underpins modern psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and is related to mindfulness and NLP.
Sorry to say that both of us picked up a tummy bug via our work in the last week and therefore had to take time off to recover and then ensure we did not pass it on. We feel strongly that it is our responsibility to cancel appointments if there is a risk of passing on a nasty flu or other bug.
Since 1993, as a student and since 1996 as a full graduate, Stuart has provided Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy, coaching, psychoanalysis, stress counselling and general health education training ( as part of a Level 4 NVQ Training & Development NVQ)
The most important standards are the AVR scheme standards. AVR or Accredited Voluntary Register are the registers maintained by the Professional Standards Agency. The PSA maintain standards for those healthcare personnel who are not subject to statutory regulation.
Denise is a CNHC registered hypnotherapist – an AVR register.
Stuart is both a CNHC registered hypnotherapist and a FHT registered therapist, both are AVR registers.
This week I am having some time off, since I picked up a bug over the weekend.
Psychoanalysis and hypnotherapy provision will start up again on Thursday in Falkirk, then in Edinburgh on Friday and Saturday. I will be back in Glasgow next week.
Full range of therapies are normally available in Edinburgh, Falkirk and Glasgow. Stuart provides hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, counselling, psychoanalysis, NLP, CBT, integrative psychology and life coaching. Denise provides CBT, hypnotherapy, counselling and psychology (Edinburgh only).
People on qualifying benefits and full time students can receive heavily discounted therapy in Edinburgh. Includes counselling, hypnotherapy, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, NLP, CBT and life coaching. Spaces available at the moment (April 2014).
Back in edinburgh tomorrow (Saturday) all day providing psychoanalysis and integrated psychotherapy for a range of issues. From the diary it looks like a day of sexual therapy issues, developmental and disassociation issues, drug abuse issues and relationship based issues.
Probably plenty of disassociation and rejection themes so narrative work and examining object relations will probably dominate.
The great thing about this job is that although you can predict likely session content, there are always surprises, since in psychoanalysis the client brings their own story without the constraint of fixed session planning.
I (Stuart) provide psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, counselling, hypnotherapy, cbt, Nlp, mindfulness and eastern Psychology in edinburgh, Falkirk and Glasgow, Scotland.
Clients often wonder if dividing certain traits and behaviours, especially in communication, into male and feminine, is gender specific.
Generally male and female traits are those which historically are more associated with one gender or the other, but not exclusively so. For example Lacan makes clear that the male phallus identity is not biological but about what it means to be male. Kabbala gender is about the female intuitive trait and male logical trait in everyone.
Simply the expressions continue to be used loosely in a non gender specific way, accepting that every person has both non competing sides.
After the weekend break, largely spend on CPD 🙂 , and today (Monday) doing paperwork. I am back to clinic tomorrow, Tuesday. As things stand the day will be spent providing couples psychoanalysis in the morning, and individual psychoanalysis in the afternoon.
Couples psychoanalysis combines elements of individual psychoanalysis and social psychoanalytic theory, and looks a lot at perception and narrative. It is highly individual to the couple and draws a lot on the work of Klein.
Individual psychoanalysis is a method that looks at the person, not individual conditions. Depression or anxiety therefore might be seen as outcomes relating to historical or developmental events.
Stuart has been practicing psychoanalysis for many years having completed his 1993-1996 training in analysis, clinical hypnotherapy and stress counselling with ASM (now Society of Stress Managers, a CNHC accreditation route).
Since then he has completed a 2nd Bachelor’s degree, a MSc Psychology and extensive externally accredited CPD training in different psychological therapies and counselling styles.
Stuart practices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Falkirk. He is registered with the CNHC voluntary regulator as a clinical hypnotherapist, and is listed on both the CNHC and FHT AR schemes. AR’s or accredited registers, are maintained by the Professional Standards Agency for healthcare professionals not subject to statutory regulation.
