Improving your life is a mix of helping your head and heart. With Neurofeedback (advanced brain training) and Somatically Focused Counselling, I use two of the most powerful, safe and well proven systems to help you move towards a more relaxed state of being. Difficult emotional states are most commonly a combination of imbalances in brain wave patterns and unprocessed trauma. This combination is designed to address your underlying difficulties.

Neurofeedback - is a comprehensive brain training system, that promotes healthy brain function. It started in research settings in the 1950s and was then further developed for use by health care professionals, to help people with a wide range of difficulties that originate in the brain.  It has been used to treat millions of people and has over 10,000 peer reviewed studies.

Are you feeling or struggling with:

• Depression
• Anxiety & Stress
• ADHD, Asperger’s & Autism
• Children struggling in education
• Anger
• Conflict within the home
• Loss & Grief
• Isolated
• Behaviour change following head injury
• Drugs & alcohol
• Abuse
• Attachment

Mental Health – is a combination of factors; intellectual, social, physical wellbeing, emotional resilience, and meaningful activity, to name but a few. However, to be able to develop these areas, we need good brain function. Studies show that neurofeedback increases the ability to absorb new information, plan, concentrate, remember, emotionally regulate, and relate to others in a more relaxed, empathetic and confident way. 

Somatically Focused Counselling - Difficult experiences that are not released are not just stored in and affect the mind, they also are stored in and affect the body. They do this in part because you have millions of neurons within your body. This storing of trauma physiologically is something that somatically focused counselling works with by helping you get in touch with how you are storing it within your body, and helping you release it in a regulating way. The therapeutic methods I use in addition to my counselling skills to do this are Thought Field Therapy (TFT) and body focused somatic counselling .

Profile - I have a long history of being involved in therapeutic work, starting in the 1980s working on a project to provide play therapy to children and people with learning difficulties. Over the years I have studied and qualified in several areas; Remedial Massage, Social Work, Integrative Counselling, Education, and 2 professional qualifications in neurofeedback, as well as ongoing training. 

After reading about neurofeedback in 2016 and looking at some of the research, I trained in Neurofeedback in 2017 and have integrated it into my practice ever since. To support my ongoing professional development within neurofeedback, I have monthly Zoom training with Dr. Mary Tracy PHD, a recognised leader in neurofeedback training.

Looking back, I can see that my focus has always been on being able to holistically work with the whole human being, and to help them resolve problems on as deep a level as possible. Having worked a great deal with various kinds of trauma, I think it is crucial for complex cases to have somatically focused counselling alongside neurofeedback, to help the person be able to make significant improvements.  

I am registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Reviews:

"Has helped not only our son, but our whole family."

"We were really struggling with our adopted son's behaviour. Keith's patience and enquiring, empathic approach has unlocked how the underlying impact of early life trauma has manifested itself in our son's ability to cope emotionally. His persistent search and trial of holistic techniques and strategies has helped not only our son, but our whole family."

Adoptive parent

"Has really helped me re-gain my life"

"I was struggling with drinking and feeling low, Also my family noticed, which also had an effect on them. Since having my sessions with Keith it has really helped me re-gain my life. Having Neurofeedback and counselling sessions along with tapping [emotional Acupressure] has taught me coping strategies, but most of the time I don't need them, as I'm feeling much better. My family is also doing much better - I can highly recommend and have done so to other friends who are also making a recovery."
