Welcome.

My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional psychotherapist, based in Boulder, Colorado

and I offer online mindfulness therapy over Skype.

So, online psychotherapy through Skype is becoming increasingly popular and there are

now many Skype therapists who offer online psychotherapy for help with anxiety depression

and other non-clinical psychological problems.

The style of psychotherapy that I offer is called mindfulness therapy and it's very effective

indeed for treating anxiety and depression and many other common psychological suffering

that are caused by reactive thinking, by becoming overwhelmed by reactive and intrusive thoughts

that feeds the underlying anxiety or depression.

Mindfulness training is one of the best ways available to help you break these patterns

of habitual reactive thinking and stop feeding reactive thinking.

Then basically you're taking the fuel away from the emotion underneath.

So if you prevent that automatic habitual reactive thinking you essentially extinguish

the anxiety or depression.

Sometimes we have to work with the underlying core emotions themselves and this is done

also during mindfulness therapy sessions where we learn to change the way we relate to our

emotions and instead of reacting to them with avoidance or resistance or aversion, we can

instead cultivate a conscious, friendly relationship with our emotions, and this too is a very

effective and a very important step in promoting the healing of anxiety depression.

So if you're interested in working with Skype therapist like myself and you would like to

learn more about mindfulness approach for treating anxiety and depression, then do please

go to my website and then even e-mail me and we can schedule a Skype therapy session at

a time that was you.

Seeing Skype therapists is a very good option if you are not finding the right kind of therapist

to work with in your area.

Or if you're living abroad and can't find a local psychotherapist to work with or if

you are specifically interested in the mindful approach.

There are a growing number of psychotherapists who are trained in the use of mindfulness

but they are still not that widely available.

Also there's not a great understanding yet of what mindfulness actually is.

Most people who teach mindfulness as part of the psychotherapy are really teaching and

awareness skill, which is very useful and very important and a necessary first step

for overcoming these patterns of a habitual reactive thinking, but mindfulness is much,

much more than just awareness.

It is cultivating a particular quality of conscious relationship with your emotions

and also with your thoughts.

It's learning to develop such a strong relationship with your mind that you become free from your

mind, that is from thoughts and memories and emotions.

Developing this inner freedom is the ultimate goal of mindfulness therapy and it's essential,

as I say, to develop this quality of relationship to undo those patterns of habitual reactivity

that feeds your emotional suffering.

So please feel free to contact me if you would like to schedule a Skype therapy session.

The service is available worldwide, and I see many people in Europe and further afield

as well as in the USA.

So I look forward to hearing from you and working with you and explaining to you how

we can work using mindfulness therapy to overcome your anxiety or depression.

Thank you.
