Dr Nash uses a mindfulness-based approach to counselling with couples and individuals.
Mindfulness-based
counseling is based on the idea that much of our everyday suffering is
in fact unnecessary and is produced by unconscious beliefs that are no
longer relevant, true or necessary. The method is designed to bring
such beliefs into consciousness.
It is a
method of assisted self-study and discovery. It can bring normally
inaccessible mental processes into consciousness gently and
efficiently. Once these mental processes (such as beliefs
memories,habits and emotions) are made conscious, they can be examined
and modified to provide a more realistic and satisfying way of being.
You
can expect to gain relief from persistent painful emotions and
behaviors which is probably the greatest reward. And you will gain a
much deeper understanding of yourself and with that, more freedom to
choose what you'll be able to feel, greater pleasure in everyday living,
and to engage in fuller richer more rewarding relationships. Assisted
self-study can achieve all that.
