Question 1

What is Telehealth?

Accepted Answer

What is telehealth?
Telehealth is essentially conducting health services (like counselling or clinical hypnotherapy) via video conferencing online!
Is it effective?
Research indicates that receiving counselling services via telehealth is just as effective as face to face support.
How does it work?
It’s extremely simple! You’ll receive an e-mail with a link to our online platform; simply click on the link at the time of your scheduled appointment and Luigi will appear via video and conduct your session just like he would a face to face appointment.
What do I need for a telehealth appointment?
We encourage clients to use a private room at home (advise housemates/family not to disturb you for the duration of your appointment). You can use your smart phone, laptop or tablet (as long as they have a camera and mic function, which most do these days). I also suggest using headphones or airpods etc!
How much do online sessions cost?
Session fees are the same as our regular face to face prices, as you’re paying for our clinician’s time. However, if cost is a barrier for you to access telehealth sessions with me, then please let me know as I may be able to negotiate a different fee, depending on circumstances.
How many sessions do I need? 
The number of sessions an individual requires varies. Some people only require a few sessions in order to meet their goals and outcomes, others come longer term to deal with more complex issues. I encourage people to commit to six sessions to give the process of treatment an opportunity to develop.
Is it secure?
YES! The platforms we use are encrypted and you can rest assured the contents of your session will remain confidential.
I feel weird / nervous about doing a video session? 
Completely understandable, as it’s a platform many people haven’t tried before. If you’re a current client or a new client wanting to book in, we highly encourage you to give it a try, you’ll likely be surprised very early in the session how comfortable you’ll feel and how very similar it is to a face to face appointment.

Question 2

What exactly is Hypnosis?

Accepted Answer

What exactly is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a state of altered consciousness that occurs naturally in every person just before entering into the sleep state. In therapeutic hypnosis, we prolong this brief interlude so that we can work within its bounds.
 
Dr James Braid conceived the word “Hypnosis”. He was born in 1795, studied medicine at Edinburgh, and settled as a surgeon in Manchester, where he died in 1860. Braid utilised the name of the Greek god of Sleep, Hypno, as the basis for the name of the healing modality to which he dedicated his life’s work.
Can everybody be hypnotised?
Yes because it is a normal state that everyone passes through before going to sleep. However, it is possible to resist Hypnosis, as it is possible to resist going asleep. With practice, the resistance to hypnosis can be overcome.
What is the value of Hypnosis?
It is often employed to reduce tension and discomfort that accompany various physical problems, and to aid certain rehabilitative procedures. is also used to address many problems such as anxiety, depression, destructive habits, and other emotional responses to the stress of daily life.
Who can utilise Hypnosis?
Only a qualified professional should decide if one needs hypnosis or would benefit from it. The professional person needs special training in the techniques and uses of hypnosis before being considered qualified. The professional should be a member of a registered therapeutic hypnosis association.
Can’t hypnosis be dangerous?
The hypnotic state is no more dangerous than the sleep state. Hypnosis, as portrayed in the movies, and other media, often strays far from reality. There are no dangers in therapeutic hypnosis when practiced by ethical and qualified therapists. Hypnosis is a safe and highly effective drug-free form of therapy for conditions that affect the body, mind and spirit.
 
What does it feel like to be hypnotised?
The experience of hypnosis is no different from that of relaxing and going asleep. Because this experience is so familiar, one may expect something startling different in hypnosis and be discouraged when hypnosis is induced.

The mind is active, and thoughts are totally under the control of the client who perceives all stimuli and is able to communicate with the therapist. Occasionally heaviness in the arms and tingling in the hands and fingers may be experienced.

Most have the idea that they will go through something different, new and spectacular in the hypnotic state. Often, they equate being hypnotised with being anaesthetised, being asleep or being unconscious. When in hypnosis they find that their mind is active; that they can hear every sound in the room; that they can resist suggestions if they so desire; that their attention keeps wandering, their thoughts race around; that they have not fallen asleep and they remember everything when they open their eyes and so believe that they are a poor subject and are apt to abandon hypnotic treatments.
How does hypnosis work?
The mind is completely suggestible. It is constantly bombarded with information from outside and suggestive thoughts and ideas from the inside.

A good deal of human suffering is the consequence of “negative” thoughts and impulses invading one’s mind from subconscious recesses. Past experiences, guilt feelings and repudiated impulses and desires are incessantly pushing themselves into awareness, directly or in disguised forms, sabotaging one’s happiness, health and efficiency.

In Hypnosis, we replace these “negative” thoughts and attitudes with “positive” ones. It can take some time to change the old patterns so do not be discouraged if there are no immediate effects.
 
Professional hypnosis is confidential and non-judgmental.

Question 3

Counselling/Pyschotherapy

Accepted Answer

What’s the difference between Counselling and Psychotherapy?
 
Some people use both terms to mean the same thing.
 
Counselling is a form of ‘talk therapy’ with a short term focus (3-8 sessions) and focused on identifying and implementing potential solutions to a current issue or problem.
 
Psychotherapy is a medium to longer-term process (often 10+ sessions) focused on long-standing attitudes, thoughts, behaviours and feelings that have significantly impacted on an individual’s quality of life, relationships and/or work.
 
In this regard, psychotherapy is often considered ‘deeper’ than counselling as it seeks to uncover and modify the root or historical causes of your problems.
 
Outcomes in psychotherapy are often more dramatic, as they may represent significant shifts in your perspective, beliefs, personality or feelings.
 
Psychotherapy is also commonly focused on giving you the skills you need for ongoing self-reflection and self-knowledge. Such skills can be hugely valuable post-therapy in understanding your unconscious triggers and impulses and how your mind works.
 
In practice, counselling and psychotherapy can look very similar from the outside. For example, both counselling and therapy sessions are typically 60 minutes in duration.
Psychotherapists also use many of the same core skills as counsellors.
 
Professional counselling is confidential and non-judgmental.

Question 4

What is Psychosexual Counselling/Sex Therapy?

Accepted Answer

What is Psychosexual Counselling/Sex Therapy?
 
Psychosexual Counselling or Sex Therapy is a professional and ethical treatment approach to issues of sexual function and expression.
 
Sexuality is of legitimate concern to professionals and that it is the right of individuals to expert assistance with their sexual difficulties.
 
Psychosexual counselling employs many of the same basic principles as the other therapeutic modalities, but is unique in that it is an approach developed specifically for the treatment of sexual issues. That is, psychosexual counselling is a specialised form of treatment used with one aspect of the wide range of human issues.
 
Psychosexual Counselling then, is the focusing of specialised clinical skills on helping people of all ages and backgrounds as individuals and/or as couples to deal more effectively with their sexual expression.
 
Psychosexual Counselling is the result of relatively recent scientific attention to human sexual function and dysfunction. Out of the increased knowledge of the physiology and psychology of human sexual behaviour has come a new professional appreciation for human sexual response.
 
At a time in our society when sexuality is being more openly discussed, we are beginning to realise how uninformed many people really are about this important personal topic.
All therapy depends upon trust and mutual respect, but this is particularly true when working with intimate issues of sexuality.
 
The importance of sexual function for individuals varies, of course, but for many it is closely tied in with their total concept of self-identity. For these, problems in sexual function may lead to devaluation of self - "When I cannot feel good about my sexuality, how can I feel good about myself?"
 
Regardless of the structure of the intimate relationship shared, sexuality serves a valuable function for most couples. It becomes an expression of caring, not only for the partner, but for oneself. It can become a powerful bonding element in a relationship, which, in today's society, must withstand considerable demands on time, energy and commitment.
Dissatisfaction with the sex and the loss of that shared intimacy, in many instances, may lead to negative feelings and attitudes which are destructive to the relationship. Many relationships end therefore, because of unresolved sexual differences and difficulties.
 
Psychosexual counselling is confidential and non-judgmental.
 
What is a Psychosexual Counsellor/Sex Therapist?
 
Psychosexual Counsellors are specifically trained in sexuality topics and psychosexual therapy.
 
People who have been trained specifically in counselling/psychotherapy receive training in self-awareness and the self in therapeutic context. Training in values and attitudes to sexuality is an extension of this, specifically focused on the sexological/psychosexual therapeutic arena.
 
Values and attitudes training develops a psychosexual counsellor’s understanding of their own values and attitudes towards human sexuality and an understanding of topics many people are uncomfortable exploring. Although we may not agree with a sexual practice we need to be able to support people who engage in non-normative sexual practices.
 
There are no physical examinations; a psychosexual counsellor will only ever talk with you.
 
So what exactly does a Psychosexual Counsellor/Sex Therapist do?
 
A psychosexual counsellor works with a wide variety of issues related to sexuality.
They will listen to you without judgement and ask you some questions, so together they can begin to understand your concerns and discuss ways in which they may be able to assist.
 
Clients seek help with such issues about arousal (impotence and frigidity), as well as issues with orgasm (either inability to climax or the inability to control ejaculation).
In addition to seeking medical evaluation and treatment, many clients who experience painful intercourse also seek the assistance of a psychosexual counsellor.
 
Couples often seek help when it becomes apparent that differences exist in their sexual desires or when they sense that their sexual relationship is not growing, as they would wish.
 
The qualified psychosexual counsellor is also available to those wishing to resolve troublesome sexual inhibitions or change undesirable sexual habits. People with questions about their sexual identity or sexual preferences seek out the trained psychosexual counsellor for consultation.
 
Psychosexual counsellors also assist those experiencing sexual difficulties as a result of physical disabilities or as the consequence of illness, surgery, ageing or trauma.
As with any therapy for personal or behavioural difficulties, psychosexual counselling has its limitations. Although usually brief and effective with most sexual concerns, psychosexual counselling does not offer a miracle cure for all interpersonal problems.

What is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)?

Accepted Answer

What's EMDR Anyway? 
EMDR is like a superhero for your mind—it stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, but don't let the jargon intimidate you. Think of it as a gentle guide for your brain, helping it process past traumas and challenging experiences in a way that promotes healing. 
Picture this: your brain is a vast library with shelves filled with memories, some neatly organized, while others are tucked away in the dusty corners. EMDR steps in like a wise librarian, assisting you in revisiting, reorganizing, and making sense of those memories so they don't haunt you anymore. 
What Can EMDR Be Used For? 
Now, you might be curious about the superhero's powers. EMDR isn't a one-trick pony—it's a versatile tool that can be used for various challenges life throws your way. 
1. Trauma Triage: EMDR is like a gentle first responder for trauma. Whether it's a car accident, a difficult breakup, or the lingering effects of a painful childhood, this therapy is designed to help your brain process the tough stuff, allowing you to move forward without being weighed down. 
2. Anxiety Alleviation: Imagine EMDR as a soothing balm for an anxious mind. If you find yourself stuck in a loop of worry or panic, EMDR can help rewire those neural pathways, offering relief and helping you regain control over your thoughts and emotions. 
3. Phobia Phasing Out: Afraid of spiders? Scared of heights? EMDR can be your fearless companion in overcoming phobias. By reprocessing the fear associated with certain triggers, this therapy helps desensitize your reactions, letting you face these challenges with newfound resilience. 
4. PTSD Prowess: For those dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), EMDR is a game-changer. It's like a supportive friend guiding you through the maze of memories, helping your brain process and integrate them in a way that doesn't send you spiralling into distress.

The Life-Changing Marvel of EMDR: 
Alright, let's talk about the life-changing bit. EMDR isn't just about managing symptoms; it's about rewriting the narrative of your life. Think of it as an editor for the story your mind tells itself. By addressing past wounds, EMDR empowers you to create a future unburdened by the weight of unresolved experiences. 
Imagine waking up in the morning with a lighter heart, feeling more in control of your thoughts and emotions. That's the potential EMDR holds—it's not just a therapy; it's a journey towards self-discovery and healing. 
The beauty of EMDR is in its subtlety. It doesn't force change; it gently guides you towards it. It's like a quiet revolution within your mind, allowing you to release the shackles of the past and step into a brighter, more empowered future. 
So, if you're ready to embark on a journey of healing—one that combines the wisdom of your past with the resilience of your present—EMDR might just be the ally you've been waiting for. It's not about erasing memories; it's about transforming them into sources of strength, resilience, and growth.

Depression: When the weight of the world feels like it's on your shoulders, EMDR can be a lifeline in shifting those heavy burdens.

However, and here's the real talk – EMDR isn't a one-and-done deal. For the best results, it usually takes around 10 sessions with a qualified therapist. It's a commitment, sure, but think about it like going to the gym for your mental health – you got to put in the reps to see the gains.

Question 7

What is Professional Supervision?

Accepted Answer

PROFESSIONAL SUPERVISION

In the dynamic world of mental health, where compassion and expertise intersect, Luigi stands out as a guiding light for fellow clinicians seeking professional supervision. As a seasoned mental health professional, Luigi has carved a niche for himself, offering invaluable supervision to colleagues in the field. But what exactly is professional supervision, and why is Luigi's approach noteworthy? Let's delve into the world of reflective practice within the theoretical framework of social work to understand the significance. 
What is Professional Supervision in Mental Health? 
Professional supervision is more than just a check-in or oversight; it's a collaborative and reflective process designed to enhance the quality of mental health services. It's not about being scrutinised; rather, it's a supportive partnership where clinicians can explore their practice, share challenges, and receive guidance. Luigi's role as a supervisor is akin to a trusted mentor, providing a safe space for colleagues to grow both personally and professionally. 
The Theoretical Lens: Reflective Practice in Social Work 
At the heart of professional supervision lies the theoretical framework of reflective practice, a cornerstone in social work. Reflective practice involves a thoughtful and intentional exploration of one's experiences, actions, and feelings to gain deeper insights and improve professional effectiveness. In the context of mental health, this means clinicians engaging in a continuous cycle of self-awareness, exploration, and learning from their practice. 
Luigi, drawing on his extensive background in social work, places reflective practice at the core of his supervisory approach. This framework encourages clinicians to step back, examine their work, and consider how their values, beliefs, and experiences influence their interactions with clients. Through this process, mental health professionals can refine their skills, strengthen their ethical foundations, and ultimately enhance the quality of care they provide. 
Luigi's Approach to Professional Supervision 
Luigi's supervision is characterized by a blend of empathy, wisdom, and a commitment to fostering growth. In his sessions, he creates a space where clinicians can openly discuss their cases, challenges, and personal experiences without fear of judgment. This open dialogue allows for a deep exploration of the emotional and ethical dimensions of their work. 
One of Luigi's key strengths is his ability to guide clinicians in translating reflective insights into actionable steps for improvement. Through a collaborative process, he helps his supervisees set goals, develop new strategies, and integrate their newfound awareness into their practice. It's not just about talking; it's about catalysing meaningful change and continuous improvement. 
Why Seek Professional Supervision with Luigi? 
Tailored Guidance: Luigi recognises that every clinician is unique, and their journey requires personalized guidance. His supervision is not a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, it's a collaborative effort to understand individual strengths, challenges, and aspirations. 
Promoting Self-Care: Mental health clinicians often find themselves deeply immersed in the well-being of others. Luigi's supervision emphasises the importance of self-care, ensuring that practitioners prioritise their mental health and resilience to provide optimal care for their clients. 
Ethical Reflection: With a keen eye on ethical considerations, Luigi facilitates discussions around ethical dilemmas, cultural competence, and boundary issues. This ensures that clinicians navigate their roles with integrity and cultural sensitivity. 
A Beacon of Support and Growth 
Luigi's commitment to professional supervision goes beyond routine oversight; it's a testament to his dedication to the well-being of the mental health community. Through the lens of reflective practice in social work, Luigi facilitates an environment where clinicians not only refine their skills but also cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and their impact on others. As mental health professionals navigate the complexities of their field, Luigi stands as a beacon of support and growth, offering a transformative experience that resonates far beyond the supervisory sessions. 
 
In the vast landscape of mental health and therapeutic practice, one name stands out – Luigi. With a wealth of experience as a social worker, clinical hypnotherapist, and sex therapist, Luigi is not just a practitioner; he's a guide, a mentor, and a seasoned professional offering his expertise in professional supervision to fellow mental health clinicians. 
Understanding Professional Supervision 
Let's start by demystifying the term "professional supervision." It's not about oversight or micromanagement. Instead, it's a collaborative and reflective process that aims to enhance the quality of professional practice. From the theoretical standpoint of social work, professional supervision aligns closely with the principles of reflective practice and care. 
Reflective Practice: Professional supervision, as seen through the lens of social work, is rooted in reflective practice. It's not merely about going through the motions but involves a deep and thoughtful examination of one's professional experiences. Through this process, practitioners, under Luigi's guidance, explore the nuances of their work, examining the impact of their actions, values, and the dynamics of their client relationships. 
Care-Centric Approach: Luigi brings a unique care-centric approach to professional supervision. It's not just about meeting performance standards; it's about fostering a culture of compassion and understanding within the therapeutic space. In this framework, the well-being of both the clinician and the clients takes center stage. Luigi creates a supportive environment where clinicians feel empowered to address the challenges they face and, in turn, provide better care to their clients. 
Luigi's Professional Supervision: In Person and Online 
Luigi's dedication to professional growth extends beyond the traditional boundaries of in-person sessions. Recognizing the evolving nature of the mental health landscape, Luigi offers professional supervision both in person and online. Whether you're across the table or on the other side of the screen, Luigi provides a safe and enriching space for clinicians to delve into their professional journeys.
