About Lindsay Duncan
I have been a 'people' person for as long as I can remember - always concerned about the feelings of other people. So, making this the centre of my working life seems pretty logical. I was a youth counsellor for about 15 years, I became a student counsellor in a university for another 15 years and in my private practice I have worked with a range of people aged from 8 to 80.
All of my work is about relationships the foundations of how we exist. How we relate to ourselves is of prime importance because this affects how we relate to other people in our lives.
Counselling
Life throws us hurdles… and sometimes we need help to get over them.
Everybody faces problems - and it's OK not to have ready-made answers in your own toolbox. It's OK to ask a counsellor to help you find the answers.
Counselling helps you find the answers to solve problems. Counsellors have big ears and little mouths. Counsellors are skilled to listen and reflect back what you say in different ways. Through talking to another person about the things that concern you, you can reveal to yourself what the problem is really about. This works best when the person you are talking to has no emotional involvement in your problems - counselling with family and friends often confuses facts with feelings, whereas a counsellor can stand outside your words and make objective observations about the things you say.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Negative emotions are known to be caused by blockages in the energy system of the body. This disrupts the mind-body connection and causes emotional and physical illness. Based on the science of acupuncture, EFT is like acupuncture without the needles. By stimulating the same acupressure points with gentle tapping, emotional blockages can be shifted to bring release from emotions such as anger, envy, hatred, suicidal thoughts, and physical pain such as headache, muscle damage, and stomach ache. The technique is also being used with heroin addicts and with Vietnam Veterans to release them from 40 years of post-traumatic stress disorder.
PSH Therapy
Private Subconscious-mind Healing or PSH Therapy is a method of emotional healing that enables clients to change the way they feel about themselves. The changes are made privately, gently and quickly, within the client's inner mind. PSH Therapy is not invasive, unlike many of the more conventional conscious-mind therapies that rely on time-consuming probing of personal histories and reliving of past trauma. Such therapies teach clients to cope with symptoms, and live with them, through 'reframing' the way they think consciously about certain life events or current situations. In contrast, rather than focusing on the symptoms PSH Therapy aims specifically to resolve the original subconscious cause of the presenting problem and to eliminate it permanently.
Relationships
Relationships don't just happen...
They require hard work - and sometimes we need help from a counsellor to do that work. Relationships face us with some of the most demanding aspects of being human. To be in a relationship with someone is far more than the Hollywood myths about 'falling in love'.
