Trauma
Have you had traumatic experiences recently or in the past?
Have these impacted and shaped your inability to connect to people and the world around you?
You may, as a result, be experiencing:
• substance use challenges
• mental health difficulties
• broken relationships
• chronic physical health conditions
• bouts of rage or sadness
Do any of these apply to you? If so, Somatic Experiencing can help to ameliorate these conditions by incorporating the latest knowledge in neurobiology with its accomplished methods to achieve positive outcomes and recovery from trauma.
What We Offer
Counselling brixham
Three Pillars Counselling Brixham offers Gestalt, Somatic Experiencing and Meditation, provides a distinct and proven approach to meet people in their life struggles and emotional difficulties.
The aim of Three Pillars Counselling is to provide a safe, warm, supportive and non-judgmental space that allows your challenges, whether that’s mental health difficulties, relationship problems, life changes, trauma, addictions, or any other difficulties that life throws at us to grow and evolve.
Gestalt Therapy Practitioner
This approach to counselling and psychotherapy promotes self-awareness to be more authentically yourself by facilitating a deeper understanding of your experience in order to live more fully in the present moment. There is an acknowledgement that the relationship between client and therapist is an important vehicle in this process allowing the client to gain new perspectives, increased self-confidence and alternative patterns of thinking and feeling.
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner – SEP
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a potent psychobiological method for resolving trauma symptoms and relieving chronic stress, and increases people’s vitality, equanimity, and capacity to actively engage in life.
The method involves introducing small amounts of traumatic material in a safe and guided process, so rather than just talk about the trauma, somatic therapists guide patients to focus more on their underlying physical sensations.
Transpersonal Practitioner
For those who have a pull to move further into the depths of your life experience, that is, a more transpersonal world view, then support from a psychospiritual orientation is also available. Utilising 13 years as a Diamond Approach student and 30 years meditation practice will allow us to unpack the hindrances that block, for example, regular practice or the psychological barriers preventing you going deeper into your meditation or maybe the challenge is translating insights and experiences into daily life.
counselling brixham
Through the integration of combining Gestalt psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing, as well as offering a transpersonal view, Three Pillars Counselling provides a seamless and effective process that is gentle yet powerful in its capacity to change your life and bring about the goals you wish to achieve. counselling melbourne
Testimonial
When I first got in touch with Rob my fear of vomiting controlled nearly every aspect of my life. Emetophobia isn’t something most people understand — it’s not just a simple dislike or squeamishness. For me, it meant constant anxiety, and a life that felt increasingly small.
From the very first session, Rob made me feel heard and understood without judgment.
Rob took the time to explain what was happening in my mind and body, and gave me real, practical tools to work through my anxiety rather than just avoid it. We had a few mentally challenging sessions which were confronting but necessary for my progression and really worked.
I hadn’t even tried Somatic Experiencing therapy before working with Rob and I’d truly recommend him to anyone needing support and guidance.
The progress I’ve made has been life-changing. Things that once felt completely impossible and overwhelming, I can now navigate with confidence. I still have hard days, but I have the skills to get through them.
I’m deeply grateful for the compassion, patience, and expertise Rob brought to our work together, thank you.
