The rest of the practice
Other areas
Alongside Bowen and homeopathy, the consultation rests on my core medical training and on the measurable side of the practice.
Neurotherapy and BrainMap
At the BrainMap Institute I analyse the results of the BrainMap assessment and build intervention plans on them. It is the part of my practice that rests on measurements, not on interpretation.
-
Reading the brain map
I analyse the qEEG results and explain which patterns show up and how they connect to what you feel day to day.
-
The intervention plan
I build the plan on the data and on the needs identified in our conversation, not on a standard protocol.
-
Running the protocols
I follow how the neuroregulation protocols are applied and adjust along the way, depending on what the reassessment shows.
Integrative psychotherapy
Training in integrative psychotherapy gives me the tools for the part a standard medical consultation only touches in passing: what happened, how you carried it, and what settled on top of that.
-
Not one single school
Integrative means the tools are chosen to fit the person, not the other way round.
-
Next to the medical side
The advantage is that the conversation and the clinical examination sit in the same room, with the same person.
-
With a clearly stated goal
From the start we agree where we want to get to and by which signs we will know we are there.
Couples therapy
The session lasts one hour and takes place with both partners present. We look at the communication patterns that set off the conflicts, at what each of you needs, and at how that need can be said without wounding.
-
Both of you, in the same hour
The session is not held with just one of you, nor in turns. Both of you are in the room, for one hour.
-
The therapy does not take anyone's side
Nobody comes in to decide who was wrong. It does ask openness from both of you, otherwise the hour passes for nothing.
-
The first sessions can be harder
As sensitive subjects come to the surface, the meetings become emotionally harder. How many are needed becomes clear along the way, and we set the pace together.
Sexology
Sexology covers questions about desire, intimacy and the couple relationship, subjects many people put off for years because they do not know who to ask. The conversation is medical, adult and free of judgement.
-
You can ask
Nothing is ridiculous and nothing is something I have not heard before. The first consultation is largely a conversation.
-
Looking for the cause, not just the symptom
Often what sits behind it is sleep, stress, a treatment you are on, or a hard stretch in the relationship.
-
Confidential
What is discussed stays between us, as in any medical consultation.
General medicine
Every other area rests on the core training: General Medicine and over 20 years of practice. That is also why, when a situation calls for investigation or conventional treatment, I recognise it and say so.
-
History first
The consultation starts with your full history, not with the last two weeks.
-
A referral when needed
If what you describe needs a specialist or investigations, I send you there. Without delay.
-
Medical ethics
I hold formal qualifications in medical ethics and treat them as part of the job, not as a formality.
Not sure which approach fits you?
Call and tell me briefly what brings you. If your situation calls for something other than what I do, I will say so in the first conversation.
