Brainspotting Therapy
What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting Therapy is a groundbreaking approach that offers a compassionate, effective path to healing for those affected by trauma. Rooted in the understanding that "where you look affects how you feel," this innovative therapy delves deep into the subconscious brain and nervous system. It unlocks the areas where trauma has been silently stored, far beyond the reach of traditional talk therapies. At Counselling & Co., we embrace Brainspotting to harness your brain's inherent ability to heal itself, offering a transformative journey toward recovery and self-discovery.
How Brainspotting Therapy Can Help
Brainspotting Therapy is a beacon of hope for individuals grappling with the aftermath of trauma, emotional distress, and psychological blocks. It's uniquely effective in processing and healing emotional wounds, providing relief and recovery faster and deeper than conventional therapies. Brainspotting can assist with a wide range of issues, including:
Anxiety and depression

Substance Use
Emotional and behavioural challenges

By targeting the underlying causes of these conditions, Brainspotting sets the stage for profound and lasting change, empowering you to lead a life defined by joy, creativity, and resilience.
