Helping you reach your full potential

Practising, performing or just playing for fun, each piece of music can bring new struggles.  Have you ever found that each time you practise you discover another thing you have difficulty with?  Or that one day everything goes brilliantly and on another you feel tense and clumsy. One minute that really difficult phrase you are playing goes like a dream and the next it just falls apart!  Or have you ever found yourself worrying about an exam or a performance? Having sleepless nights or finding that your mind can’t stop reminding you about what might potentially wrong? Have you worried that you may "mess up"?  Perhaps you have had a bad experience that is holding you back?  These problems are not unique to you and are a normal part of being human.  You don’t have to let them hold you back though.

Reaching your full potential is about how to free yourself from physical and emotional tension and struggle so you can unleash your full musical talent.  Most of all its about the joy and exhilaration music can bring to our lives.

How can CBT help?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Contextual CBT work by enabling you to understand how your thoughts and behaviour can cause physical and emotional reactions.  These in turn can effect performance. Sometimes, only in very subtle ways but sometimes the effects can feel devestating, frustrating and out of your control.

 Once you have a good understanding of these principles and how they effect you as an individual the next step is to begin to work out what needs to change and, most importantly, what you might like to do about it. You will be guided through a whole range of strategies, techniques and processes to enable you to work towards reaching your full potential.

Interested?
Why not come on an introductory workshop?  Introductory workshops are an inexpensive way of providing you with a good introduction to how CBT can enhance your performance.  If you then want to learn more you can  attend a more specialised study day or masterclass. You can also have individual 1:1 sessions. 

Day workshops cost from £20.00
1:1 sessions cost £40.00/hour at the cbt clinic
Telephone consultation and visits available too.
