Jaz Henry – Integrative Therapy in Amsterdam

Hi, it's Jazz here. I'm an integrative psychotherapist and so I want to break down a little bit what that exactly means. Integrative psychotherapy is a form of therapy that integrates different approaches to therapy. So in my case, I've been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, which very much looks at the present moment, how we're thinking and feeling given specific situations that come up in our daily life, and how we might recognize patterns and change those if we want to. Um, I've also been trained in psychodynamic therapy, which looks a lot at attachment theory. So how, when we were, when we were growing up, what our attachment was like, what our experiences were like with our, with our parents and, um, with caregivers around us, um, and how that affects us now. So in relationships specifically, how we behave in relationships. Um, and I've been trained in person centered therapy, which is the idea, um, that we're all We all have the capacity for our own growth and actualization and becoming our authentic self with the right kind of exploration. So all that means is in terms of integrative therapy is that when we work together I'm going with you to the places that you want to be going to. So if you're looking to work on anxiety, something right now that's happening right here, right now, we can look at, we can use CBT, we can use cognitive behavioral therapy for that. We can look into that and we can use techniques that will work for you to address that anxiety in the here and now. It might be relationships or friendships that you're thinking about as something you would like to bring in to work on. There again we might look more at attachment, how you feel around others and when you form relationships or friendships. and person-centered all along, I'll be of course there with you to explore these things and give you the space to explore these things within our work together. So that's really all that that integrative is saying. I personally am British Guyanese, I grew up in Luxembourg, and I've lived in many countries and worked in many countries. I feel the need to highlight that when I work, I also work across cultures a lot. I think it's important for me to recognize from my own experience as well the isolation and difficulties that come with being a third culture kid, but also being an expat in many places, in most places I've ever been. So I like to work in a way that recognizes each person and their background to also be as understanding as possible of the differences that we all have and in a way share when it comes to where we've grown up and how we've grown up.

Hi there, I'm Jas, I'm a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist. I just wanted to take some time to break down exactly what that means and what concerns we would be working with together and how we would work with those using Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy. So the word itself comes from a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT. which is the most evidence-based approach to psychotherapy that we know of it's based on the research we know it works and it's combined with hypnotherapy which just means that overall cognitive behavioral hypnotherapy is an approach to hypnotherapy that we know works, where we know that you can achieve the results that you're looking for. It works through a combination of CBT, so looking at the way we think, feel and behave, and hypnotherapy, which unlike what we might see in popular culture around hypnosis has nothing to do with myself as the practitioner having control over you who might be looking to resolve a certain concern it's a process that in which you're completely in control it does use deep relaxation techniques and visualizations to take us into a state of deep relaxation where we're open to suggestions and our subconscious is more prone to accepting positive suggestions which we would work on together depending on what it is you would like to work on we would come up with suggestions positive ones that you would like to see happen in your life and we use this state of deep relaxation to kind of infuse those So again, you're in control of that process. These suggestions are things that you either accept or don't, and that is up to you. It's an incredibly effective approach to hypnotherapy for things like phobias, fears, habits, bad habits, breaking bad habits, breaking negative habits, building confidence, building assertiveness, working on low self-esteem, social anxiety, things like that it's incredibly useful for. And one of my all-time favorites to work with with this approach is insomnia. The combination of deep relaxation techniques and positive suggestions to influence the way we think about our sleep is an incredibly powerful one for overcoming insomnia. So if you have any more questions about cognitive behavioral hypnotherapy, how it works, how it doesn't work, what to expect, what not to expect, you can go ahead and schedule a free chemistry call in the link and I look forward to working with you.

Hi there, I'm Jas and I'm an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. I just want to walk you through a little bit what counselling is, how it works and how we would work together. So integrative just means that I've been trained in different approaches to counselling, which ultimately just means that I tailor the work to you. So counselling is a judgement free space that is dedicated just to you and whatever concerns that you would like to be working on. So the way it works is we would meet, we would decide on what your goals are for counselling. Whatever that might be, counseling, talking counseling is an incredibly effective way of working through many different mental health issues. and concerns including relationships, anxiety, stress. If you're going through grief or trauma, whatever it might be, counseling is a place and a safe place for you to discuss those issues or concerns. We would then see where you would like to get to and then we would work out together how we would like to get there. It's a collaborative approach, it's a collaborative process. You are in the driver's seat and as a trained professional I'm here to accompany you to explore with you. I come from a place of empathy and curiosity. I want to see you get to where you want to be. And I'm there to do that without judging you whatsoever. You can bring whatever is concerning you and we can work together to get you where you'd like to be. So if you have any other questions about counseling, how it works, or any specific questions for me as a practitioner, feel free to schedule a free chemistry call, which is available in the links.
