Networking and Psychotherapy
Networking and Psychotherapy and not
necessarily two words that are generally connected yet psychotherapists do need to
network and business people often need psychotherapy at some point in their
lives. How to blend the two so that a psychotherapist can effectively advertise
their wares and fellow networkers can comfortably refer clients or
contacts can be difficult but our member psychotherapist has found a way.
It's a challenge especially here in
Ireland as so many who attend therapy do so without anyone knowing so referring
on and indeed receiving referrals can be a challenge in itself. But if it is
something that you are considering then our member Ejiro from Thrutalk can
help.
Her presentation on psychotherapy and
what it entails provided our network with clear and concise information around
what someone can expect and how the process can benefit the client.

ThruTalk :
Counselling with Ejiro
ThruTalk offers professional counselling and psychotherapy
services to the Irish community. In this article I will give a brief synopsis
of what I do and the services I provide.
What I do
I work with any persons (Adults) needing emotional support
during particularly challenging times in their lives.
The three aspects of a therapeutic relationship include The Client,
The Process and The Therapist.
The Client
The client refers to a person seeking counselling and
psychotherapy. My perception of what the problem is can be viewed in the light
of alignment.
 |  |  |
(a) (b) (c)
Alignment refers to a match between the life we live expressed
through the choices we make, and our true selves.
- (a) The double circles signify the degree of our alignment. The more aligned we are the happier and functional our lives tend to be. Misalignment in this scenario is minimal, this could be the case with young children and people with heightened awareness. There is little room for stress or dysfunction.
- (b) Most people live lives that are to various degrees misaligned. This could be as a result of our conditioning, societal expectations, jobs, careers, businesses, relationships, events etc. The problem is not necessarily in the misalignment but in our ability to manage the discomfort that comes with it. There is plenty of room for distress and dysfunction in this scenario. Awareness and understanding helps us adapt for healthier functional lives.
- (c) This is a situation where our choices have created an environment that continuously keeps us completely out of sync with who we truly are. This cannot be sustained for extended periods without developing severely dysfunction lives.
The Process
Therapy to a large extent is helping people find alignment.
The various strategies and techniques address the problem from different
angles. Such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) via the thinking process, Emotion
Focused Therapy (EFT) via the emotions, others include Behavioural Therapy, Gestalt,
Person Centred Therapy and many more.
Me, The
Therapist
I believe that the person I am is the most significant aspect
of being a therapist. All my skills and techniques would amount to very little
if I am not in alignment myself.
So, my number one priority each day is to tend to my
alignment. Feeling good within is the main signal that all is well and at times
this has nothing to do with having fun or pleasure. It is about being, and
being true. Sometimes this takes courage.
I meet all the requirements to practice as a therapist in
Ireland. While working towards accreditation with the Irish Association for
Counsellors and Psychotherapists (IACP), I volunteer with the Living Life
Counselling centre Bray and I am also a member of the IACP Workshop Committee,
Dublin.
Why Should
You Refer a Client To Me?
All clients are cared for and the number one priority in
therapy is their alignment. I am warm, passionate and well grounded through age
and experience. My perception and inexplicable insight are my strengths that
give my work the flavour that clients appreciate.
It is simply exhilarating to help clients clear the emotional
fog and allow life flow freely again.
