Counselling Psychotherapy with Eli Cookson

Counselling Psychotherapy with Eli Cookson I offer individual, Couples, Systemic, Grief and Bereavement, Addictions, CFT (Compassion Focused) therapies. I also work as a supervisor. And so much more.

If you have landed here, in this particular page, it is probably because you are seeking help for yourself or for someone you know. Maybe you don't know yet how and in what form this help may come to you or to someone else and therefore a post in this page may resonate with you. Let me tell you what I do. As a counsellor and a psychotherapist, I receive people from all walks of life: they may need

to get rid of a simple bad habit, or understand a reoccuring behaviour, to sort out a marital problem, a relationship issue, or to heal from serious mental illness. Some instead look for affirmation and acceptance or maybe have the desire to get rid of self-criticism.. I feel privileged and honored that someone would accept to come and open up to me, a total stranger. It takes some courage for the person to do so, but inevitably in the midst of those moments, while we sit together, something happens and the total strangers become acquaintances and talking becomes easier. I listen and I try to understand. I pass no judgment, I offer no solution of mine, yet I maintain a positive and unconditional regard. I fully accept who and what people are and I work with them toward the goals they have placed before themselves. If therapy is liberating, then it works! My training spans from Bereavement and Grief, to Couples and Families issues, Trauma and Accidents, Addictions as well as behavioral issues coming from childhood abuse. I deal with suicidal, borderline and narcissist cases. I come alongside divorcees, pre and post divorce couples, I deal with children affected by separations and bullying, I help people affected with serious behavioral issues. And as long as people will entrust themselves in my care, I will continue to serve them at the best of my abilities. Because I have a great passion inside me to help those in need to come a step closer to true personal fulfillment, mental healing and ultimately contentment.

Trauma, complex trauma, fight or flight, anxiety (at night)?

You’re extremely tired, so you go to sleep, but your nervous system is caught in a fight or flight mode, pointing to a threat, and your brain won’t stop soaring over endless loops: you experience anxiety, intrusive thoughts, worm songs, even panic attacks as you’re just about to fall asleep.
You reach out for your phone to scroll but also remember what your therapist or your mum said: avoid screen exposure at least two hours before sleeping or you won’t sleep at all! Damned if you do, damned if you don’t…

When being alone with your thoughts proves to be excruciating, the “screensaver” technique can be beneficial : the screen becomes your brain decoy, the movie or show offers soothing and, if familiar, it sends messages to your body that it’s actually ok to relax.

Try a podcast instead: the audio won’t affect you eyes and your brain will be distracted in a healthier manner.

Members of our Research team, Prof Paul Gilbert OBE, Jaskaran Basran, Ptarmigan Plowright and Kelly Morter, have contributed 4 chapters to a new handbook on assessment in Mindfulness Research.

The book offers a comprehensive overview of various methods used to measure mindfulness, including behavioural, cognitive and psychophysiological measures and explores the development and validation of these measures, including statistical methods used to indicate reliability and validity.

The team’s contributions are:
▶️Chapter 3: An Evolutionary and Biopsychosocial Conceptualization of Compassion and It's Cultivation
▶️Chapter 10: The Fears, Blocks and Resistances to Compassion
▶️Chapter 51: Compassionate Engagement and Action Scales (CEAS)
▶️Chapter 62: Fears and Resistances to Mindfulness Scale

Chapter 3 provides a conceptual overview of compassion from the CFT perspective and how we came to measure it. The others focus on specific self-report measures developed by the research team and international colleagues, as well as their applications and translations to date.

COMPASSION FATIGUE : It Can Impact Us All

In the medical field, one sector that suffers from compassion fatigue the most is oncology. Dealing with the harsh realities of cancer day in and day out can lead to detachment and apathy in doctors and nurses—two key characteristics of compassion fatigue. My involvement with Cancer Support Group CSG06 exposes me to this reality almost daily.

This article brilliantly addresses the topic and reminds us to pay special attention to the doctors and nurses who tirelessly help patients fight their battles against the disease.

The second part of the article highlights the importance of active listening. The Moffitt Cancer Center, for instance, offers training to help staff improve their listening skills:

“Thirty doctors, nurses, and health professionals have received the training so far and serve as a point of contact for colleagues who might be struggling,” Bickel said. “They can offer their peers an empathetic ear without providing unsolicited advice or commentary.”

I’m proud to say that at Cancer Support Group CSG06, we offer active listening training to all committed volunteers. This enables them to use this skill not only with patients but also with anyone they interact with.

Experts explore what compassion fatigue looks like, and how to identify and ease the often-subtle symptoms.
