    Posted on

    ITV therapists the Speakmans have announced that they will be undertaking a live tour. If you were searching for the Speakmans appointment diary then this could be it. It will be interesting to find out what the show entails.

    Here's what the press release says about the tour.... The Speakmans tickets

    Everyone Deserves To Be Happy….

    Join the world's leading, inspiring, life change therapists, Nik and Eva Speakman, as they share their techniques to allow you to make positive changes in your life.

    For the first time in a live theatre environment, The Speakmans will simply explain the causes of negative thinking, internal conflicts and address a series of life’s challenges live on stage. Topics covered will range from how to overcome anxiety, phobias, confidence and generally being happy.  The Speakmans want to revolutionise the way you think and show you how to change your life for the better.

    Your time to change starts here.

     

    It's interesting to see that they are selling a VIP Package! I'm not sure whether special seats and a chance to have your photo taken is what most people who would be interested in seeing them would actually be looking for, but if that is what you want then you can buy the following opportunity..

    VIP Package with Nik & Eva Speakman 

    - Early access to venue
    - Gold Circle seats
    - Meet and greet with Nik and Eva Speakman in a room where a pre show drink is provided and a managed Official Photo opportunity. 

    It's interesting to ponder how well something like this will go down with their audiences. It would appear from social media that when they appear with Phil and Holly on This Morning on ITV many people want to ask for help but do not know where to go to get that.

    I was surprised that the show starts at 8.00pm. Bearing in mind that most of the people who want to see them could well be suffering from anxiety it seems a little late for people to even be starting watching something. I was also a little amazed to see that the top ticket price is £112.37. You can get tickets from £51.08 in the gold circle in Birmingham and so many people could end up spending as much as actually having a therapy session with a trained and qualified therapist which may well be a better option.

    If you are looking for help with a problem of your own you can read all about the different types of therapy that you may come across and perhaps decide which sounds right for you here:  http://www.markpowlett.co.uk/cbtandcounsellingvshypnotherapy.html

    It is always good to make sure that whoever you choose to turn to for help when you need it is trained in the appropriate techniques and also a member of any relevant professional bodies. You are probably already aware that the Speakmans have not undertaken any formal training and are not members of any governing body, and this may affect your decision on who to work with when picking a therapist.

    The campaign to promote the tour is set to continue after Christmas. Boxing day television adverts for the Speakmans live show are now airing on ITV. Those on the Speakmans mailing list have already been sent an email about booking tickets for the Speakmans show... 

     

    "Nik & Eva Speakman are set to embark on a five-night theatre tour in Spring 2016.  As you have previously enquired, we would like to give you prior notice before the TV advertisements start on Boxing Day in order that you don’t miss out on this opportunity.

    The Speakmans will swap the studio for the stage to share their positive change techniques, with a live audience, revolutionising the way we think and changing our lives for the better.  They will explain the causes of negative thinking, internal conflicts and address a series of life’s challenges live on stage. Topics will range from how to overcome anxiety, phobias, gain confidence and generally being happy, PLUS Nik and Eva will be poised to answer any audience questions."

     

    How to pick a Therapist to Help You Today

    The most important thing is to pick the right person for you. Someone who you feel will be the right fit is the best choice you can make. A group session isn't something that everyone can benefit from. For instance, if you are suffering from social phobia and anxiety, then the thought of having to attend a group meeting with a crowd of people may be the last thing that you want to do.

  2. New Therapy App Babylon - is it a good idea?

    Posted on

    What's the New Therapy App Babylon - is it a good idea?

     

    A new app has appeared for mobile phone and tablet users who would like some help with therapy, without having to even leave the house.

    Described as digital counselling service designed so people can take part in phone or video consultations while on the go, or from the comfort of their own home. 

    Patients can book appointments with trained therapists to help with mental health problems ranging from stress and depression to phobias, bereavement and eating disorders with just a few simple clicks. But is it a good idea and how do you know about the therapist you are getting?


     What does Babylon Therapy Cost?

    At the moment the charges are £49 per session. This may represent good value for money as it is a lot cheaper than many therapists, but you may want to ask yourself why. Clearly the makers of the app will take a cut of the money you pay and then the therapist will get what is left. I suppose this may make you wonder why they are working for less money than they could earn. It’s hard to imagine a therapist who was already seeing a good amount of clients would want to register, so perhaps the people who are helping you are not very busy for some reason.

    The most important thing about your therapist

    It is widely considered that the best way to success with your therapist is to make sure that you work with the best person for you. Not everyone will be right for you. If you are searching yourself and picking the right person for you then that must be better than just booking an appointment on an app without even knowing who you will be working with?

    Wouldn’t you rather be able to read all about the person you may see so you know about them? I know I would feel more comfortable that way.

    The good idea

    It is of course a great idea to be able to have therapy via an app. What you don’t really need is a dedicated app for it though. Like many other therapists I have been offering therapy sessions via Skype for many years and they work really well. You don’t need a dedicated app just a way to communicate and of course Skype provides this.

    The benefits are great. If you are suffering from anxiety and even panic attacks then the thought of having to even leave the house can be too much to bear so working in the comfort of your own home is a great bonus. There is so much less stress for you right away. You can work on fears and phobias online just as well as in person.
