Is this the same as meditation? There is no doubt that visualisation techniques can help you relax, but they do not assist you in learning mindfulness.

Mindfulness meditation is different. It assists people in learning to not become involved in their thoughts and teaches people how to control them. How does telephone counselling work? This is detailed on our Counselling pages and these include a number of options for you to choose from. Can you tell me more about cognitive behavioural therapy? The article on our website, CBT, discusses this therapy. Where can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist? Visit our International referral pages on our website What can I do to help my child with their anxiety? We have an article on Childhood Anxiety in our Article section that you may wish to read.
