Practical tools and a mind-body approach.ISABEL ALFONSO
Psychologist and certified Focusing-Oriented Therapist.
My approach is flexible and tailored to the client's needs and preferences. It combines practical cognitive and behavioural strategies with Focusing-Oriented Therapy, an experiential body-based practice, to reach deeper than with traditional approaches alone and generate more profound shifts.
Focusing is an evidence-based practice originating by research by Eugine Gendlin. He discovered that what distinguished clients who improved in therapy from those who did not was that successful clients were regularly checking inside themselves for a whole bodily felt sense of their situation. Gendlin called this Focusing. Focusing-Oriented Therapists promote this skill in clients who do it naturally and can teach it to the others.
