How we work
Thriving emotional health is our goal for you: Our evidence-based approach combines neuroscience and psychology.
We are growth focused
Working together, we apply a whole-person approach to clients’ needs and goals. We offer a safe space where our coaches empower clients to address a range of needs.
We are growth-focused, not oriented around a single goal, or desire to simply alleviate your symptoms, we’ll explore the root cause of things that might be holding you back. It’s from this basis that you’ll learn to apply Rewire tools that help you with thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. This is how, together, we can help you realise lasting change.
We are neuro-science based
Perhaps you feel that your emotional health is out of your control, or that your emotions are running the show: it does not have to be this way. Neuroscience, neurochemical balance, and neuroplasticity are the evidence-based scientific concepts that underpin our process.
-
Neuroscience helps you understand what’s happening in your brain and body
-
Neuro-chemical balance can be realised as you recognise and process emotions
-
Neuro-plasticity enables you to literally rewire your neural connections towards healthier patterns of thinking
These combined approaches are proven to create the opportunity for real and lasting change. By helping you understand the whole picture, we’ll shine a light on how thoughts and emotions in your internal world relate to your reactions and behaviours.
The result? You’ll feel more at ease with yourself and the world around you. You’ll be empowered to make free and autonomous choices, without the constraint of others or your own expectations.
Rewire Coaching explained
At Rewire, we balance a responsive approach to client needs with expert knowledge in identifying key transdiagnostic processes which affect wellbeing.
Transdiagnostic processes are issues that are not specific to a particular condition such as depression, anxiety, stress, or OCD. They can be present across any condition and contribute to or exacerbate the symptoms of that condition.
We see a range of transdiagnostic processes as we work with clients. Identifying and addressing these factors can significantly reduce the symptoms of any mental health condition and help to deal with the root cause.
Examples of Transdiagnostic Issues include:
-
Self-criticism, guilt and shame (Schanche 2013)
-
Addiction (Wolitzky-Taylor et al 2016)
-
Biased attention (often associated with perfectionism)
-
Expectancy reasoning (fear-based thinking: what if…?)
-
Avoidence
-
Co-dependency (Harvey et al 2004)
-
Ruminative/obsessional thinking (Baer 2007)
-
Anger and resentment (Shadur & Lejuez 2015)
-
Safety behaviour driven by fear
Utilising a strong therapeutic relationship and a range of psychological approaches, we offer a safe space that empowers clients to address their needs.
Our coaches prioritise acceptance, empathy and respect within the therapeutic relationship. This coupled with connection, compassion and challenge enables the client and coach to collaborate to find solutions to problems or find acceptance, where there are no solutions.
We listen - really listen - to your experience. We listen for root causes of pain, stress and confusion. We work together to increase your understanding of what’s happening in your thoughts and feelings, so that you can decide what you can do next.
What is neuroscience?
Neuroscience, also known as neural science, is the study of how the nervous system develops, its structure, and what it does. Through continuing professional development we research and utilise the latest evidence from neuroscience to underpin our work.
One of the key ways we do this is by using the brain's neuroplastic nature. Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to change in response to repeated mental activity. Neurons that fire together wire together, in other words, the brain forms and reorganizes synaptic connections in response to new ways of thinking and new learning.
Our coaches will introduce you to a range of tools and techniques that help change the mental activity in the brain thus rewiring towards healthier patterns of thinking.
Science confirms that our thinking affects our emotions, which in turn impacts our reactions and behaviours. Enhancing our experiences in life often begins with altering our thinking and perceptions. This, coupled with neuroplasticity offers us real hope for lasting change.
