What actually happens in a session
- Step 1
Bridge sessions with tools
You leave with practical tools so between-session weeks are worked, not wasted.
- Step 2
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
- Step 3
Address the driver
Using ADHD-informed psychotherapy and, where useful, hypnotherapy for emotional regulation, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on.
The evidence behind the work
Trust in therapy is earned session by session. It is also underwritten by proper credentials: BACP-registered, CNHC-registered on the PSA-accredited register, and GHSC-accredited for hypnotherapy.
- ✓ Sessions are structured to hold your attention, not lose it.
- ✓ Therapy adjusted to how ADHD brains actually work — not a neurotypical model with tweaks.
