Between Little Eaton and the clinic it's 4 miles of A61. Clients close to The Little Eaton Gangway historic tramway usually find the trip easier than expected; those further out often prefer online.

The approach in practice
- Step 1
Start with regulation (Little Eaton)

- Step 2
Map what's actually happening
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath. Nothing here assumes a Erewash client has spare evenings.
- Step 3
Address the driver
Using neurodivergent-affirming psychotherapy and, where useful, hypnotherapy for regulation, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on. In DE21 this is often shaped by relationship strain.
- Step 4
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so. In DE21 this is often shaped by relationship strain.
