Near Shining Cliff Woods and the tri-station junction? This page describes the specific way Online therapy is delivered for people who live and work around Ambergate.
The physical clinic is in Derby city centre (DE1). Ambergate sits 10 miles away in the DE56 district, close to Shining Cliff Woods and the tri-station junction, with easy access along the A6 / A610. Online is available to anyone in the UK.

The approach in practice
- Step 1
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.
- 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 secure video sessions and, where useful, online hypnotherapy, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on.
