The approach here is integrative: secure video sessions, online hypnotherapy, online EMDR (where appropriate), delivered inside a clear structure. It's not open-ended talking therapy — sessions are focused, and change is expected inside a sensible window.
What actually happens in a session
- Step 1
Address the driver
Using secure video sessions and, where useful, online hypnotherapy, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on.
- Step 2
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.
- Step 3
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
