Uttoxeter is 16 miles from the clinic and close to Uttoxeter Racecourse and the JCB corridor. Nearby areas including Matlock, Nottingham, Burton-on-Trent share the same service radius, and online sessions are available for weeks when travelling in is impractical.
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.
How the work is delivered
- Step 1
Prepare for real life
The final phase rehearses the pattern under normal life stress, so results don't collapse the moment life gets busy.
- Step 2
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
- Step 3
Address the driver
Using secure video sessions and, where useful, online hypnotherapy, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on.
- Step 4
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.
