What clients ask before booking
Do you work with ex-military clients?+
Working with Repton clients, Yes — there is a dedicated EMDR and ex-military page and a substantial ex-forces caseload.
Can PTSD be treated online?+
Often, yes — especially once stabilisation is in place. Complex cases may benefit from in-person sessions.
Will I have to retell the whole event?+
No. Modern trauma protocols reprocess fragments; you do not have to give a narrative account.
Is it possible to feel like myself again?+
For most people, yes — with the right pacing, PTSD is very treatable.
How is PTSD different from ordinary trauma?+
PTSD is a specific pattern of intrusion, avoidance, negative mood and arousal following a traumatic event. Not all trauma becomes PTSD.
The approach in practice
- Step 1
Address the driver
Using stabilisation and grounding and, where useful, EMDR, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on.
- Step 2
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 3
Bridge sessions with tools
You leave with practical tools so between-session weeks are worked, not wasted.
- Step 4
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
