What actually happens in a session
- 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
Map what's actually happening
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath.
- 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.

What clients ask before booking
Can I bring a support person to a first session?+
For clients in Little Eaton (DE21) specifically: Yes, if it would help you settle. We can discuss it in the intro call.
Do you work with childhood trauma?+
Yes. Adults reprocessing childhood events is a substantial part of the caseload.
Is it possible to fully resolve a trauma?+
For many single-incident traumas, yes. Complex trauma is usually about reducing intensity and giving you back choice, rather than 'erasing' anything.
How long does trauma work usually take?+
It varies. A single-incident trauma may resolve in 6–10 sessions; complex or developmental trauma takes longer and always starts with stabilisation.
Will you refer me on if you're not the right fit?+
Always. Fit matters more than any single technique.
