How the therapy is structured
- Step 1
Map what's actually happening (Ockbrook)
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath. In DE72 this is often shaped by chronic worry.
- Step 2
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so. Paced around the Ockbrook realities: quiet-lane families and downsizing professionals.
- Step 3
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded. Nothing here assumes a Erewash client has spare evenings.
- Step 4
Address the driver
Using stabilisation-first trauma work and, where useful, EMDR, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on. Nothing here assumes a Erewash client has spare evenings.
