This is individual, structured support for adults who are no longer in immediate crisis but are still experiencing the effects of prolonged stress, relational harm or significant disruption.
The work focuses on rebuilding internal stability, nervous system regulation, emotional capacity, boundaries and self-trust in the present; without requiring you to repeatedly revisit or retell traumatic experiences.
Sessions are non-clinical, collaborative and paced according to your current capacity.
What this support involves
1:1 support offers a structured space to:
• understand patterns such as hypervigilance, shutdown, freeze or overwhelm;• recognise what your nervous system is responding to in the present;• build greater capacity for regulation without forcing change;• strengthen boundaries and internal reference points;• develop clearer decision-making and greater self-trust;• practise applying new responses in everyday situations rather than leaving insight inside the session.
Sessions are paced and responsive. Progress is not forced to meet an external timeline; the work develops in accordance with your current capacity and what can be integrated safely and sustainably.
How the work may develop
Although each person’s needs are different, the work commonly includes four overlapping areas:
1. Stability and pacing
Establishing enough steadiness and capacity to work without overwhelming the system.
2. Understanding
Developing a clearer understanding of current nervous system responses, patterns and triggers.
3. Integration
Practising responses that increase regulation, flexibility, boundaries and internal consistency.
4. Everyday application
Bringing what is developing in sessions into relationships, decisions and daily life.
These areas are not fixed stages and may overlap throughout the work.
What this work is
- collaborative and structured;
- evidence-informed and grounded in psychology, neuroscience, trauma education and embodied practice;
- focused primarily on present-day regulation, integration and self-leadership;
- paced according to individual capacity;
- designed to support practical change in everyday life.
What this work is not
• psychotherapy, diagnosis or crisis intervention;• trauma exposure or compulsory narrative processing;• advice-giving, rescuing or forcing change;• a promise of rapid transformation.
You are not required to retell traumatic experiences or revisit past events in detail in order to participate in this work.
This work may be appropriate if:
• the immediate crisis has passed, but you still do not feel fully settled or safe;• your life may appear stable externally while your body continues to respond as though danger is present;• you experience persistent hypervigilance, shutdown, emotional overwhelm or difficulty relaxing;• you are rebuilding after prolonged stress, emotional abuse or coercive relationship dynamics;• you find it difficult to trust your own judgement or maintain boundaries;• you want to develop greater steadiness, agency and self-trust over time;• you value a structured, paced and non-pathologising approach.
When this may not be appropriate
This work is not appropriate for immediate crisis, active danger or situations requiring urgent clinical, psychiatric or emergency support. In those circumstances, specialist or emergency care should take priority.
Working together
Sessions are usually held regularly, with frequency agreed together following orientation.
The pace of the work is responsive rather than fixed. There is no predetermined number of sessions and no expectation that change should follow a particular timeline.
Progress is reviewed collaboratively so that the work remains useful, appropriate and aligned with your current needs.
Session Fee
1:1 sessions are £115 for 60 minutes.
Sessions are typically booked on a regular basis, with frequency agreed following the initial orientation conversation.
Next step
If you are considering 1:1 support, the first step is a free orientation conversation.
This gives us an opportunity to discuss what you are currently navigating, what you are looking for from support and whether this approach is appropriate for your needs at this stage.
There is no obligation to continue after the conversation.
