FAQs

What kind of support do you offer?

I offer non-clinical, trauma-informed nervous system integration support.

This work is for people who are no longer in immediate crisis, but whose body continues to respond as if danger is still present. The focus is on restoring regulation, safety, and self-trust rather than fixing, analysing, or pushing change.

Is this therapy?

No.

This work is not therapy, counselling, or a substitute for clinical care. I do not diagnose, treat mental health conditions, or provide crisis intervention.

Many people work with me alongside therapy or after therapy has ended. Others come because they are not seeking a clinical model.

Who is this work for?

This work may be appropriate if:

• You are no longer in immediate danger or crisis
• Your life appears stable, but your nervous system remains in survival mode
• You experience hypervigilance, shutdown, chronic tension, or emotional overwhelm
• You want support that respects pace, consent, and autonomy

It is especially relevant for people recovering from emotionally abusive or coercive relationships.

Who is this work not for?

This work is not appropriate if:

• You are currently in an unsafe or abusive situation
• You need urgent mental health or crisis support
• You are looking for fast transformation, catharsis, or mindset coaching
• You want someone to tell you what to do or push you through discomfort

If you are unsure, we can talk through this during an initial conversation.

Do you work with people who have experienced domestic violence?

Yes.

I work with people who have experienced emotional, psychological, and domestic abuse, including coercive control. Safety, consent, and dignity are central to how this work is offered.

If you are currently in danger, this is not the right support and I will prioritise helping you find appropriate resources.

What does a session look like?

Sessions are paced with your nervous system.

They may include:

• nervous system education
• body-based awareness
• regulation practices
• reflection and integration

There is no forcing, no re-telling of trauma, and no pressure to access memories or emotions.

Will I have to talk about my trauma?

No.

You are never required to share details of your experiences. This work does not rely on disclosure or reliving past events. We focus on present-moment signals and what your system needs now.

How long does this work take?

Every person’s nervous system recovers at its own pace. Some people work together for a few months, while others choose longer-term support. The aim isn’t to reach a finish line quickly, but to build lasting regulation, safety and self-trust.

What if I’m not sure this is the right support for me?

That’s completely okay. The free consultation is simply a chance to explore where you are, what you’re looking for, and whether this work feels like a good fit. There is no pressure to continue.

What happens in the free consultation?

The consultation is a relaxed conversation where we discuss what you’re looking for, answer any questions you have, and explore whether working together feels appropriate. It is not therapy and there is no obligation to book sessions.

How often do sessions take place?

Sessions are usually held weekly or fortnightly, depending on your capacity, needs and circumstances. The pace is discussed together and can change over time.

What if I need immediate help?

If you are in immediate danger or feel unsafe, please contact emergency services in your country or a trusted crisis support line.

This work is designed for post-crisis support and is not suitable for urgent situations.

How much does a session cost?

Individual sessions are £115 for 60 minutes. We’ll discuss whether this feels like the right level of support during your consultation.

Do I need to prepare for a session?

No. You don’t need to prepare anything or know what to say. We begin with where you are today and work at a pace that feels manageable.

Is everything confidential?

Yes. Sessions are confidential except where there is a legal or ethical duty to act if there is a serious risk of harm. Full details are available in the Scope of Practice.
