Online Trauma Counselling in Bedford

It is. The Rewind Technique does not rely on you narrating what happened, and the details can stay entirely with you. What is needed is enough to know what we are working with, not a description of it. Saying more later remains your choice rather than a condition.

Because it is one of very few local markers of severe distress that anyone actually measures. The 2023/24 rate sits below the England average of 117 per 100,000. It does not describe trauma directly and it certainly does not describe you, but it does show this is not rare.

It is the place to start. In England you refer yourself, and the assessment covers trauma symptoms alongside anxiety and low mood, then points onward where something more specialised is called for. Working privately at the same time is allowed, and often sensible given how waits move.

No one honest gives a session count in advance, because it depends on what is there. The Rewind Technique is frequently quicker than people expect, and the preparation before it takes longer than the technique itself. An hour is £80, ninety minutes £100, two hours £120, consultation free.

Yes, and it is a clear example of how avoidance spreads outwards. We steady the physical response first, then work with the memory itself, and only after that look at the platform in graded steps you agree beforehand. Nothing gets tested in the real world before you are ready.

Yes. I work entirely online from Hove, by secure video or phone, so you take part from your own familiar space. That often feels steadier than an unfamiliar room, and we go gently, at your pace, with each session settled before we finish.

We can begin at a pace that feels safe rather than rushed. I work online from Hove with people across Bedford and the wider Bedfordshire area, so there is no clinic queue. A free 15-minute consultation comes first, then we agree a start that suits you.

The NHS offers trauma-focused therapy through your GP, though referral routes and waits vary. My private sessions are £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 and £120 for 120, with a free 15-minute consultation, so you can begin without waiting on a referral.

Online lets you stay in a private space you trust, which many find steadying with difficult events, and there is no travel or waiting room. Longer 90 or 120-minute sessions and evening times give the work room to move at a safe, unhurried pace.
