Online Trauma Counselling in Doncaster

Never. The Rewind Technique exists partly so that people do not have to, and I will not ask for detail you have not volunteered. Some people work through it having said very little about the event itself. The focus is on what your body and your days are doing now.

It is a calm, structured process for taking the charge out of a stored memory while you remain relaxed and in control the whole way through. The memory stays with you; the alarm bolted onto it settles. It is often finished in a small number of sessions rather than continuing indefinitely.

It makes avoidance harder to manage, which is exactly what we work on. Passing the same street or building in Wheatley or Hexthorpe keeps the alarm topped up. Once the charge on the memory settles, those places usually stop landing the same way, and we approach them at a pace you set.

Fees are £80 / 60 min, £100 / 90 min and £120 / 120 min, with a free 15-minute consultation first. Rewind work often uses a 90-minute session so nothing is rushed. I will not guess at a total number of sessions before meeting you, but this is frequently shorter than people fear.

For the anxiety and depression that usually travel with it, NHS Talking Therapies takes self-referrals via the national finder, since Doncaster has no separately branded team. Doncaster Mind supports people locally. If you feel unsafe rather than distressed, contact a GP or NHS 111 that day.

That's a common and reasonable fear. We go carefully, and you stay in control of the pace, nothing is forced. Much of trauma work is first building tools to feel steady, so that when we do approach memories, you're resourced rather than overwhelmed.

We begin with a free 15-minute consultation, usually within a week, then a first video session at a gentle pace. Working from Hove across Doncaster means no waiting list and no trip into the centre when you're feeling raw; the session comes to you.

You can; Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals and NHS talking therapies are free, though often with a wait. My fees are £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 and £120 for two hours. Longer sessions can suit trauma work, and privately you would start sooner.

For many people, yes. Being in your own space in Doncaster, rather than an unfamiliar room after a long trip, can feel steadier. I work from Hove by secure video, and we can use 90-minute or evening sessions so there's time to settle and close gently.
