Life in High Wycombe
Why people in High Wycombe get in touch
Trauma travels well, and it does not need to have happened here. Wycombe is a town many families arrived in across several generations, and some of what people carry began a long way away, in another country or another decade, and has never been given a name. Others are dealing with something recent: a crash on the way home, an assault, a frightening admission to Wycombe Hospital. The aftermath is much the same either way. Sleep breaks up, the body stays ready for something, and reminders arrive uninvited. Emergency hospital admissions for self-harm stood at 113.9 per 100,000 in 2023/24, under the England average of 117 per 100,000.

What does trauma counselling involve?
Trauma counselling here is gentle and led by you, drawing on methods designed for trauma including the Human Givens Rewind Technique, so a difficult memory is returned to ordinary recall.
What actually happens in the room is the same everywhere, so it is written up once: see trauma counselling in detail for the methods, how I work, sessions and fees for fees and session lengths, and my credentials and registration if you want to check who you would be working with.
What happens in an online session?
Sessions run over a secure, encrypted video link, held to the same BACP confidentiality as meeting in person. After a free fifteen-minute call, you join from any private space on a phone, tablet or laptop.
Trauma appointments for people in High Wycombe are held online by secure video. It means you are somewhere your body already accepts, with the door and the lighting as you want them, and the session ends where you already are. There is no strange building, no corridor, and no drive home while everything is still moving. If the only genuinely private place available is the car, that works.

Trauma Counselling in High Wycombe
Why people in High Wycombe come for trauma counselling
The reason this gets left so long is nearly always identical: people assume they will be asked to go back into the worst of it and describe it. That is not required at any stage. The work is paced and client-led, and the story remains yours to keep. Where it is appropriate, the Human Givens Rewind Technique can be used, and it is carried out without retelling the event, with you relaxed, awake and able to stop whenever you choose. Before that, the work is about making certain you can settle yourself dependably, and that stage sets its own length rather than following a schedule. NHS Buckinghamshire Talking Therapies accepts self-referrals and can advise on trauma-focused NHS options, and Buckinghamshire Mind runs a Safe Haven in High Wycombe for the hours when you need somewhere to be.

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In High Wycombe, you can refer yourself directly to NHS Buckinghamshire Talking Therapies for free NHS talking therapy, with no GP referral needed.
Private sessions with me usually mean you can start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout; I am glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.

If you need urgent help now
This is not a crisis service. If anyone is in immediate danger call 999. For urgent mental health support, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option. The Samaritans are free, day or night, on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.
High Wycombe questions
Online Trauma Counselling in High Wycombe: common questions
Will you ask me questions about what happened?
Only ones you want to answer. You set what gets discussed, and the Rewind Technique needs no account of the event whatsoever. There is no interview to sit through, no history form to complete, and nobody pushing you towards detail you would rather not give.
How much does this cost, and how many sessions are typical?
An hour is £80 / 60 min, and some people choose £100 / 90 min or £120 / 120 min for the extra room. Numbers vary, though trauma work is frequently shorter than expected. The free 15-minute conversation is the right place to ask what is likely for you.
Can NHS Buckinghamshire Talking Therapies help with trauma?
They accept self-referrals without a GP appointment and can advise on trauma-focused options inside the NHS, though waits differ. If tonight is difficult, your GP is faster and Samaritans answer at any hour. The Safe Haven in High Wycombe covers evenings locally.
What I carry happened before my family came to this country. Can counselling still reach it?
Yes. Distance in time and place does not stop a body holding onto a memory, and it is common for something from years ago and far away to still be shaping sleep now. What you explain, and how much, is yours to decide throughout.
Does it matter that I have never had counselling before?
Not at all, and most people arriving for this have not. Nothing needs preparing and there is no correct way to begin. The free 15-minute call exists so you can hear how it works and then decide, without committing yourself to anything further.
I've carried something difficult for years and just got on with it. Can trauma counselling help now?
Yes. Carrying something quietly for a long time is very common, and it is never too late to work through it. Sessions are private and online from home, and we build safety first, approaching difficult memories gently and only at a pace that feels right.
How soon can I start trauma counselling online in High Wycombe?
Often within a week of a free consultation. Bradley works online with High Wycombe clients, so there is no clinic to reach across town. Trauma work from your own private space, in Hazlemere or Downley, can feel steadier and safer.
What do trauma sessions cost, and can the NHS help in High Wycombe?
Trauma work is £80 for sixty minutes, £100 for ninety and £120 for two hours, with longer sessions often suiting it. NHS Buckinghamshire Talking Therapies is free but frequently oversubscribed, so many begin privately to be seen sooner.
Is online trauma counselling as effective as in person in High Wycombe, and are evenings available?
Many High Wycombe clients find online trauma work just as containing, with familiar surroundings to steady them afterwards. Bradley offers some evening slots around the commuter day, and the Hove room is reachable by train if meeting in person would help.
