Online Trauma Counselling in Middlesbrough

No. The Rewind Technique is designed precisely so that the memory can be worked with while you keep it to yourself, and nothing else in the approach depends on a detailed account. Some people say a lot eventually, some say very little, and both work.

Avoidance that has lasted years usually responds well, though not quickly. We would work on the body's reaction first, then approach the situation in graded steps that you set. The aim is choice about going near it, not forcing you through it to prove something.

The free 15-minute consultation comes first, with no obligation afterwards. Sessions are £80 / 60 min, and for trauma work some people prefer £100 / 90 min so nothing has to be rushed at the end. A £120 / 120 min session is available if that suits you better.

Impact on Teesside accepts self-referrals and will assess what is appropriate, sometimes passing people on to a different NHS service for particular kinds of trauma. There is no downside to contacting them while we work, and no need for a GP to start it off.

It can, and being at home helps more than it hinders. You keep control of your surroundings, you can look away when you need to, and the settling happens somewhere familiar. We plan the ending of each session so you are not left raw when the screen goes dark.

Yes. Trauma doesn't have an expiry date, and old experiences often keep shaping the present. It's never too late to work on them. We'd move at a pace that feels safe, with no pressure to open more than you're ready to.

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 Middlesbrough means no waiting list and no journey across town when you're feeling raw; the session simply comes to you.

You can; James Cook University Hospital 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 and set the pace.

For many people, yes. Being in your own space in Middlesbrough, rather than an unfamiliar room after a trip across town, 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.
