Online Trauma Counselling in Wakefield

No, at no stage. The Rewind Technique exists partly because so many people cannot bear to describe things, and it works without an account. Everything else focuses on the present-day effects. You decide what is said, and changing your mind is allowed.

Yes, and a long gap does not reduce the chances. Recurring dreams are one of the clearest signs a memory is still unprocessed rather than simply old. Work of this kind often settles the nights first, which tends to make everything else more manageable.

The 15-minute consultation we begin with is free. Sessions cost £80 / 60 min, with £100 / 90 min often chosen for trauma so nothing is rushed at the close, and £120 / 120 min if you want it. Length varies genuinely, and we review rather than predict.

You can refer yourself through the NHS Talking Therapies finder without a GP appointment, and they will assess what you describe. For some kinds of trauma they will pass you to a different NHS team. Doing that while also working privately is entirely reasonable.

Not without your say-so. Not thinking about something is a real strategy and it has often kept people going for decades; the aim is to give you a better one, not to strip it away first. Nothing is opened until there is somewhere steady to put it.

No. Effective trauma work isn't about forcing yourself back through it all. Much of it is building a sense of safety and control in the present first. We approach memories gradually, only as far and as fast as feels manageable for you.

We begin with a free 15-minute consultation, usually within a week, then a first video session at a careful pace. Working from Hove across the Wakefield district means no waiting list and no drive into the city when you're feeling vulnerable; the session comes to you.

You can; Pinderfields 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'd start sooner and choose the pace.

For many people, yes. Being in your own space in Wakefield, 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.
