Online Trauma Counselling in Wigan

No. The rewind method is used because it works without a spoken account, so the memory can be processed while the details remain yours. What gets said, and how much of it, stays with you throughout. A short outline is normally all that is needed for the work to move.

It is not. Old material is not fixed, and a nervous system that learned to brace decades ago can still learn something else. Long-standing histories go more slowly, with more time spent on steadiness first, but the passage of years does not close the door.

They assess and direct people towards trauma-focused help, and self-referral means you can approach them without a GP appointment first. Where sleep or safety is significantly affected, involving your GP alongside them is a sensible extra step rather than a duplication of effort.

Then this arrangement suits you, because you will not see the counsellor in the street, at the ground or at the school gates. There is no local overlap of any kind. What happens in a session stays within it and does not follow you around the town.

Usually by what your body does. A bad memory is unpleasant to recall; unresolved trauma tends to arrive uninvited, through sleep, startle, avoidance or a reaction that outruns the situation. If that description fits, it is worth raising in the free 15-minute consultation.

It's very private. We meet by a secure, confidential video link, and no one need know you're attending. Being able to speak from a quiet room at home, at a time you choose, often makes reaching out feel far more possible where discretion matters.

Trauma work needs to move at your pace, so we open with a free 15-minute consultation to see if we fit, then agree a regular time. I work online with people throughout Wigan, from Ince to Standish, which means no NHS waiting list stands between you and starting.

For trauma counselling my fees are £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 minutes and £120 for 120 minutes, and the first 15-minute call is free. In Wigan the NHS can offer trauma support through your GP or Talking Therapies, though waits vary; privately we can begin sooner.

For Wigan, trauma sessions are held online rather than at my Hove room, and many people find it steadying to do this difficult work from a safe, familiar space in Ince or Pemberton. I offer daytime and some evening times, and we always go at a pace that feels manageable.
