Therapeutic consultation spaces now available
I am currently offering a structured, 12-session therapeutic consultation process for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, burnt out, or unsure what kind of support they need in order to move forward.
Therapeutic Consultations are designed for people who know that something needs to change, but do not know where to begin.
You may have a sense that your difficulties are interconnected rather than neatly separate, but not yet have a clear picture of how. You may understand individual parts of what is happening, while still struggling to see how your history, nervous system, relationships, environment, coping strategies and current pressures all fit together. It can feel overwhelming trying to work out which angle to approach things from.
The aim is not to “fix everything” in twelve sessions. It is to help you develop a clearer and more coherent understanding of your story: how you arrived here, how particular patterns are showing up in everyday life, and what recovery, healing or growth might realistically and uniquely look like for you.
The process moves through four broad stages:
History and context
Building a detailed picture of your experiences, attachment history, significant relationships and current situation.
Formulation and pattern recognition
Drawing together recurring themes and patterns in your interpersonal experiences, coping strategies and ways of relating, to help you make sense of your own story.
Nervous-system and resource mapping
Exploring environmental and systemic triggers, including early warning signs of dysregulation, masking or shutdown, alongside the activities, people, places and conditions that help you feel more supported and able to function.
Integration and mobilisation
Processing what this new understanding means for you, then testing and refining our ideas as we develop a realistic map of next steps. This may include further directed self-help, counselling or psychotherapy, or support to access other relevant services.
A Therapeutic Consultation is a self-contained piece of therapeutic work in its own right. It is not about climbing every mountain in twelve weeks. It is about understanding the terrain, how you arrived here, and what you may need in order to move forward.
A small number of consultation spaces are now available.
