You do not need to know what is wrong before you reach out

You just need to know something is not working the way you want it to. This page walks you through how working together actually happens, from first contact to finishing.

What this is

A focused, time limited course of therapy. Ten sessions over roughly fifteen weeks.

It combines CBT with structured, goal focused work. Therapy first, with clear checkpoints, so you always know where you are in the process rather than wondering how long this goes on for.

What it is not. It is not open ended or exploratory work, and it is not a substitute for crisis care or specialist trauma therapy where that is what is needed. If that is the case, you will be pointed towards the right kind of support instead.

Six pathways

The package is offered for six focus areas, chosen because change in each one can realistically be structured and measured inside a defined timeframe.

Weight management

Behavioural change around eating. Not the treatment of a diagnosed eating disorder.

ADHD

Coping strategies, routines and executive function support that fit the life you actually have.

OCD

A CBT and ERP informed structured intervention with agreed, gradual steps.

Confidence

Built from evidence and practice rather than affirmation and hope.

Performance

Work, academic and sport related anxiety, and the pressure sitting underneath it.

Social anxiety

Understanding the threat response, then testing it in real situations, at your pace.

How it starts

Every client goes through a short assessment before enrolling. Not as a hurdle, but as a way of making sure this is genuinely the right shape of support for you.
