How we can help

Three areas of work

You do not have to have it all figured out before you reach out

Most people who contact us know something is not right, even if they cannot quite put it into words yet. That is completely fine. Have a look at the areas, or just get in touch and tell us what is going on.

Trauma therapy
at our core

What happened to you was not your fault.

Trauma leaves its mark in the body as much as the mind: the jumpiness, the numbness, the nights that will not settle. Talking about it is not the same as processing it, which is why we use approaches built for trauma, EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, IFS and Schema Therapy, rather than hoping ordinary conversation will reach it.

We go at your pace. Safety and steadiness come first, the processing comes when you are ready, and nobody will ask you to relive everything in the first hour. Where the trauma is relational, rooted in early attachment, we work at that level too. Many people who come to us have tried therapy before and found it helped but did not quite get there. This is the work that gets there.

How we work with trauma

Assessments

Report and recommendations included

Answers, not just labels

If you have been wondering whether you might have ADHD or are autistic, or if you need a clear picture of how your brain works after an injury or illness, a thorough assessment can change everything. We also prepare medico-legal reports and neuropsychological evaluations. Every assessment comes with a detailed report and practical recommendations you can actually use.
