You’re self-aware, you may have had talking therapy before, and yet something still feels stuck.
This is where Brainspotting comes in.
Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-body-relational therapy designed to access the emotional and neurological roots of what keeps you anxious, shut down, overwhelmed, or looping in old patterns.
This isn’t surface-level work. This is deep nervous system-level healing that allows your body and brain to process what words can’t always reach.
" Traumatic events are almost impossible to put into words"
~ Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk
Brainspotting helps you move beyond just coping and insight. It supports deep, transformational processing that can calm your nervous system, unlock held trauma, and create real change in how you feel and function.
Everyone is different, and every Brainspotting session is different, but these are some of the experiences commonly felt by clients:
This is a therapy that works intuitively with your body, not against it.
Brainspotting sessions are spacious, quiet, and deeply focused. You’ll be gently supported to locate a spot in your visual field connected to a felt sensation or emotion in your body. This helps your brain and body begin to process what's been stored there, without needing to talk it all through.
You can talk as much or as little as you choose. Your system knows how to heal when it has the right support.
Optional bi-lateral music can be played through earphones to enhance your processing experience.
I’ve trained extensively in Brainspotting, completing all four core phases of professional training, as well as further specialised trainings. Whether you're processing trauma, navigating anxiety, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or seeking reconnection with parts of yourself, I bring advanced knowledge of how to support deep, embodied healing.
My approach is trauma-informed, and every session is grounded in compassion, attunement, safety, and respect for your nervous system’s pace.
90-Minute Session – £170
Deep healing session - The most cost effective way to go deeper, saving £60 compared to 2 shorter sessions.
Spacious, unhurried and ideal for deeper processing and emotional release. These extended sessions allow for deeper processing and greater integration and so potentially fewer sessions overall
A 90-minute session will give you approx 60-minutes of uninterrupted, deep processing time, compared to approx 20-minutes of processing time in a 50-minute session.
50-Minute Session – £115
Shorter session (Best for a taster session or a follow-up / check-in )
Ideal for a taster session, a gentle introduction to therapy with Brainspotting, or as a follow up or check-in session after deep work has been completed.
Whilst longer sessions offer you better value, I appreciate these may not suit everyone's schedule, and so you are welcome to book the format that works best for you. If you're unsure, we can talk through the options together.
You don’t have to carry it all by yourself. You don’t need the perfect words to begin healing. Real change can feel quiet, steady, and deeply felt. Your body already knows how to let go, when it feels safe enough.
Everyone's experience of Brainspotting will be unique to them and so results will vary for each individual. As with other forms of therapy, individuals may experience heightened emotions at times, and processing will continue after each session. If you choose to listen to bilateral music during or after sessions, please check with your medical provider if this could be an issue with any medical conditions you have.
Sessions are not suitable for individuals experiencing acute distress as I do not offer a crisis service.
