Paced, structured trauma processing — delivered by a BABCP accredited therapist and NMC registered mental health nurse, at a pace that respects where you are.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can develop after experiencing or witnessing a distressing or life-threatening event. It can leave the mind and body on high alert long after the danger has passed — through flashbacks, avoidance, and a nervous system that struggles to settle.
Treatment is led personally by Arlene Alexander-Price — an NMC registered mental health nurse since 2004 and a BABCP accredited therapist of close to two decades' standing — using structured, evidence-based approaches, at a pace that keeps you feeling safe throughout.

PTSD can follow a single distressing event or prolonged, repeated experiences. Symptoms can appear soon afterwards, or emerge months or even years later, and often show up in ways that don't feel obviously connected to what happened.
Everyone's experience of trauma is different — there is no "right" way to have been affected, and no timeline you should already have moved past.
Select each one to read more — recognising the pattern is often the first step toward doing something about it.
Unwanted, vivid memories of the traumatic event that resurface without warning, sometimes feeling as if it is happening again.
Steering clear of people, places, conversations or situations that bring the trauma to mind, even at the cost of daily life.
Feeling constantly on edge, easily startled, or scanning for danger even in safe environments.
Nightmares, disrupted sleep, or trouble focusing that can affect work, relationships and everyday functioning.
Persistent low mood, guilt, shame, or a changed sense of safety and trust in the world or in others.
Feeling disconnected from others, from emotions, or from things that used to feel meaningful.
Three stages, kept simple and paced around you.
A first conversation to understand your history and needs, and confirm the right approach at your pace.
Focused, up to 60-minute sessions, using structured, evidence-based techniques to process trauma safely.
Regular check-ins, ending with a clear plan to maintain progress and manage triggers long-term.
