What is reconnection?

reconnection is a space for life-changing conversations. I blend transformative coaching with trauma-informed practice to help you regulate your nervous system, understand patterns, and reconnect with your authentic self. It’s practical, compassionate, and paced so your body and mind can keep up.

Is this therapy or coaching?

It’s coaching with a trauma-informed lens. I’m a Transformative Coach and a counsellor-in-training (Integrative Humanistic). I don’t diagnose or treat mental illness. If therapy is more appropriate, I’ll say so and help you find the right support. Many clients use this alongside therapy or after therapy to build momentum.

What happens in the first session?

We slow things down. We map what’s going on (symptoms, stressors, what’s helped/not helped), agree your aims, and try one or two gentle regulation tools so you leave with something tangible. You’re always in charge of pace and depth.

How many sessions will I need, and how often?

Most people start with 4–6 sessions, weekly or fortnightly, then review. Some continue monthly for accountability. We’ll tailor frequency to your nervous system (enough momentum, not overwhelm).

Is it confidential? What if I’m in crisis?

Sessions are confidential with standard safeguarding exceptions (risk of harm to you/others, or legal requirements). This is not a crisis service. If you’re in immediate danger call 999 (UK) or speak to Samaritans on 116 123. I can signpost you to additional services if needed.
