Frequently Asked Questions

I am based in Market Weighton, at the bottom of the Arras landscape, in East Yorkshire (hence the name of the business). I work from my dedicated therapies space and also online for people who are further afield. For home-based or house-bound clients I can also offer home visits within a certain travel radius. Read about The Story of Arras here.

I have set appointment times during the week, and ad hoc Saturdays and evenings for those who can't access weekday appointments. When you enquire, I will offer you a range of appointment times to choose from via email. If you need an evening appointment please let me know at the time of enquiry.

No, I am not a licensed counsellor or psychotherapist in the traditional sense. I'm a coach who has trained in different types of breathwork modalities and somatic healing lineages, and my qualifications are a mixture of certifications combined with my extensive experience as a consultant with clients, groups and organisations since 2021. You can read more about me at the About page. I receive regular, professional supervision from qualified counsellors and I take part in monthly reflective practice with a group of therapists, counsellors and other coaches. Fully insured as standard.

I've been working with clients who have experienced different types of trauma since 2021 and I am a trained somatic trauma coach specialising in attunement, self-inquiry, neurodivergence, and breathwork. However, sometimes clients will come to me who are outside my area of practice and skillset. In those situations I will discuss alternative options such as working alongside a qualified trauma therapist at the same time as coaching and breathwork with me, or I will refer to an appropriate counselling directory.

Yes I do! However, some offerings are only available to women at the current time, and this will be detailed on the relevant webpage and description. 

I work with ages 18 years old and above, and have a safeguarding policy in place. Please see my Operating Procedures page. If you are seeking support for someone who is younger, I may be able to signpost you in the right direction.

Yes you can! My pay-as-you-go rates are included on the Rates page. The containers are better value for money and offer a greater opportunity for intensive and focused work together, but I know that doesn't suit everybody. You can also book one session and then change to a container, and I will discount this based on what you have already paid. 

Groups and workshops can be booked online when they are running and I will share details in my newsletter and social media. You can also pay when you attend the event. Some events may ask for a deposit to secure your place. For individual one-to-one sessions and containers, these are still managed by invoice. You can pay by card, cash, PayPal or bank transfer. Payment should be made in advance of sessions unless otherwise agreed.

Yes I do! I am doing my best to operate to a social justice model so that this work and experience is available to more people. If you are unemployed, in receipt of benefits, or on a low income then I am happy to negotiate a different rate for you. Please let me know when enquiring. 

I have a 48-hour cancellation policy in place to ensure that I can make your appointment slot available to somebody else. In the event of emergencies and illness, this is more flexible and your appointment can be moved to a different week. Please visit the Booking Disclaimer here.

Yes I do! I do my best to share monthly updates and sometimes more frequently. Scroll to the bottom of the webpage and there will be a sign-up box. You can unsubscribe at any time.
