We recommend 3–10 individual sessions of 60–90 minutes for a specific issue or goal.

The number of sessions required and their frequency can be determined in collaboration and consultation with your therapist, where your history and goals for treatment are taken into consideration.

Individual and group therapy sessions are available, depending on your requirements.

ITT is a gentle body-based approach to healing trauma. It blends talk therapy with somatic (body-focused) methods like Somatic Experiencing (SE), Art Therapy, mindful movement, and nervous system education. The aim is to help you feel safer in your body, regulate your emotions, and gently process the effects of unresolved stress or trauma.

Not quite. While talking is part of the process, ITT places more emphasis on what your body is holding, not just your thoughts or memories. We work with how trauma lives in the nervous system, which often shows up as anxiety, exhaustion, numbness, or feeling stuck.

You don’t need a trauma “label” to benefit from this work. Trauma can come from many experiences – early relationships, ongoing stress, illness, accidents, or simply feeling unsupported. If you experience anxiety, overwhelm, emotional numbness, or disconnection from yourself or others, ITT may offer helpful tools.

No. ITT is a gentle and non-invasive approach. You don’t need to retell or relive traumatic events. In fact, many people find healing through learning how to track body sensations, shift patterns of activation, and find safety in the present – often without needing to go into the full story.

Yes. Trauma isn’t just about major events. It can also result from ongoing stress, emotional neglect, difficult relationships, or early developmental experiences. If you feel anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or others, ITT can help you regulate your system and reconnect with a greater sense of ease.

Sessions are guided by your needs and may include:

• Gentle body awareness and tracking sensations
• Somatic Experiencing practices
• Art-making or image-based reflection (no artistic skill required!)
• Mindful movement or grounding exercises
• Time for reflection, integration, and resourcing

It’s a collaborative process – everything is paced to suit your comfort and capacity.

Only if you want to. Art and movement are optional tools we can use when they feel helpful. Many people find them useful ways to express and process things that are hard to put into words.

Yes. ITT can be a complement to other therapeutic work, especially if your current therapy is more cognitive or talk-focused. Some people also use ITT as a standalone process if they’re looking for a body-based approach.

That depends on your goals and what you’re working with. Some people come for short-term support (e.g., 6 – 8 sessions), while others find ongoing work more helpful. We’ll review your needs together and adapt as we go.

We understand life can be unpredictable. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice prior to your session so we can offer the time to someone else. For Monday appointments, 48 hours’ notice is required.

• Less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a 50% cancellation fee.
• Two consecutive missed sessions without notice will result in the full session fee, even if you are unwell.

If we’re able to fill your cancelled appointment, the fee will be waived. This policy supports
consistent access for all clients and helps maintain your place as a returning client.
