ONE TO ONE
No guru stuff. No breathing exercises you'll have forgotten by Thursday. We start with what's actually going on, and we work on that.
The first conversation is fifteen minutes and costs nothing. It's there so you can hear how I work and I can tell you honestly whether I can help.
After that, sessions are usually weekly to start with, then further apart as things settle. Most people need fewer than they expect. I'm not interested in keeping you coming for the sake of it, and I'll say when I think we're done.
In person in Northallerton, or online if that's easier.
Thirty years of it, and a decade as a mental health nurse before any of that. Which mostly means I'll pick what fits you rather than running you through a process.
Rumination, second-guessing, the endless rehearsal of conversations that have already happened or never will. This is the thing I'm best known for and the subject of Overthunk! Your Brain is Chatting Sh*t to You.
Including long-standing patterns and things that started a long time ago. Fast is possible. Fast is often what happens. But we go at the pace the thing actually needs.
The decision you keep not making. The role you've outgrown. The sense that there's more to life than this and no idea what to do about it.
One to one clients. Anonymous, because that's what they asked for.
Three sessions with Alan and something genuinely shifted. I can't fully explain it. I just stopped doing the thing that was holding me back.
No-nonsense, direct, and genuinely effective. Exactly what I needed. No fluff, no jargon, just someone who knew what was going on and how to deal with it.
I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got was someone who actually listened, actually understood, and actually helped.
Fast, effective, and nothing like the therapy I'd tried before. I wish I'd done it sooner.
Fifteen minutes, free, no pressure. Worst case you find out I'm not the right fit and I point you at someone who is.
