Neuro-Affective Touch Therapy

A touch based therapy for complex/developmental trauma practiced fully clothed. It bridges body and mind. Intentional, mindful touch brings unconscious beliefs and memories held in the body into conscious awareness. Through offering direct communication and support to the body at the nonverbal level, where we receive our first imprints, NeuroAffective Touch reconnects us to our own innate wholeness.

Warm cushions and gentle touch offer support and protection to the body. A true body-mind dialogue is cultivated, where neither body nor mind hold primacy. Both work together. It is common for touch to feel scary after trauma so all work is done slowly and with consent at all times.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a deeply relaxing process that works with the subconscious mind. It can be particularly useful in reducing stress, overcoming self doubt and improve mental focus. It addresses subconscious patterns of thinking and reframes them in a positive way.

Our hypnotherapists are qualified and experienced in working with a range of presenting issues such as Addictive Behaviours, Phobias and Compulsive Behaviours and un-processed trauma.

Somatic Experiencing

Somatic Experiencing is a body oriented therapy that helps to heal trauma and chronic stress. Unlike traditional talking therapies SE encourages you to tune into and notice physical sensations in the body.

By learning to notice these sensations without judgement, the brain learns to see them as non- threatening, the nervous system stops responding as if the danger is present and allows the symptoms (our bodies warning system) to settle. Any fight, flight or freeze energies present can be discharged, allowing the client to return to a state of calm and balance.

How We Work

28 High Street has a small, permanent, in-house team of qualified, registered and insured therapists who carry out intake consultations with new enquiries. When you get in touch with us, we will ask to arrange a 20-minute phone call where we can get to know more about you, what is going on in your life, how it is affecting you and what your desired outcomes are from therapy. This enables us to build a picture of what sort of therapist would be best placed to help. Based on your presentation, we will cross reference information you have given us with our extensive database of private practice therapists.

We know these therapists personally, and have taken time to find out and verify their qualifications, skills, areas of specialist training and interest, lived experience, rates and availability. By understanding our clients and knowing our therapists, we can confidently make recommendations based on the best profile fit. We will send you these recommendations by e-mail, and you can contact the the therapist in your own time, or, if you wish and only with your consent, we can send a redacted summary of our conversation to the therapist and ask them to contact you.

The service we offer is personal, detailed, client centred, empathic and confidential. Unlike large online platforms we do not put people in boxes. How one person experiences anxiety, depression, overwhelm, addiction, obsession or grief will differ from the next. We understand that every individual coming to therapy will have their own, unique history requiring tailored, considered and appropriate therapy.

We have therapists qualified to work with Children, Teenagers and Adults of all backgrounds. Therapies offered include Psychotherapy, Counselling, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Somatic Processing Therapy, Psychology, Psychiatric Services and more…

We help clients from all over Cheshire and Greater Manchester, but we are particularly well placed to serve Altrincham, Bowdon, Timperly, Sale, Hale, Hale Barns, Lymm, Knutsford, Heald Green, Wilmslow, Dunham and Wythenshawe.
