After your assessment, if you and your counsellor agree to proceed, you’ll be placed on our waiting list. Once a space is available, you’ll begin with a block of six sessions, followed by a review to decide whether to continue or conclude. Reviews typically happen every six sessions to ensure the work remains focused and helpful for you.

Sessions are held securely via encrypted video platforms such as Zoom or VSee. We offer a range of therapeutic approaches, tailored to each client’s needs and the expertise of their counsellor/psychotherapist. These include: • Talking Therapies • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) • Person-Centred Counselling • Integrative Counselling • Psychodynamic Psychotherapy • Mindfulness-Based Approaches • Psychoeducation on narcissistic abuse and trauma responses (Approaches are tailored by individual counsellor/psychotherapist expertise.)

Our team includes qualified, insured, and Enhanced DBS–checked practitioners who are registered with a recognised UK counselling or psychotherapy body (such as NCPS, BACP, or equivalent). Each practitioner also completes a specialist three-month in-house training in our narcissistic abuse recovery programme, ensuring they work with deep understanding, trauma-informed care, and a commitment to centring lived experience.

If you’re looking for couples or family support, we recommend reaching out to a specialist service that can assess whether that approach is right for your situation.

Our model is based on continuity and relationship, so we don’t offer one‑off sessions. After your initial assessment session,(https://www.theechosociety.org.uk/initial-assessment-session) you and your counsellor can agree on a session frequency that feels manageable — such as weekly or fortnightly.
