How many psychology sessions will I need?

At Still Moving, most people see us for 6 to 10 sessions. We clarify goals early and review progress as we go. If it becomes clear that you would benefit from support beyond this timeframe, your psychologist will discuss this with you openly. Our aim is not to extend therapy unnecessarily, but to ensure you receive the right support.

What we see

Everyone's story is different, but many of the challenges we help with are shared. Below are some of the most common concerns people seek therapy for.

Neurodiversity

    ADHD
    
      Living with ADHD can affect focus, organisation, motivation and emotional regulation, even if you've always appeared to cope. We help adults better understand how ADHD shows up in everyday life and develop practical strategies that support long-term wellbeing.

    Autism
    
      Many autistic adults seek therapy to better understand themselves, navigate relationships or reduce the impact of masking. We provide an affirming space to explore identity, communication, sensory experiences and life challenges.
    
    OCD
    
      Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviours and persistent doubt that interfere with daily life. Therapy focuses on understanding the cycle of OCD and helping you regain a greater sense of control.

Mood & Emotional Wellbeing

    Anxiety
    
Anxiety can leave you constantly worrying, feeling on edge or expecting the worst. Together, we'll identify what's maintaining your anxiety and help you develop more effective ways of responding.
    
    Depression
    
Depression can affect your mood, energy, motivation and enjoyment of life. Therapy offers a supportive space to understand what's contributing to your low mood and begin moving towards meaningful change.    
  
    Loneliness
    
Feeling lonely or disconnected can happen even when you're surrounded by other people. We help you understand the barriers to connection and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

Self & Identity

    Self-Esteem
    
Persistent self-doubt and low self-esteem can influence your relationships, career and everyday decisions. Therapy helps you develop greater self-confidence, self-compassion and a more balanced view of yourself.    
  
    Overthinking
    
If your mind constantly replays conversations, predicts worst-case scenarios or struggles to switch off, you're not alone. We help you understand the patterns behind overthinking and develop strategies to quiet the mental noise.  
  
    Identity & Gender
    
Questions around identity or experiences of gender dysphoria can bring uncertainty, distress or a desire for greater self-understanding. We offer a respectful, affirming space to explore who you are without judgement.
    
    Social Anxiety
    
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions, work situations or meeting new people feel overwhelming. Therapy helps you build confidence, reduce fear and feel more comfortable being yourself around others.

Stress & Relationships

    Stress & Burnout
    Long-term stress and burnout can leave you feeling exhausted, emotionally drained and disconnected from the things that matter most. Together, we'll identify the factors contributing to your stress and develop sustainable ways to restore balance.  

    Life Transitions
    
Major life changes such as becoming a parent, changing careers, moving, separation or retirement can feel unsettling. Therapy provides support as you adjust to change and navigate the uncertainty that often comes with it.   

    Relationships & Attachment
    
Our early relationships often shape how we connect with others throughout life. We help people understand attachment patterns, improve communication and build healthier, more secure relationships.    
  
    Chronic Pain
    
Living with chronic pain affects far more than physical health, it can impact mood, relationships and quality of life. Therapy can help you manage the emotional challenges of persistent pain while supporting your overall wellbeing.
