Reflective check in Sessions
Ongoing reflective therapy for emotional wellbeing, meaning, and self-connection
A monthly space to stay in relationship with yourself
Many people seek therapy during periods of difficulty and leave feeling clearer, steadier, and more connected to themselves.
What often follows is quieter and less obvious: life resumes, demands increase, and the reflective space that supported this connection gradually disappears. Over time, people may continue to function well while slowly losing contact with their emotional life, values, and sense of direction.
Reflective check in Sessions are designed to prevent this drift.
They offer a regular, intentional space for reflection, life review, and emotional check-in, supporting ongoing wellbeing rather than responding only when things become overwhelming.
What are Reflective Check In Sessions?
Reflective Check In sessions are monthly 60-minute therapy sessions, offered either:
as a stand-alone service, or
following an initial period of therapy
They provide a consistent space to:
pause and reflect on how life is unfolding
notice emotional patterns before they become difficulties
reconnect with needs, values, and aspirations
support emotional regulation and self-awareness
review balance, direction, and meaning
This is not crisis therapy. It is a serious and intentional commitment to emotional wellbeing.
How the sessions work?
Sessions can be shaped to suit your needs and may include:
Life review and balance, using frameworks such as the Wheel of Life
Emotional check-ins, supporting awareness and regulation
Reflection on needs and wants, especially those that are often neglected
Exploration of meaning and direction, particularly during life transitions
Open reflective space, without pressure to “fix” or perform
Some sessions may be focused and practical; others slower and more contemplative. The work is responsive rather than prescriptive.
A preventative approach to mental health
Just as physical health benefits from regular movement and attention, emotional wellbeing benefits from ongoing reflection and care.
Without this, people often adapt, cope, and carry on, while becoming increasingly disconnected from themselves.
These sessions offer a way to remain emotionally present, regulated, and engaged with life as it is actually being lived.

This reflects the seriousness of the work and the intention to support sustained wellbeing rather than short-term problem-solving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this therapy?
Yes, these sessions are offered as a form of reflective therapy and are conducted within the BACP Ethical Framework.
They differ from time-limited or crisis-focused therapy in that they are preventative and ongoing, with an emphasis on reflection, emotional regulation, life review, and maintaining connection with yourself over time.
Some people experience them as lighter in intensity than traditional therapy; others find them equally meaningful, just differently focused.
Do I need to have had therapy before?
No. Reflective Check In sessions can be accessed either:
as a stand-alone service, or
following a previous period of therapy
If you are new to therapy, we will take time initially to ensure this offering is suitable for you and that expectations are clear.
What if I’m going through a difficult period?
These sessions are not intended as crisis support. If significant distress, risk, or acute difficulties arise, we would discuss whether a different therapeutic arrangement or additional support would be more appropriate.
Where possible, this conversation would take place collaboratively and with care.
Is this like coaching or mentoring?
No. While sessions may sometimes be structured or goal-focused, the work remains therapeutic rather than directive.
The emphasis is on reflection, awareness, and emotional understanding — not advice-giving or performance.
Can I stop or pause the sessions?
Yes. Reflective Check In Sessions are offered as a rolling monthly commitment, reflecting the intention to support ongoing wellbeing.
However, you are not locked in indefinitely. If you wish to pause or end the sessions, this can be discussed openly and agreed with reasonable notice.
Taking the next step
If this way of working resonates with you, the next step is simply to get in touch.
We can arrange an initial conversation to discuss whether Reflective Check In sessions feel like a good fit for you at this stage of life.
Staying connected to yourself is not a luxury, it’s a foundation for living well.
