Brainspotting is a gentle therapeutic approach that uses points in a person's field of vision to help them notice and process difficult experiences held in the body and nervous system. Many people explore it for stress, overwhelm, or working through past events at their own pace. The Brainspotting practitioners listed on Welvow are independently reviewed and work with people across the UK.

What brainspotting actually involves, and how people use it.
Brainspotting is a therapy that uses points in your field of vision to help you process difficult experiences and feelings. It is often used to support people working through trauma and stress.
With the therapist guiding you, you focus on a point while noticing what comes up, at a pace you are comfortable with. The therapist supports you throughout. Sessions usually last 50 to 90 minutes.
It varies with what you are working through. Your therapist will agree a pace and plan with you, and review as you go.
Look for Brainspotting training alongside an existing qualification such as counselling, psychotherapy or psychology. Every therapist on Welvow is independently reviewed, with their training on their profile.
