Therapy for Hypervigilance

Hypervigilance can feel like your mind never clocks off. You may scan people's tone, exits, messages, movement, or silence, trying to stay ahead of danger.

Moffat works with hypervigilance by treating it as a survival response that may have outlived the original threat. The goal is not to shame the alertness, but to help your body learn where safety exists now.

How this can show up

• Feeling tense in ordinary places or conversations
• Startling easily or struggling to sleep deeply
• Reading small changes in people's mood as danger
• Needing to know exits, plans, or what could go wrong
• Feeling exhausted from always being on watch

What counselling with Moffat can focus on

Sessions can help you map triggers, understand the experiences that trained your nervous system, and practise grounding before exploring deeper memories. Moffat can also support boundaries and choices that reduce unnecessary threat.

Starting sessions

If your body has been on guard for a long time, it may take time to trust calm. That pace is respected in counselling.
