Affinity & Beyond Therapy in short

Affinity & Beyond Therapy is Lorraine Romney's anxiety and trauma practice, combining hypnotherapy with ACT, psychosensory therapy and mindfulness at clinics in Wellington and Shrewsbury, plus online sessions [1]. Our verdict is that the fixed-length format is its appeal: five-session programmes with the price fixed upfront, opening with a free consultation [1]. Clinics run in Telford and Shrewsbury with online sessions UK-wide, starting with a free thirty-minute consultation [1] [3]. The mix of hypnotherapy, ACT, psychosensory work and mindfulness suits clients who want more than trance alone [1] [2].

Clinics run face to face in Telford and Shrewsbury from the Wellington base at the Rizzo Wellbeing Centre on Church Street, with online sessions UK-wide [1] [3]. Anxiety and trauma are the stated focus, worked through hypnotherapy, ACT, psychosensory therapy and mindfulness [1] [2]. Contact runs by phone, email and form [1].

Reviews give Affinity & Beyond Therapy five stars across eleven Google reviews, with no other public rating source found [5]. That base shares the round's largest five-star count with the children's practice. Fixed programme prices mean the cost is settled before the work starts [1].

NCH registration is listed on the professional finder [4], while trading history, insurance detail and opening hours are unpublished, which counts against it [1]. Even so, the fixed-length format with the price agreed upfront keeps it our programme-based pick for anxiety and trauma.
