The trauma self-check
How much is the past intruding?
A short, reflective check, written by Hora. It won’t diagnose anything, but it can help you notice how much you’re carrying.
Private by design: your answers stay in your browser. We don’t see, save or track them, and nothing here is linked to you.
Over the last two weeks, how often have you felt…
A reflective check written by Hora: a signpost, not a diagnosis.
This is a reflection, not a diagnosis. Hora isn't an emergency service. If you're in immediate danger call 999, or NHS 111 (mental health option). Samaritans: 116 123.
How it works
Three steps to get you started:
An assessment
A 25-minute assessment with an experienced clinician, to understand what you need and find the right fit.
Choose your therapist
Straight after your assessment, you’re sent a selection of therapist profiles to browse, each with their own specialisms and interests. You choose who you’d like to work with, and begin soon after, with no long wait for your first session.
A weekly hour
Open-ended weekly sessions online, at the same time each week, held just for you. No contract and no minimum commitment, so you stay for as long as it helps.
£26 for your first assessment, then £40 a session. No membership and no minimum commitment.
How Hora helps with trauma
Careful, paced, and never rushed.
Your therapist is equipped to work with trauma gently, at your pace, and help it settle. The same steady hour, every week, held for as long as it helps.
Good to know
Common questions
For many people, yes, and being in your own safe space can help. Trauma work is always paced carefully, and it often doesn’t mean revisiting the event in detail at all; your therapist won’t push you further than you’re ready to go. At assessment we’ll consider together whether online weekly therapy is the right fit, or whether more specialist or intensive support is needed.
Not unless and until you’re ready, and often not in detail at all. It’s a common misconception that trauma therapy means reliving the event moment by moment. A lot of the work is about safety, understanding your responses, and how the past is affecting you now. You stay in control of what you share and when.
All kinds: single events like an accident, assault or loss, and complex trauma, the kind that builds up over time from ongoing experiences, often in childhood or relationships. If your needs call for specialist trauma services, we’ll be honest about that and help you find the right support.
No. EMDR is a specialist trauma therapy with its own training, and it isn’t something our therapists offer. If EMDR is specifically what you’re after, we’ll be honest about that at your assessment and can point you towards services that provide it. What we offer is therapy that works with how the trauma is affecting you now, at your pace.
A one-off £26 assessment, then £40 for each 50-minute weekly session: no membership, no minimum commitment, no hidden fees. Genuinely affordable, with your therapist paid fairly.
That’s understandable, and you won’t be pushed. Trauma therapy goes at your pace, and it doesn’t have to mean reliving the event in detail; much of the work is about feeling safe and steady, and understanding how the past affects you now. You stay in control of what you share and when. If things ever feel unsafe or overwhelming between sessions, please use the urgent help below.
It’s worth asking who actually delivers therapy this affordable. A lot of low-cost online therapy comes from counsellors early in a one- or two-year training, almost always working unpaid, and sometimes presented as fully qualified when they’re not. Hora is the honest version: your therapist is a psychotherapist in advanced UKCP-accredited clinical training, the deepest and most rigorous route in the profession, closely supervised and with hundreds of clinical hours behind them, and paid fairly for every session. Therapy is open-ended, with no session cap and no income test, and you choose who you work with. Genuinely affordable, and never built on someone’s free labour.
Hora isn’t an emergency service. If you’re in immediate danger, call 999 or go to your nearest A&E. For urgent support, these free services are there any time: Samaritans on 116 123, Shout by texting SHOUT to 85258, NHS 111 for urgent mental-health advice, and Switchboard for LGBTQIA+ people on 0800 0119 100. If you’re not in crisis but things feel heavy, booking an assessment is a good next step.
