Our work
Three ways to work. One purpose.
01 / Organisations
Emotion Pathway®
A practical, trauma-informed skill for when an experience continues to trigger an emotional response, without requiring you to disclose, talk through or relive what happened.
Explore Emotion Pathway®
02 / Practitioners
The Manse Method®
A psycho-sensory approach that helps change the emotional response attached to past experiences. The memory itself isn't erased; the focus is on changing the response attached to it.

has affected me.
Emotion Pathway®
A skill people can apply themselves, alongside existing wellbeing provision, not in place of it.
I need
additional support.
The Emotion Pathway®
What people actually learn to do.
Five stages, worked through in order. Once someone has been taught them, they can use the sequence for themselves, in the moment, without a practitioner in the room.
Notice that something has been triggered, and name it.
Steady the immediate response before doing anything else.
Ease the emotional charge attached to a memory or feeling.
Come back to the present, settled and able to carry on.
Check what changed, and what to use again next time.
Techniques from The Manse Method® are used within the Release stage.
Who we work with
A skill designed to live inside real organisations.
A practical capability for HR, People & Culture, emergency-services and school leaders. Not something reserved only for people already identified as struggling.
Evidence-informed. Evaluation-led.
Emotion Pathway® brings together established principles from trauma-informed practice, emotional regulation, working-memory research and psycho-sensory approaches.
The research informing the programme is not the same as evidence for Emotion Pathway® itself. That is why we are building the evidence base through structured training, assessment and ongoing evaluation.
What we are measuring
Understanding after training. Confidence using the framework. Frequency of use. Changes in emotional intensity. Barriers to use. Follow-up experience. Relevant organisational measures, where appropriate.
In their words
“I wondered whether the effects would last and whether I could reproduce the technique with the same results. So far yes, and I have used the technique since and it has worked brilliantly.”
“It gave me the tools to head into life's battles and be able to face them head on. You can come out with a new lease of life, and two new friends.”
“One of the best things happened to me in many years. What an amazing experience for the emotional and physical wellbeing.”
