What It Is

Our Trauma & PTSD counselling is specialised support for individuals who’ve experienced trauma, whether a single event or prolonged distress and those living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This service is for anyone ready to heal from the lingering effects of their past.

Trauma-Informed Approach

As a cornerstone of our practice, this service embodies our trauma-informed principles:

• Safety: We prioritise your physical and emotional security, ensuring you feel protected in every session.

• Trust: We build a relationship based on consistency and reliability so you can feel confident in the process.

• Empowerment: You’re in control—deciding what to explore and when. We may use evidence-based methods like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), but only with your consent and at your pace.

Client Experience

You will feel in control of your healing. Sessions provide a safe haven where you can process traumatic memories without the fear of re-traumatization. We will guide you through techniques designed to reduce the intensity of flashbacks, nightmares, or hypervigilance, always checking in to ensure you are comfortable. You will have the freedom to pause or adjust as needed, fostering a sense of agency.

Outcomes

Together, we’ll work toward:

• Reducing PTSD symptoms, such as intrusive thoughts or emotional numbness.

• Reclaiming your sense of self aids you in rediscovering who you are beyond the trauma. It helps you build a life of meaning, where the past no longer defines your future.
