Our trauma therapists can provide counselling and support following a traumatic event. We can offer EMDR and Schema therapy. We also have a child counsellor who offers art and play based support.
We work with people with the diagnosis of trauma and PTSD using a variety of evidence-based modalities, such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Relaxation Therapy. For people who are not experiencing dissociative states, clinical hypnotherapy can also be useful to support emotional management following an experience of trauma.
Post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma are a result of various life events that can have frightening and unsettling effects. Some of these include car accidents, domestic violence, sexual and emotional abuse. These can affect the brain's ability to recall the events.
The goal of trauma therapy is to help people rewrite their stories and regain a sense of stability and safety.
