I work with a lot of people through trauma and PTSD. Most of the people that I have seen have had some major traumas and if not then they have suffered from a develomental trauma. I am attending a training in November 2019 to learn further how to help -people in processing their traumas further and healing from them.
I have an extensive background in trauma through my work with young people & adults around sexual abuse/assault, domestic violence & childhood trauma/neglect. My trauma informed practice gives me the basis for understanding & supporting people through trauma. My experience has helped me to understand that trauma is a very unique & individualized experience. For some people, trauma can appear small or unimportant (like a car accident) however to me, all trauma is experienced by the individual as traumatic for them, so whether it is perceived by others as small or unimportant it is important, & valid, for the person for whom the experience was traumatic. I have found that this understanding has been vital in my trauma work & has helped me to support people with all types of trauma. Building the therapeutic relationship, again, is important in this work to create a collaborative, safe & comfortable environment for my clients to share & heal.

As above, I am experienced in working with clients who have experienced different kinds of trauma, including complex trauma over a period of time. I work both long and short term, depending on your needs. If seeking help to work with your trauma feels scary, please be assured that the feeling of safety is paramount for me, and we will work together to establish this and approach the work you want to do at a speed that suits you - you are in control.
