Penelope Aleyiannis
Licensed Professional Counsellor, B.Sc(Psych), M. Couns.
Experiencing trauma can leave deep emotional scars that affect your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours long after the event. As a counsellor specialising in trauma and PTSD, I provide a safe, supportive space for individuals to process and heal from their past experiences. Whether you're struggling with the effects of childhood trauma, recent events, or ongoing PTSD symptoms, I offer trauma-informed therapy that empowers you to reclaim control over your life. Using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused interventions, I help clients process distressing memories, reduce flashbacks and anxiety, and rebuild a sense of safety and trust in themselves and the world. Healing from trauma is a journey, and together, we can work toward reducing the emotional burden, building resilience, and restoring hope for the future. You don’t have to carry the weight of your experiences alone—I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Debbie Debonaire
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Hons, IMTTA, Heartmath Coach
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) therapy, known as PTSD Counseling or Trauma Therapy, focuses on addressing the psychological aftermath of traumatic experiences. This therapeutic approach is vital for individuals who continue to struggle with distressing symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and avoidance behaviours long after the trauma has occurred. I include science-backed treatments like heartmath heart coherence techniques, cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and prolonged exposure therapy to help clients process and integrate traumatic memories, reduce symptoms, and regain a sense of safety and control in their lives. Giving a compassionate and effective path towards healing and recovery for those impacted by PTSD. I guide individuals to get a better understanding of the emotions attached to past trauma and PTSD so that they can begin to change these emotions that are currently stifling their lives. Taking them through a science-backed process that enables them to quieten the volume of the trauma and replace it with better, more focused on present emotions

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
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.
