Dr Shikha Gray
Psychologist, PhD, MPsych(Couns)
Trauma and PTSD can have a profoundly existential effect - on your emotional well-being, relationships, sense of self, the meaning you give to your experiences, and your capacity to cope with everyday stressors. In therapy, I offer comprehensive support to help you regain a sense of safety and control. We start by establishing a safe and nurturing environment where you can learn to cope with difficult feelings as they arise and process them at your own pace. My approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of mind and body, and emphasises a holistic path to recovery where you can reclaim your sense of self and find inner peace.

The central focus is on reconnecting with the vulnerable inner child by exploring trauma incidents, past or present, and unraveling the maladaptive beliefs and coping mechanisms that developed as a result of these traumatic wounds.

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.

Trauma and PTSD
Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Everyone has trauma. It's part of being alive. And some trauma events can be particularly intense and leave us feeling unsafe in the world. The environment we grew up in, if particularly abusive and dysfunctional, can also be traumatic and cause us to feel unsafe in the world. Trauma shows up in our nervous system responses to people and situations, like being excessively wary and on high alert.
We work to regulate your nervous system, to give it safe resting places and experiences of relaxation. We also work with the underlying trauma itself in a very slow, resourcing way.
