Trauma and PTSD
Ashore Wellness
Registered Social Worker, AASW, ACA
I support clients with PTSD and trauma by creating a safe and compassionate space where they can process their experiences at their own pace. Using Narrative Therapy as a primary approach, I help clients reframe the impact of trauma and reclaim their sense of identity and control. I integrate Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to address the mind-body connection, promoting emotional regulation and healing. For clients supported through the Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) or the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal (VOCAT), I provide trauma-informed care that acknowledges the complexities of their experiences while helping them navigate recovery and resilience. My culturally sensitive approach ensures each client’s unique background is honored as we work collaboratively toward empowerment and restoration.

Trauma and PTSD
Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns), Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
Due to my background in critical incident trauma response, restorative justice, family violence, sexual abuse and mental health, I have a good understanding of all kinds of trauma (recent or past) and how they impact the person including the potential impacts for those around them. I am able to utilise a psycho-educational approach to help you understand your trauma impacts better and learn practical strategies to support increased emotional regulation skills, along with specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session. This comprehensive strategy supports greater healing of the underlying trauma without the need to discuss the details of the trauma. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self, leaving often the carried sense of anger, guilt or shame behind.
My aim is to assist you with your trauma difficulties to restore balance, happiness and inner peace (using the various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods) along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

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.

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.
