Trauma Counselling

When Trauma Is Still Present

You might recognise yourself here:

• You feel constantly on edge or easily startled

• You experience anxiety, panic, or sudden emotional reactions

• You feel numb, disconnected, or shut down

• You avoid certain people, places, or situations

• You struggle with trust or feeling safe in relationships

• You feel overwhelmed by emotions or, at times, feel nothing at all

• Your body holds tension that doesn’t fully release

Trauma is not a sign that something is wrong with you.
It’s a sign that your system adapted to something that felt too much at the time.

How I Work With Trauma

I don’t approach trauma by pushing you to revisit or relive painful experiences.

Instead, we focus on creating safety — first.

We work slowly, with awareness and respect for your nervous system.

Through a body-based approach, informed by Core Energetics, we include what is happening in your body, not just your thoughts or memories.

Together, we begin to:

• Build a sense of safety and grounding

• Recognise how trauma shows up in your body

• Increase your capacity to stay present without becoming overwhelmed

• Gently process what has been held, at your pace

• Restore a sense of connection — with yourself and others

This work is not about forcing release.
It’s about allowing your system to gradually come out of protection when it’s ready.

What You Can Expect

• A safe, steady, and non-judgmental space

• Work that respects your pace and boundaries

• No pressure to share more than you’re ready for

• Support to regulate your nervous system

• Gentle reconnection with your body

• A focus on building stability before going deeper

We go step by step.
Nothing is rushed, and nothing is forced.

Is this just talking, or something different?
We do talk—but we also work with the body, awareness, and nervous system regulation. It’s a more integrated approach.

Yes, sessions are available online and in person.

How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what you’re working through. Some people come for short-term support, others for deeper ongoing work.
