Trauma Informed

As a trauma informed therapist, I working using the Trauma Informed Model. This involves working with stabilization skills, processing the trauma and then integration into life after therapy, moving forward.

I have specific training and experience in working with trauma and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) including working with adult survivors of historic childhood abuse, childhood sexual abuse, adult survivors of parents with alcohol use dependency [alcoholics], military service veterans / serving military personnel and members of the Emergency Services.

“Trauma is not what happens to you, it’s what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you. Trauma is that scarring that makes you less flexible, more rigid, less feeling and more defended.” Dr Gabor Mate
