I am a trauma therapist working with clients with various trauma experiences. I am a grandmother in my sixties so very little shocks or phases me.
I like chocolate, gin and cake in no particular order.
This is your moment to access therapy for trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, grief and loss to help relieve the emotional distress you're currently enduring, and to help you find ways to live alongside what has happened to you without these feelings controlling your life as they do now.
It's about finding your balance again in a world that feels like an unsafe place for you to be in right now. It's about reconnecting with emotions that you may feel have been destroyed by what happened to you. Reconnecting to being happy, believing in yourself, feeling confident that you can look forward to a bright future where you achieve your dreams and hopes, that you can be loved and valued for being exactly who you are.
People come to trauma therapy for all kinds of reasons; often what has happened to them has involved violence or abuse of some kind which has left them feeling traumatised. Perhaps you're an adult survivor of childhood abuse, perhaps trying to rebuild your life after a violent attack, sexual assault or rape, perhaps you fled a domestically abusive relationship and want to live without fear.
Sometimes people come to trauma therapy for very different reasons, for reasons that others might think can't be traumatic. Perhaps you've experienced or witnessed a traumatic birth, for example, or your baby has had a difficult start to life, perhaps you've lost babies before they even had a chance to live or who died soon after birth, perhaps you're struggling because your baby or child has been significantly unwell with an illness that may affect them for the rest of their lives, perhaps you're struggling to cope with a situation that brought chaos to your life with no warning or where what happened to you in the past has come back to haunt you in the present. Here, if what has happened to you feels traumatic, if it causes you to feel anxious or depressed, you will be believed, helped and supported to get your life back into balance.
If you're uncertain whether therapy is right for you, or you have questions, then do, please, get in touch for a chat. It only takes one call or email to start reclaiming your life.
I am a Pluralistic Therapist so how I work with you is tailored to how therapy has affected you as an individual. Trauma is trapped in the body as much as it is in the brain. In part, this is why flashbacks and triggers play out as physical experiences and not just as memories. Therapy will usually be a combination of cognitive, (for the brain), and somatic, ( for the body), approaches to resolving trauma and aiding recovery. One part of the work will be ensuring you have skills, tools and techniques for the long term as trauma symptoms do sometimes re-emerge temporarily when we are under stress.
