What is trauma therapy and how does it work?

Trauma therapy helps you process and integrate traumatic experiences that continue to affect your present. We use trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches that prioritise your safety and go at your pace — you are never pushed to relive more than you are ready for.

Do I need to talk about the trauma in detail?

No. Many effective trauma therapy approaches — including somatic therapy and parts-based work — do not require detailed retelling of events. We focus on what is needed for healing, at a pace that feels safe to you.

What is the difference between trauma and PTSD?

Trauma refers to distressing experiences that overwhelm our capacity to cope. PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is a specific clinical diagnosis that can develop after trauma, characterised by flashbacks, avoidance, hypervigilance and emotional dysregulation. You can have trauma without a PTSD diagnosis and still benefit significantly from therapy.

Signs You May Be Carrying Trauma

Trauma doesn't always look like what you expect

Unprocessed trauma can show up in many ways. These are some of the most common signs.

Flashbacks, nightmares or intrusive memories of past events

Feeling numb, disconnected from yourself or others

Hypervigilance — being constantly on edge or easily startled

Difficulty trusting people or forming close relationships

Chronic shame, self-blame, or the feeling that something is fundamentally wrong with you

Physical symptoms — tension, pain, fatigue — with no clear medical cause

If any of these resonates — healing is possible. You don't have to keep carrying this alone.

Our Approach

Healing that goes beyond talk therapy alone

Our work integrates evidence-based approaches including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), alongside mindfulness and somatic regulation techniques — all adapted to meet you where you are.

Trauma can shape both how we think and how we feel in our bodies. By working with both mind and body, we support a gentler, more integrated process of healing — one that unfolds at your own pace.

Integrating talk therapy with somatic work through SP

Mindfulness to develop present-moment awareness

ACT to build flexibility and resilience

Trauma-focused CBT and meaning-making

Always guided by safety, choice, and collaboration

"I finally feel free from what happened to me."

What to Expect

The trauma healing journey

Safety & Trust First

Before anything else, we build a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship. You are never pushed. We go entirely at your pace.

Stabilisation

You'll develop grounding tools, regulation techniques and internal resources — so you feel stable enough to do deeper work.

Processing at Your Pace

Using trauma-informed methods, we gently help you process and integrate traumatic material — reducing its charge and impact.

Integration & New Narrative

Trauma becomes part of your story rather than the whole of it. You develop a new sense of self and a more hopeful relationship with the future.
