Specialist Trauma Therapy

Trauma is often defined as an emotional response to distressing, life-threating or stressful event that make you feel out of our control or unable to cope. Specialist trauma therapy may be useful if the accident, trauma or illness has changed the way you think about yourself, others or the world.

You may seek support if you or others have noticed changes in the way you respond to situations, behaviour or if you are avoiding certain experiences to prevent feeling a certain way. Working together we will explore how your experiences have shaped how you understand yourself, view others and the way you experience the world.
