Counselling

Trauma and PTSD

You may feel watchful, avoid reminders or find that a sound, place or conversation brings an intense reaction. Some people experience intrusive memories or feel disconnected. These experiences do not establish a diagnosis, but they are worth taking seriously.

Choice and pace in trauma counselling

We start by understanding what feels manageable now and what helps you feel able to stay with a conversation. You do not have to give a detailed account at the first meeting. We can explore how past experiences affect daily life, trust and relationships, with ongoing choices about pace and focus.

I am trained in the Rewind Technique. Read about Rewind Therapy and we can discuss whether it is suitable for you. We will also consider whether other specialist support would be helpful. For more information about Rewind, visit the International Association for Rewind Trauma Therapy (IARTT).
