Trauma Counselling
Trauma counselling in Sans Souci helping you feel safe and empowered in your life and relationships.
Trauma impacts the body and brain and is a natural response to a life threatening and overwhelming situation or series of events. You deserve to feel safe, calm and confident in clarity of thought. A therapist with sensitivity in Sans Souci. I’ll help you feel safe and build trust toward and support you in your relationships. Start your journey towards healing.
You believe you are damaged by the event or events you’ve experienced and you think this is a permanent way to live and can never feel safe again.
Your thinking and state of being is overwhelmed, which is expressed as disorganised and fragmented, recounting events is hard and patchy making it difficult to process meaning.
You’re on high alert or feel flat, in a state where you’re easily triggered and don’t know what to do, it seems that middle ground to respond is not available.
What you want is safety, to feel safe in your thoughts, emotions and relationships to support yourself and soothe yourself when feeling distressed.
As your counsellor, therapy can help you learn tools and strategies to cope, develop resilience and process what’s difficult toward a more fulfilling and enriching life.
