I am a trauma informed counsellor, with experience of providing trauma informed counselling to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, both recent and historic. I also work with people with disabilities who have experienced trauma, abuse, neglect and exploitation.
I also recognise that trauma comes in many forms and you may not even think of your experiences as "traumatic". The impact on the body is the same, whether the event was big or small. Because it is something that happens in the body, it means it can be transformed, rather than only thinking about it as a static event that can't be altered.
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy, Advanced Clinical Skills in Gestalt Psychotherapy
Some of my most satisfying work is with clients who have experienced trauma, whether complex, developmental trauma or the acute experiences that tend to underlie PTSD. Helping clients understand the neurobiology that underpins their responses to the world often results in them judging themselves less and finding an ability to be more compassionate with themselves.
