Claudia Behnke
Registered Psychotherapist, Ma (Psych), PGDip Psychosynthesis Psychology, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, UKCP accredited
I understand that Trauma can deeply impact one's sense of self and view of the world. My approach to trauma is informed by the work of Janina Fisher, an expert in treating complex trauma and dissociation, utilising her TIST model (trauma informed stabilisation treatment). I also work with the body using principles of Somatic Experiencing and mindfulness. By integrating these perspectives, I provide a holistic approach that addresses both the psychological and physiological manifestations of trauma. Our sessions offer a safe space to explore traumatic memories and their lingering effects, using body-based interventions and cognitive approaches to facilitate healing. The ultimate aim is to help you regain a sense of agency and wholeness, guiding you through the complexities of trauma recovery.

PHOBIAS, PANIC ATTACKS AND POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS
The brain has an emotional alarm system designed to keep us safe. When people suffer from panic attacks, phobias or post-traumatic stress, it is because the system has gone into overdrive.
What happens is this. There is a small, structure in the brain, known as the amygdala (Greek for almond, which is its shape), that has access to our emotional memories and learned responses. It evolved in the distant past and its job is to match new circumstances to what is already in the store and alert us to anything that previously represented a risk and might do so again. In the distant past, this might have been a movement or flash of colour that could have signified an approaching predator. The amygdala would then have triggered changes to help the body get ready to fight or flee the danger – pounding heart, racing pulse, quick, shallow breathing, etc.
Now imagine this. A young woman, who has had a highly stressful day, is waiting in a long supermarket queue, worrying whether she’ll be out of the shop in time to catch the bus to school to collect her little girl. It is one pressure too many. The amygdala responds as if she is under threat and she starts to feel her heart pounding strangely and her breathing quickens. She becomes terrified that she is having a heart attack and that makes the symptoms escalate – her palms sweat; her chest feels as if it is bursting and she struggles to breathe. Soon she feels overwhelmed and may collapse or run out of the shop. The amygdala, fearful that this could happen again, files away the fact that there were bright lights and lots of people queuing when the ‘threat’ occurred. Then, when the woman is queuing in the post office the next day, the bright lights and queue may be sufficient for the over-vigilant amygdala to trigger another panic attack to deal with the new ‘threat’.
Phobias start the same way – the amygdala makes associations with what was going on when a person first felt threatened, not all of which may be relevant. So, while it is understandable that someone who is attacked by a vicious dog may well develop a fear of dogs generally, it could equally be the case that someone develops a fear of broken glass because, on a previous occasion, when they had had a panic attack, there was broken glass lying near to where they collapsed. Agoraphobia develops when someone is too frightened of panic attacks even to leave the house.
In the case of post-traumatic stress, someone who was in the back seat of a car when a collision occurred may find it frightening to travel in the back seat again but there may be other, unconscious, connections with the accident too, such as the smell of petrol. So the person may experience seemingly inexplicable panic when filling up their own car with petrol.
Fortunately, human givens practitioners are taught a simple and effective way to deal with all these circumstances. If a traumatic memory is causing panic attacks, phobias or post-traumatic stress, they can use a powerful, painless visualisation procedure, known as the rewind technique, to take the emotion out of the memory and enable the memory of the event to be stored away as history, instead of as one that continues to intrude on the present. The memory remains, and always will remain, a deeply unpleasant one but no longer is it emotionally arousing. This method can work swiftly and reliably even in the most extreme of cases.

Gui Mansilla
Registered Psychotherapist, Lawyer (Arg) M.Div (USA) Reg. Psychotherapist (CA) Coach (Ca)
Embark on an extraordinary journey of courageous healing, transforming the echoes of traumatic experiences into the seeds of profound growth and empowerment. Trauma, with its overwhelming and paralyzing presence, holds within it an unexpected doorway to personal development when met with wisdom and the proper support. Unfortunately, many find themselves grappling with the disorienting and immobilizing effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms.
With the honour of guiding thousands through the intricate process of understanding and methodically healing trauma, I cultivate a therapeutic environment that is more than just safe—it's infused with positivity, warmth, and, when appropriate, a touch of fun. While the path to healing trauma may seem daunting, the journey carries immense benefits for those who bravely confront it with wisdom and robust support systems.
Personally, navigating a significant amount of childhood trauma has equipped me with a profound understanding, coupled with over two decades of professional experience, totalling more than 17 thousand hours of sitting with clients in my psychotherapy practice. Today, I draw from this rich tapestry of personal and professional wisdom to extend hope and support to those on their unique path toward a future marked by more significant health and happiness.
Within you lies transformative potential, akin to emerging "superpowers," waiting to be harnessed as you navigate the intricate healing process. If you're ready to face this challenge with courage and embrace the support you deserve, I wholeheartedly invite you to a consultation. Together, let's chart a course toward a future defined by resilience, growth, and the profound realization of your full potential.

Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are unfortunately way more common than many people think. A strong link has been found my many studies between ACEs and physical and mental health problems in later life. Traumatic experiences can also take place in adolescence and adulthood. For some, the impact is greatly distressing and life-limiting, such as in the cases of having post-traumatic-stress disorder.
Many of the people I have come to work with have lived through often multiple adversities and traumatic experiences, throughout their lives. I offer a confidential space where we can think together about the way such experiences have affected you and the parts of you that can change and develop in order to integrate and move on from past traumas.

Donna Mitchell
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
I don't have one approach to dealing with trauma. As everyone's trauma is unique, so is the way that we work with it together. Sometimes this involves going back in our minds and unpacking what happened while bringing a sense of safety to the trauma. Sometimes we don't go back to the trauma at all, and instead work with the unhelpful narrative that the trauma may have left you believing. I gently guide you to express your experience in whatever way you need to, so that you can start to feel safer and calmer within your life.

Nick Morecroft Trauma Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP
I feel trauma underlies many of the issues we deal with in adult life. Simply put, trauma is a natural response to stress that forces us to change our behaviour in order to survive. It is a mechanism to keep us safe in the dangerous environments of our ancestors. Due to the way it works, we can often be left with fears from past situations presenting themselves repeatedly at times when there really isn't any danger. Our mind/body generalises about situations that might be close to the past times of stress and can cause a lot of overreaction. Without being addressed, we continue to react in these unhelpful ways and can actually strengthen the fearful reactions through repeat behaviours. Trauma focussed therapy helps to break these reactive behaviours, delivering healing work to the parts originally wounded, dissolving the fear reactions and helping build new healthy reactions.

Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Trauma is the experience not just of what happened to us, but by how our bodies, neurology, and hearts respond to what happened to us. Traumas of 'small t' and traumas of 'big T' both create adaptions to our true selves that can lead in our being 'stuck' in ways that don't serve us, that may create more trauma, or disconnection from our true selves and to our relationships with others. We have multiple ways of healing trauma, including complex traumas, including Flash Therapy, EMDR, hypnosis, somatic work, art therapy and more. Coming back to your true self, perhaps for the first time, is not a journey to be missed.

Donna Collins
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc (hons), PGDip, SupervisionDip
Trauma, when held as energy in the body can bring unwanted reactions to present day events and a feeling of being out of control and helpless. Working with your body to release this energy can help you to move forward in life. I will be able to support you so that you can start to feel less activated and calmer with a new found sense of a lighter and more possible future.
