Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Birte Nachtwey
Registered Psychotherapist, MD, CORST
Trauma and PTSD are more common than many people think. Terrifying events like accidents or war can cause this. Sexual or emotional abuse are a common causes. It can be a single event or something ongoing over many years to the point that is feels like a normality in which you are trapped. Many victims feel guilt and shame. Some memories are completely blanked out by the brain for many years and come back suddenly, triggered by something, or slowly, sometimes in caareful therapy. Symptoms can be dissociation (part of you goes away), flashbacks (intrusive memories),repeated nightmares, numbness and/or increased anxiety, avoidance (f.ex. of sex, relationships), negative thoughts and moods and altered physical and emotional reactions and behavior..
If you have encountered this and think you may be affected please get help. It is understandable that you don’t feel like dealing with it and want to just push it aside and have nothing to do with it ever again, but if this hasn’t worked too well and it burdens areas of your life like your sex life and your relationship, it is advisable to address this in therapy. You can get help and heal.

Counsellor/Therapist, PG Cert. Systemic Practice, Dip HE Counselling, PG Cert., Supervision, NLP Practitioner Cert, PG Cert. Teaching in Higher Ed.
Trauma and PTSD are a result of life events were frightening experiences. Some of these experiences include, car accidents, childhood abuse, (emotional, neglect, sexual and physical) rape, domestic abuse/violence, death, and environmental events like fires, earthquakes, floods, and war. These incidents affect the brain’s ability to recall a coherent understanding of the events and the effects can be debilitating. In trauma-therapy, the aim is to help you rewrite the story and regain a feeling of safety and stability.

I work with a lot of people through trauma and PTSD. Most of the people that I have seen have had some major traumas and if not then they have suffered from a develomental trauma. I am attending a training in November 2019 to learn further how to help -people in processing their traumas further and healing from them.

Vicky Mould
Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited Professional Registrant (PNCPS Acc.)
While the effects of PTSD can be debilitating and distressing, recovery from it is possible (yes, it really is), and I'm here for you if you'd like support in that journey. I undertake trauma training regularly as part of my continuing professional development and can facilitate using creative mediums alongside talking - including art. I regard safety as all-important, and I'll work to establish a safe and trusting relationship with you. Traumatic birth, sudden and unexpected bereavement - including baby loss, and sexual or domestic abuse are some of the underlying traumas I can support you with. I can offer a compassionate, non-judgmental and understanding approach and work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. If you'd like to explore counselling together, please get in touch with me to arrange a low-cost consultation.

Julie Jenner
Counsellor/Therapist, BA(Hons), NCS Senior Accredited
Trauma and PTSD can impact so many areas of your life and how you view yourself. It can leave you feeling vulnerable and anxious, and can stop you living your life to the fullest. I use a technique called Rewind, which I have seen have fantastic results in overcoming PTSD. It is also used for other areas, such as phobias, and can be hugely powerful in removing a lot of the repeated symptoms that come from deep trauma.
