Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
Trauma is the emotional wound that is created in response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event such as the loss of a loved one, or perhaps suffering an accident, abuse or surviving a natural disaster. Equally trauma can result from the drip, drip, drip of negative or abusive circumstances outside our control, that impact our sense of safety, trust and ‘okay-ness’ in the world around us. The emotional impact of trauma can result in long term physical and mental symptoms that make it difficult to function in our everyday lives. It wreaks havoc with our relationships with others. Depression and anxiety very often result from the experience of trauma. Talking therapy can help us to validate our experiences and the feelings, or denial of feelings, that go hand in hand with trauma. In time we can hopefully reframe what causes us to suffer and develop skills to cope, so that we can move forward in our lives.

Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Just because something very difficult and negatively impact-full happened to you doesn't necessarily mean you experienced trauma. Trauma is the bodies way of telling us we have not resolved a past event or period of extreme stress over time. There are steps you can take to change how past events continue to impact you today. Freedom from the past is possible.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed perspective, trauma is what happens when we are unable to cope with the things that happen to us, at no fault of our own. We can understand trauma as being a lack of resources to deal with situations, not a lack of ability, character or willpower. The work we can do will include helping you better understand your trauma, developing healthier and more helpful ways of coping with it, and processing it so that you can be free of the ways that your past is showing up in your present.

Donna Wigmore Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, CT
Trauma and PTSD are now understood to be much more common than previously thought. The new research, in particular, by Bessel van der Kolk, has said that trauma is “not the story of something that happened back then, but the current imprint of that pain, horror, and fear living inside [the individual].” These events leave us stuck in a state of helplessness and terror, and results in a change in how we perceive danger. So together we will work to process and release that trauma, emotionally and physically.

Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
I offer a steady, compassionate space for working with PTSD—helping you feel safer, regain control, and reclaim daily life. I use both top‑down approaches (like trauma-focused CBT and memory processing to reframe thoughts and beliefs) and bottom‑up methods (such as grounding, breathwork, sensorimotor techniques, and nervous‑system regulation) so we address both cognitive meaning and bodily responses. Together we’ll pace the work to your needs, build safety and resilience, and create practical tools for coping and recovery.

Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
work with complex trauma through the lens of NARM, the NeuroAffective Relational Model. NARM understands trauma not as a single event but as the way early relational environments shaped your relationship to yourself, your needs, your boundaries, and your capacity for connection. We work with what is alive in you right now, the patterns your nervous system is still running, rather than asking you to retell or relive the past. This is present-focused, body-informed, and relational at its core.

Adam Manz
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MCP
Trauma can leave lasting imprints on the body and mind—showing up as anxiety, numbness, irritability, or a sense of being “stuck” in old patterns. In therapy, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe, helping you reconnect with a sense of stability and self-trust. My approach draws on nervous system regulation, trauma-informed care, and attachment awareness to support healing that’s both gentle and lasting—so you can begin to feel more grounded, present, and whole.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Trauma and PTSD affect both the mind and the body, often showing up as hypervigilance, emotional overwhelm, numbness, intrusive memories, or physical tension. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy gently engage both body and mind, supporting nervous system regulation, safe processing of experiences, and a gradual restoration of stability, choice, and a sense of safety in the present moment.

Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Healing from trauma is a complex and deeply personal process, but you don’t have to do it alone. My trauma-informed approach uses a combination of techniques such as EMDR, somatic work, and parts work to help you process and release traumatic memories, and re-establish a sense of safety and control. Whether you’re dealing with sexual trauma, PTSD, or complex trauma, I’ll guide you at your own pace through the journey of healing, helping you reconnect to your body, your emotions, and your life.

PTSD/Trauma
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, trauma isn't the thing that happened 15 years ago (or last week), it's the ongoing effects that that incident continues to have on your body.
We can work together to figure out how your body is still reacting to that incident, and work to help your body 'catch up' to the present moment. If you're safer now than you were then, there are ways we can help your body 'complete' the threat response from so long ago, and land in the comparative safety of the present moment.
I can't treat PTSD, so if you've been diagnosed with PTSD you should still work with a licensed mental health professional, even as you work with me. What I can do is support your body in turning down the volume on that threatened feeling that has been coming up since the trauma-inducing events.

Rawda Tomoum
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, CGT
Trauma can take many forms. It may come from physical or sexual harm, but it can also develop through betrayal by a spouse or friend, ongoing unsafety in relationships, emotional neglect, or wounds endured while growing up. These experiences can affect how safe you feel, how you relate to others, how you talk to yourself and how your mind and body respond in the present. I help you understand these responses and where they come from, and I help you process what happened and regain a greater sense of safety, choice, and control. You do not have to carry these open wounds forever. They can be scars from the past that no longer dictate your today or tomorrow.
