PTSD/Trauma
Charlie Young
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC #22791
Trauma counselling here goes at the pace your nervous system can tolerate — trauma's effects are what your system learned to do for protection, and those mechanisms often linger long after the threat has passed, leaving people unable to rest even when nothing is wrong, or unsafe in their own body. I work with both single-event trauma and the kind that accumulates over a childhood, a relationship, or years of discrimination, and the pacing is the same either way: stability first, then slowly stepping into what feels safe at your own pace. Trauma lives in the body as much as in memory, so somatic work — attention to breath, tension, and what your nervous system is doing in the room — is part of how I work, and I check in constantly about pace so you never have to touch anything you don't want to. I'm a queer and trans RCC providing virtual therapy across BC, so if you've tried trauma therapy that pushed too hard too fast, or want to do this work with someone who understands the queer and trans context it happened in, that's what I offer — and I'll use your name and pronouns from our first contact. Sessions are 50 minutes by secure video and for trauma work I recommend starting weekly or every other week; during the free 15-minute consult we'll talk about what brings you to counselling and how I can help.

Karen Baker
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CTP Dipl
Complex trauma (CPTSD) often develops not from a single event, but from prolonged relational environments where safety, attunement, or consistency were missing. I work with the lasting imprints of this kind of trauma — chronic overwhelm, difficulty trusting or setting boundaries, and a fragmented sense of self — using an attachment-based, somatic, and Polyvagal-informed approach. Rather than just managing symptoms, we work toward understanding and integrating what those early experiences shaped, at a pace your nervous system can sustain.

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.

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.

Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
Trauma is both a mental and physiological experience that manifests differently for each person, and at Nightingale Counselling we approach trauma therapy with the understanding that simply acknowledging the presence of trauma and choosing to address it is already an act of profound courage. Our therapists draw from a range of evidence-based modalities including EMDR, Narrative Exposure Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, tailoring the approach to each client's unique history, cultural background, and therapeutic needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Whether the trauma stems from abuse, a single distressing event, or a lifetime of complex relational harm, our trauma-informed team is committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where clients can begin to process the past, reduce the intrusion of painful memories, and reclaim a life that feels lighter and more fully their own.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
I use internal famoky systems therapy to help people heal trauma. This is an empirically validated approach to help not just with trauma but also a number of other mental health struggles such as addiction, anxiety, depression, and self-worth. It helps people heal by connected to and experiencing ones true self. This is a very experiential approach that is provides people with the space to do deep healing work.

Trauma and PTSD is greatly helped when the central nervous system/brain is reset from "fight-flight-freeze-collapse". Trauma can live in the unconscious mind, nervous system/brain for years as the mind and the body do not know that the trauma is over. Neurofeedback and hypnosis disconnect trauma.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Trauma refers to the emotional and psychological impact of experiencing distressing or life-threatening events. It can arise from various situations, including accidents, abuse, natural disasters, or the loss of a loved one. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a specific mental health condition that may develop after experiencing or witnessing trauma. Individuals with PTSD often face symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and emotional numbness, which can disrupt daily life and relationships. It's important to understand that trauma affects everyone differently, and recovery is possible. Seeking support from mental health professionals, engaging in therapy, and connecting with support groups can be vital in the healing process. By acknowledging and addressing trauma, individuals can work toward reclaiming their lives and finding a path to resilience and healing.

Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Trauma doesn't stay in the past; it lives in the body, in the nightmares and flashbacks, in the hypervigilance that never lets you fully rest, in the numbness that keeps everyone at arm's length. What happened to you was not your fault, and how you've survived makes sense. You'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here where safety and trust come first, always, and where we move only at your pace. Drawing on approaches like EMDR, the goal isn't just to manage symptoms, it's to help your mind and body finally understand the danger has passed, so you can genuinely reconnect with yourself and the people you love. Together we'll work toward feeling more grounded, safer in your own skin, and more equipped to live fully in the present.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
The effects of trauma can show up in many ways, including anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Often, these responses developed as ways of coping with experiences that felt too much, too fast, or too painful.
In therapy, we can move at a pace that feels right for you. Some sessions may focus on building a foundation of safety, trust, and emotional regulation, while others may involve deeper processing through approaches such as EMDR or parts work. Together, we can work toward helping you better understand yourself, reconnect with your emotions, and cultivate a greater sense of safety and self-trust.
