Counsellor/Therapist, BA (hons), Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
Trauma and PTSD have a way of reappearing at different times when we least expect or want it. It can feel like pushing a cork under water. Perhaps you have hidden your experience(s) so far down that no one around you even suspects. As a REWIND therapist I can work on this with you. REWIND does not use long sessions of revisiting past trauma or phobias. It is a quick and effective method using guided imagery and I have seen it transform lives of clients that I have worked with. Please contact me to find out more.

Ulrike Nau-Debor
Psychologist, CPsychol, AFBPsS, HCPC registered
It is so important to work on our trauma because healing and reclaiming one's life is possible. Find someone you feel safe with, who is compassionate and gentle. There is often a connection between childhood trauma and PTSD, so it is worthwhile to not only address recent events (if you are seeking help for a recent trauma) but also to explore any possible links to your past.
I sometimes use EFT (tapping) to help clients with their trauma, along with other modalities. One of the challenges can be reconnecting with one's body and starting to feel safe in it again.
If you suffer from flashbacks, it's crucial to process these memories and integrate them into your life story. You can learn different techniques for dealing with flashbacks and the overall anxiety and depression you may be experiencing.
One major aspect of trauma is that it isn't only about what happened, but also what we made it mean about ourselves and the world. What kind of belief systems did we create to make sense of what happened, how others reacted to it, and how we tried to cope with it? We carry these beliefs forward and continue living according to them, potentially harming or limiting ourselves.
This new belief system disconnects us from who we truly are and undermines our authenticity. To me, healing is about reclaiming your authentic self and living freely again.

Trauma, when held as energy in the body can bring unwanted reactions to present day events and feelings 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.

Trauma is foundational to a wide variety of distress and is most resistant to change if experienced in early childhood. PTSD severity is inked to childhood trauma and should be understood in that context.

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.

Jimi Katsis
Registered Psychotherapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Trauma isn't what happened to you—it's what's still happening inside you because of what happened. It's the hypervigilance that won't turn off. The flashbacks or nightmares. The way certain sounds, smells, or situations throw you right back. Your body holding onto something your mind is trying to forget.
PTSD gets diagnosed when these symptoms meet clinical criteria, but plenty of people carry trauma that never gets labeled. Either way, your nervous system is still responding to a threat that's no longer there. That's what we need to address.
I've spent 35 years working with adults carrying childhood trauma—abuse, neglect, households where you never felt safe. But trauma can also come from single events: accidents, assaults, losses. What matters isn't comparing severity—what matters is that your system got overwhelmed and is still stuck in that survival response.
We work carefully and at your pace. I use approaches like Schema Therapy, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, DBT—whatever actually helps your nervous system understand the danger is over. This isn't about reliving everything in detail. It's about processing what happened in a way that lets your body finally rest.
You're not broken. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it learned to do to keep you alive. We can help it learn something different.

Headline: Healing Where the Story is Stored: A Somatic Path to Trauma Recovery
Beyond Just Talking About It
If you have lived through trauma, you know that the past doesn't just stay in the past. It shows up in your body as a tightened chest, a constant state of "high alert," or a heavy, persistent exhaustion. When traditional talk therapy isn't enough, it’s often because your nervous system is still stuck in a survival loop.
My Approach: Integrated Somatic Therapy
I provide a holistic, bottom-up approach to healing that honors the deep connection between your mind and body. We move beyond the "narrative" of your trauma to address the physical reality of how your body has stored those experiences. Through specialized, embodied practices, we will:
Address Physical Manifestations: Gently track and release the stored tension, chronic pain, or "freezing" responses that keep you stuck.
Facilitate Deeper Processing: By quieting the analytical mind and listening to the body’s "unspoken voice," we create space for emotional release that words alone cannot reach.
Rebuild Safety & Regulation: You will learn tangible tools to settle your nervous system, allowing you to move from a state of "reacting" to a state of resilient presence.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have an extensive background in trauma through my work with young people & adults around sexual abuse/assault, domestic violence & childhood trauma/neglect. My trauma informed practice gives me the basis for understanding & supporting people through trauma. My experience has helped me to understand that trauma is a very unique & individualized experience. For some people, trauma can appear small or unimportant (like a car accident) however to me, all trauma is experienced by the individual as traumatic for them, so whether it is perceived by others as small or unimportant it is important, & valid, for the person for whom the experience was traumatic. I have found that this understanding has been vital in my trauma work & has helped me to support people with all types of trauma. Building the therapeutic relationship, again, is important in this work to create a collaborative, safe & comfortable environment for my clients to share & heal.

Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms a person's ability to cope. It can result from various experiences, including accidents, natural disasters, war, abuse and loss. PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Complex PTSD stems from prolonged or repeated trauma, often occurring during childhood - it includes symptoms of PTSD along with additional difficulties such as emotional regulation issues, dissociation and interpersonal problems. Somatic resources focus on the body and it's sensations, aiming to release trauma stored in the physical self. Techniques include breath work, movement, touch and awareness exercises. These methods help clients reconnect with their body, fostering a sense of safety and presence. Using parts work, based on the IFS model - an evidence based therapeutic model that views the mind as composed of multiple parts, each with their own perspective and roles. It's particularly effective for trauma as it helps clients understand and integrate fragmented selves. Healing occurs as clients learn to listen to and care for wounded parts, reducing the intensity of protector parts whose symptoms manifest as rigidity, avoidance or intense reactions and unwanted behaviours. Integration involves creating harmony among parts, leading to a more cohesive and balanced self. A trauma-informed approach is grounded in understanding and responding to the effects of trauma. It focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment, emphasising clients' strengths and resilience. Integration involves combining somatic resources, parts work, IFS and trauma-informed care in a flexible and client-centred way. This holistic approach addresses trauma's effects on the body, mind and spirit, fostering comprehensive healing. It is imperative that my clients feel safe and supported in our sessions. I cultivate a warm, non-judgmental environment, respecting your boundaries and pacing. Interventions are tailored to each person's unique needs, incorporating somatic exercises, parts work, IFS techniques, and trauma-informed principles as appropriate. Building resilience involves supporting my client's in developing coping strategies, enhance self-awareness and build supportive relationships.

Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
Traumatic events can be very difficult to come to terms with, but trying to disentangle and confronting your feelings and getting professional help is often the only way of effectively treating PTSD. Traumata can also be micro-traumata that we need to make sense of.

London's scale, pace, and cost of living create a high-pressure environment where therapists are in strong demand for burnout, anxiety, work-life imbalance, and the social isolation that can accompany life in a global megacity. The city's extraordinary diversity means therapists with cross-cultural competence and multilingual capability are particularly sought after, especially for communities navigating immigration stress, identity, and belonging. The NHS offers mental health services through its IAPT programme, though many Londoners seek private therapy for greater continuity of care and therapist choice. London's therapy community is one of the largest and most professionally diverse in the world, with practitioners trained across psychodynamic, CBT, integrative, and humanistic traditions.
