Christina Taylor Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Counselling, BA Psychology, BA Hons Literature Grad Diploma Education
Trauma can be both relational/attachment trauma or it may be through traumatic events such as neglect, abuse, domestic violence (witnessed or experienced). It may be through war, through refugee status or bullying at work or in the home. It can create what is known as PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), C-PTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Disorder) or in those with major trauma DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). These traumatic events require a trained and accredited therapist to deal with the healing of the psyche. I am trained at Master level to work wit all cases of Trauma.

Adima Hawkes
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
In many cases, but not all, a traumatic imprint leaves a following stress disorder, which sit in one's life until another force meets it and can change it. Developmental trauma from early childhood and also recent shock trauma, both can be hard to regulate on one's own. Nowadays trauma therapy offers many different ways and views to work through the body. The very good news is that you do not need to dive back into the trauma or its story but we can release the psychosomatic disorders from the soma of the body. Over the past 25 years I have thoroughly studied and also met some of the leading heads of trauma therapy. I am not certified for a professional hat but work in accordance with the insights of SE, Developmental Trauma, NARM, Poly Vagal Theory and IFS. My husband Sudeva is certified, if you prefer to work with someone who actually wears the professional hat, look at his profile here on Therapy Tribe.

Dabaco Doldissen
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDip Gestalt Therapy
I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist that is skilled in helping a client stay within their window of tolerance when talking about experiences that activate their emotional body and nervous system. Effective therapy occurs in the middle zone of activation, not too comfortable but also not too upset. It's my job to help my clients to build capacity and regulation tools to stay in that middle zone so their experience can be processed in a healthy and empowering way.

Ronnie Adamowicz
Therapist, M.A. Psych
work with trauma and PTSD using a somatic, nervous-system-informed approach that recognises how traumatic experiences are held in the body, not just remembered in the mind. Trauma can show up as hypervigilance, emotional numbness, anxiety, shutdown, intrusive memories, or a sense of being stuck in survival mode. These patterns are adaptive responses to overwhelming experiences and deserve care rather than force or re-exposure.
In somatic psychotherapy, we focus on building safety, regulation, and capacity before processing difficult material. Sessions move at a pace guided by your nervous system, helping to restore a sense of choice, embodiment, and stability. Over time, this approach supports integration rather than retraumatisation, allowing symptoms to soften and life to feel more spacious and grounded.
This work can be especially supportive for developmental trauma, complex PTSD, or when trauma is layered with anxiety or depression.

Rob McClintock Counselling
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Dip Counselling ACA, Clinical Hypnotherapist ASCH,
Trauma doesn't just live in your memories - it becomes embedded in your nervous system, creating hypervigilance, flashbacks, emotional numbness, and a constant sense of threat that can make daily life feel unsafe. Whether from a single traumatic event or ongoing experiences, trauma rewires your brain to prioritize survival over connection and joy. Having worked through my own trauma and its role in addiction and depression, I understand how these experiences can fragment your sense of self and make healing feel impossible. My approach to trauma uses Subconscious Dynamics™ to gently access and process traumatic memories stored in the subconscious, allowing your nervous system to finally recognize that the danger has passed. This method helps you integrate traumatic experiences without re-traumatisation, transforming them from sources of ongoing pain into sources of strength and wisdom. The goal isn't to forget what happened, but to free yourself from its ongoing grip on your life.

Katie Feder
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Psychotherapist, BSc Hons Psychology
Trauma and PTSD can feel like invisible scars that affect every aspect of your life. Whether it's from a past relationship, a difficult childhood, or a specific traumatic event, the impact can leave you feeling overwhelmed, unsafe, and disconnected from your sense of self. But healing from trauma is possible, and it’s a journey toward reclaiming your peace and power.
I support women who are navigating the effects of trauma and PTSD, helping them process their experiences, reconnect with their bodies, and restore emotional balance. We’ll work together to unravel the deep-seated patterns of fear, shame, and self-doubt, and begin the process of healing your nervous system so you can feel safe, grounded, and empowered.
While trauma can leave lasting effects, healing is not just about reliving painful memories—it’s about rebuilding your sense of safety, self-worth, and resilience. Through practical tools, emotional support, and guidance, I help you step into a future where you are in control of your life, with a renewed sense of strength and clarity.
Healing from trauma takes time, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to guide you through the process, helping you reclaim your life, your peace, and your personal power.

Wonderful Mess
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Social Work, Diploma of Counselling
Trauma and PTSD are topics that are very close to my heart because I didn't realise mental health was a thing until I went through the devastation of these two words. I am awaiting further training on EMDR and somatic therapy because, from my experience, trauma takes over the whole body and I want to offer options to my clients that go further than talk therapy and aim to look within the body, at these unprocessed emotions and feelings and give them a way out.

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.

Sydney's high cost of living, competitive job market, and population density create significant ongoing stress for residents, with therapists frequently addressing housing anxiety, burnout, and the pressures of maintaining relationships in a fast-paced city. The city has large Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Lebanese communities, and culturally competent and multilingual therapists are in consistent demand across its diverse suburban and inner-city neighbourhoods. Sydney's mental health landscape is supported by institutions including Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the Black Dog Institute at UNSW, with a large private therapy community serving the CBD, Inner West, Northern Beaches, and Eastern Suburbs. Medicare rebates through Mental Health Treatment Plans make a significant number of sessions partially subsidised for eligible residents.
