Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
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.

Molly McBride
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, RCC, RTC
When the nervous system is chronically overactivated because of trauma, it can feel like your mind has become programmed to constantly react to danger. Even if you know the danger has past, the body and nervous system may need more convincing. Together in counselling, we’ll work to process trauma, reduce the impact of triggers, and rebuild a sense of safety and balance. Using techniques like EMDR, Internal Family Systems therapy, and hypnotherapy, we’ll focus on building nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and empowering you to move forward with greater peace.

Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
Trauma is usually caused when our needs are not met or we experience a disruption in our lives which has made us feel unsafe or insecure. Looking at the root cause of our trauma helps clients to understand how they have responded to traumatic experiences in their lives. I work toward building safety, emotional regulation, boundaries, self-confidence, coping skills, forgiveness and supports.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Trauma immediately causes a change in our physiology and readies our body to fight, flee or freeze. Trauma embeds itself in our brains and bodies, perhaps partly because of the human will to survive. We have to both understand it and gently take away its power. Trauma is unique: what is traumatic for one person may not be traumatic to another. Trauma causes a miss-match between what we see and reality, causing us to over-react and plunge our bodies into a state of panic: adrenalin flowing and a state of readiness to fight, flee or freeze. Later, our bodies may be plunged into that same hypervigilance for no real reason: that is PTSD. Often we mask how we feel and act how we 'know we should', widening the gap between how we feel inside and what we do. If we don't recognize trauma straight off, and process and heal it, the result of that trauma builds inside us with every new traumatic event, also leading to PTSD. If you have experienced trauma - something that you personally have found traumatic - come explore it. Don't let it take over your life?

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.

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.

Kate Paul
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Trauma and PTSD are my areas of specialization. Trauma may encompass a wide range of human experience and its negative impact on our lives is at times very clear to us and at other times goes unnoticed yet prevents us from living the lives we desire. I employ evidence based approaches recognized by the World Health Organization as being the gold standards due to their proven success. This includes both talk therapy approaches as well as the non-talk therapy of EMDR. My approach is integrative and holistic.

Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. EMDR supports the brain’s natural ability to reprocess trauma, reducing the emotional intensity connected to past events while helping clients develop healthier beliefs, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of safety and empowerment. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-centred approach to trauma therapy that focuses on how trauma is stored within the nervous system and the body. For individuals living with PTSD, this approach helps increase awareness of physical sensations, emotional responses, and survival patterns in a safe and gradual way. By integrating both mind and body in the healing process, clients can build greater emotional regulation, restore a sense of control, and move toward lasting recovery from trauma.

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.

Loralee Schultz
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc Psyc, MACP, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) CRPO & CCPA & BCACC Member
Trauma is not just a collection of painful memories from your past; it lives on dynamically in how your physical body and nervous system react to the present. Whether you are dealing with single-incident trauma or long-term complex trauma (C-PTSD), my approach focuses on creating deep, collaborative safety. Using evidence-based frameworks like EMDR, we gently process distressing memories so they finally lose their sharp emotional charge. Our goal is to de-escalate your body's survival responses, unmask childhood or societal expectations, and help you transition from a state of constant survival into a life of true self-discovery.

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.

Remembering that psychological trauma and secondary trauma are connected to fears, negative attachments of unattended emotional memories of past events, it is important to remind yourself that the trauma is over; you have survived it. Take the time to externalize painful emotions. Re-evaluating and perspective of the past can heal the present, leading to a more positive time for the future.
