Vicky Mould
Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited Professional Registrant (PNCPS Acc.)
The effects of trauma can be very distressing and shape how you think, feel, and relate to others around you. But trauma doesn't always lead to a diagnosis of PTSD. And you don't have to have this diagnosis to benefit from the counselling we could do together. I work in a trauma-informed way, prioritising your sense of safety and trust in our counselling relationship. And I can offer a space where you can relieve that sense of overwhelm, find your coping, and gently work through the experiences underlying the trauma. You're welcome to get in touch with any questions or to book a consultation to explore if I'm the right counsellor for you.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults affected by trauma, including post-traumatic stress and complex trauma. Traumatic experiences can continue to shape how people respond internally and in relationships, often long after the original events have passed.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how trauma is held and organised internally, including protective responses that may have developed over time. Rather than assuming readiness or direction, sessions focus on understanding what is present and how different internal responses interact. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most manageable and useful.

Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are unfortunately way more common than many people think. A strong link has been found my many studies between ACEs and physical and mental health problems in later life. Traumatic experiences can also take place in adolescence and adulthood. For some, the impact is greatly distressing and life-limiting, such as in the cases of having post-traumatic-stress disorder.
Many of the people I have come to work with have lived through often multiple adversities and traumatic experiences, throughout their lives. I offer a confidential space where we can think together about the way such experiences have affected you and the parts of you that can change and develop in order to integrate and move on from past traumas.

Julie Jenner
Counsellor/Therapist, BA(Hons), NCS Senior Accredited
Trauma and PTSD can impact so many areas of your life and how you view yourself. It can leave you feeling vulnerable and anxious, and can stop you living your life to the fullest. I use a technique called Rewind, which I have seen have fantastic results in overcoming PTSD. It is also used for other areas, such as phobias, and can be hugely powerful in removing a lot of the repeated symptoms that come from deep trauma.

Emma Dean
Therapist, MA Hons, DipCaH, PNLP
I help people who have experienced trauma or PTSD feel safe, supported, and empowered to reclaim their lives. Trauma can live in the body and nervous system long after the events have passed, affecting how we think, feel, and relate to the world. Using integrative, trauma-informed approaches — including hypnotherapy, breathwork, meditation, and gentle somatic techniques — I help you process and release stored tension, build resilience, and restore a sense of safety and agency. Together, we create a pathway toward healing that is paced, compassionate, and deeply personal.

Saffron Marriner
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.

Jayne LESLEY Allen
Therapist, MIBWRT(AC and Coach, TFT DX, NLP Practioner and Coach, Hypnotherapist
Trauma can leave lasting imprints on the brain and body, showing up as anxiety, flashbacks, hypervigilance, or a sense of being stuck in the past. Healing is possible—your nervous system can be guided back into balance. In our work together, I use evidence-based approaches such as BWRT® and neuroscience-based therapies to gently release trauma patterns at their root. I also integrate HeartMath® techniques, which help regulate the stress response, restore heart–brain coherence, and build resilience. The goal is not to erase what happened, but to help you feel safer in yourself, regain control, and move forward with greater calm and strength.

Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
Both childhood trauma and that which comes from a recent shock can be immensely hard to live with. The good news is that you don't have to delve into old wounds or relive past events. Trauma is held in the body and it is through the body that it can be released. Sudeva is experienced in trauma work, he is a Certified Practitioner in Somatic Experiencing (Peter Levine's work) and has further trained in NARM, Attachment Theory and IFS.

We also integrate understanding of Transformative and Social Justice to bring awareness to internalized oppression that can keep survivors looped into dangerous experiences.

Lisa Sanfilippo
Therapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP
Traumatic events can lead to sleeplessness, flashbacks, anxiety, depression or other symptoms in our bodies, in our way of relating to others, and in our habits. We can work somatically- which means that you won't have to rehash all of the most difficult events. We can work with the tools of somatic experiencing: grounding, finding resources, and getting re-oriented to the here and now so that your body, your emotions and thoughts can restore safety. Get in touch and we can discuss- in a gentle and non-invasive way- how we might work together to help you feel some relief from past traumatic events.
