Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
I use a tri-phasic trauma treatment model. That means the first phase (roughly 20 sessions) is all about creating emotional stabilisation and a deep sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship. The second phase is where the trauma treatment actually occurs, and this is done with great care, slowness and attunement, in a way that leads to integration of traumatic material.

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.

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.

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.
