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.

Tawney Bevilacqua
Registered Psychotherapist, Bachelor of Counselling and Integrative Psychotherapy, Bachelor of Gender Studies/Creative Writing
Trauma can be many things. It is a complex experience, which can often be isolating and compounded by relational misunderstanding. Working with trauma is profound, creating shifts in reality which are momentous. That's why this work is slow and nonlinear. The relationship between myself and the client must be strong enough to hold the unpredictability of the process, and I focus on the client's resources as preparation for direct trauma processing. Integration also introduces riches and a reorganisation of self afterwards. This work requires great courage and I have utmost respect for all who are willing to engage with traumatic histories.

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.

Body Sense Psychology
Psychologist, Master of Psychology, Bachelor of Arts (Honours Psychology), Certificate in Sexology
As a psychosexual therapist, I see many clients who have complex PTSD and trauma either from childhood, or adulthood or both. Trauma can come from many places and I've seen clients with relationship, family and workplace trauma. I use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, Schema Therapy, Attachment Based Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I work to understand the context of where you are now, what's happened, who you are, and where you want to get to.
Trauma recovery is often a slow and difficult process so I work with you to identify strategies and solutions that help you achieve healing and growth, whether that's in accepting what is, or recovering from what was.

Our therapists have many years experience in working with trauma and its consequences, whether that be a one-off traumatic incident or cumulative traumas that may result in a diagnosis of Complex PTSD. Therapy may include a range of approaches that are well-researched and found to be effective in practice, related to safe graduated exposure therapies or creative therapies that incorporate adjunct therapy such as art therapy or visualisation around recovery.

Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist |Counsellor| Parenting Coach M.S.P.C | M.A. Counselling | DIP. Parent Coaching
Traumatic experiences can leave deep emotional and physical imprints, affecting your sense of safety, trust, and connection. Whether your trauma is recent or from long ago, you may be experiencing flashbacks, anxiety, numbness, hypervigilance, or a feeling of being “stuck.”
I offer a calm, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive space where you can process your experience gently and at your own pace.
Together, we work toward restoring safety in the body, building emotional regulation, understanding triggers, and reconnecting with your inner strength and identity.
Healing from trauma is possible and you don’t have to do it alone.

PTSD/Trauma
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.
