Sam Duran
Counsellor/Therapist, MAMFT, RCC, EMDR-Trained
Trauma can continue to affect daily life long after the experience itself has passed, sometimes through intrusive memories, heightened alertness, avoidance, emotional numbness, sleep difficulties, or changes in relationships. I provide trauma-informed counselling and EMDR therapy to help clients process distressing experiences, reduce their ongoing impact, and develop a greater sense of stability and control in their lives.

Rawda Tomoum
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, CGT
Trauma can take many forms. It may come from physical or sexual harm, but it can also develop through betrayal by a spouse or friend, ongoing unsafety in relationships, emotional neglect, or wounds endured while growing up. These experiences can affect how safe you feel, how you relate to others, how you talk to yourself and how your mind and body respond in the present. I help you understand these responses and where they come from, and I help you process what happened and regain a greater sense of safety, choice, and control. You do not have to carry these open wounds forever. They can be scars from the past that no longer dictate your today or tomorrow.

I worked with a specialist organisation for five years with sexual trauma and abuse.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Trauma isn't always a single dramatic event. Sometimes it's the accumulation of things that were said, things that happened, things that should have been there and weren't. Whatever form it took, trauma has a way of shaping how we see ourselves and the world in ways we don't always recognise. I work with people to process what happened at a pace that feels safe, using AEDP and a trauma-informed approach, so it stops running the show.

Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
I offer a steady, compassionate space for working with PTSD—helping you feel safer, regain control, and reclaim daily life. I use both top‑down approaches (like trauma-focused CBT and memory processing to reframe thoughts and beliefs) and bottom‑up methods (such as grounding, breathwork, sensorimotor techniques, and nervous‑system regulation) so we address both cognitive meaning and bodily responses. Together we’ll pace the work to your needs, build safety and resilience, and create practical tools for coping and recovery.

Barbara (Barchi) Fojkar
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCC
Trauma can continue to shape how we feel, relate to others, and experience ourselves long after the original experiences have passed. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space to explore these patterns at a pace that feels manageable. Our work may include nervous-system awareness, mindfulness, parts-based and experiential approaches, and clinical hypnotherapy when appropriate, with the aim of helping you feel safer, more connected to yourself, and more able to move forward.

Victoria Jade Karra
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, CTP, CSTS
Trauma can impact how you relate to yourself, others, emotions, safety, and the world around you. I recognize the vulnerability and courage involved in turning toward painful experiences and the protective patterns that may have developed in response to them. Therapy can become a compassionate and grounded space to explore these experiences with greater safety, self-understanding, and support while moving toward healing, authenticity, and meaningful change.
As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Shame-Informed Treatment Specialist, I integrate an understanding of the emotional, relational, and nervous system impacts of trauma while tailoring therapy to your unique experiences, strengths, needs, and pace.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Experiences of trauma and PTSD can have a lasting impact on how you feel in your body, your emotions, and your sense of safety in the world. You might notice symptoms such as flashbacks, intrusive memories, nightmares, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, anxiety, or feeling easily overwhelmed or triggered. Trauma can also affect relationships, self-trust, and the ability to feel present or grounded in daily life.
In our work together, we’ll prioritize safety and choice at every step. Rather than pushing into distressing material too quickly, we’ll first focus on building stability, grounding, and resources to support your nervous system. When appropriate, we will gently process traumatic experiences in a way that feels contained and manageable, always guided by your readiness and capacity.
I draw from approaches such as EMDR, IFS, ACT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. EMDR can be especially helpful in processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity, while other approaches support regulation, self-compassion, and reconnection to self and body. Together, we’ll work toward a greater sense of safety, integration, and ease in your daily life.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
