Karen Baker
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CTP Dipl
Complex trauma (CPTSD) often develops not from a single event, but from prolonged relational environments where safety, attunement, or consistency were missing. I work with the lasting imprints of this kind of trauma — chronic overwhelm, difficulty trusting or setting boundaries, and a fragmented sense of self — using an attachment-based, somatic, and Polyvagal-informed approach. Rather than just managing symptoms, we work toward understanding and integrating what those early experiences shaped, at a pace your nervous system can sustain.

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.

Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
Trauma can continue to affect you long after the events have ended, leaving you feeling anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, hypervigilant, or triggered by situations that seem difficult to explain. Whether your trauma stems from childhood experiences, emotional abuse, narcissistic abuse, or another painful event, together we'll work at a pace that feels safe to process your experiences, reduce the impact of triggers, and help you regain a sense of control. My goal is to help you heal with compassion, rebuild your sense of safety, and move forward with greater confidence and resilience.
