Trauma and PTSD
Kyle Davies
Psychologist, BSc MPhil CPsychol AFBPsS
Trauma is the buzzword is the therapeutic world at the moment, and about time too. Trauma research has shown that trauma in early life can contribute to a host of mental and physical health challenges throughout our lives and needs
I adapt a somatic, psych-spiritual approach to trauma rather than a cognitive approach. We heal trauma through the body, by reconnecting with the body and learning to feel safe with our feelings and emotions.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Embark on an extraordinary journey of courageous healing, transforming the echoes of traumatic experiences into the seeds of profound growth and empowerment. Trauma, with its overwhelming and paralyzing presence, holds within it an unexpected doorway to personal development when met with wisdom and the proper support. Unfortunately, many find themselves grappling with the disorienting and immobilizing effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms.
With the honour of guiding thousands through the intricate process of understanding and methodically healing trauma, I cultivate a therapeutic environment that is more than just safe—it's infused with positivity, warmth, and, when appropriate, a touch of fun. While the path to healing trauma may seem daunting, the journey carries immense benefits for those who bravely confront it with wisdom and robust support systems.
Personally, navigating a significant amount of childhood trauma has equipped me with a profound understanding, coupled with over two decades of professional experience, totalling more than 17 thousand hours of sitting with clients in my psychotherapy practice. Today, I draw from this rich tapestry of personal and professional wisdom to extend hope and support to those on their unique path toward a future marked by more significant health and happiness.
Within you lies transformative potential, akin to emerging "superpowers," waiting to be harnessed as you navigate the intricate healing process. If you're ready to face this challenge with courage and embrace the support you deserve, I wholeheartedly invite you to a consultation. Together, let's chart a course toward a future defined by resilience, growth, and the profound realization of your full potential.

Mario Uosis-Martin
Counsellor/Therapist, PGDip Advanced Psychotherapy
Trauma has many forms and faces. When we talk about emotional, and psychological trauma it means we are talking about going through very distressing, frightening or very stressful events. We might find ourselves in situations that were traumatic or we were affected by our experiences of such events. Traumatic events can happen at any time of our lives, from birth to old age; it can cause long-lasting, sometimes lifetime lasting harmful effects. We all are individuals; therefore, everyone has a different reaction to trauma; so, you might notice the effects of it quickly, or a long time (sometimes even decades) afterwards.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychological and physiological condition that is caused by a very frightening or distressing event. There is an old myth that only war veterans can develop PTSD, which is very wrong. For example, a cancer diagnosis, car accident, sexual or physical violence and many other experiences can lead to PTSD. This does not, however, mean that everyone who experiences such life experiences will develop PTSD. People suffering from PTSD often re-live the traumatic event through flashbacks and nightmares. You might experience a lack of concentration or have problems sleeping, perhaps feeling isolated and detached. These symptoms are often persistent and can severally impact your everyday life. Therapy can provide you with a safe space where you will be able to process the traumatic event and your own individual reaction.
