Kevin Martin
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, BACP, ITTA, EA
Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) stems from prolonged, repeated trauma—typically occurring over months or years when escape was difficult or impossible, such as childhood neglect, emotional/physical abuse, domestic violence, or long-term exploitation.
Core Distinctions & Symptom Clusters
Emotional Dysregulation: Severe difficulty managing emotional responses, leading to intense mood swings, explosive anger, persistent sadness, or prolonged emotional numbing.
Negative Self-Concept: Deep-seated, pervasive feelings of worthlessness, shame, guilt, or feeling fundamentally broken or "different" from others.
Relational Difficulties: Chronic struggles with interpersonal relationships, including profound trust issues, fear of intimacy, or repeating unhealthy relational patterns.
Emotional Flashbacks: Unlike visual PTSD flashbacks, these involve sudden, intense regressions into the overwhelming feelings of childhood or past trauma (e.g., intense fear, smallness, hopelessness) without a clear visual memory.

Dr Malgorzata Milewicz
Registered Psychotherapist, HCPC Registered; UKCP Registered
Trauma can take many forms. It may follow a single overwhelming event, develop through ongoing traumatising relationships or circumstances, or arise from experiences earlier in life that affected your development and sense of safety. Its effects can continue to shape how we feel, relate and respond long after the experiences themselves have passed.
Sometimes the impact of trauma is difficult to reach through words alone. Alongside relational psychotherapy, my training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy allows us, where appropriate, to pay attention to embodied responses and patterns, while working at a pace that feels manageable.

Nicholas Millet
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapy (UKCP trainee), BACP (Individual Member)
Trauma can trap painful past experiences in the present, leaving you hyper-vigilant, emotionally overwhelmed, or completely shut down. Using a safe, paced approach, we work to help your nervous system recognise that the danger has passed. By gently integrating these fragmented memories, we help you break free from survival mode and feel at home in your body and life again.

Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
Both childhood trauma and that which comes from a recent shock can be immensely hard to live with. The good news is that you don't have to delve into old wounds or relive past events. Trauma is held in the body and it is through the body that it can be released. Sudeva is experienced in trauma work, he is a Certified Practitioner in Somatic Experiencing (Peter Levine's work) and has further trained in NARM, Attachment Theory and IFS.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults affected by trauma, including post-traumatic stress and complex trauma. Traumatic experiences can continue to shape how people respond internally and in relationships, often long after the original events have passed.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how trauma is held and organised internally, including protective responses that may have developed over time. Rather than assuming readiness or direction, sessions focus on understanding what is present and how different internal responses interact. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most manageable and useful.

Donna Collins
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc (hons), PGDip, SupervisionDip
Trauma, when held as energy in the body can bring unwanted reactions to present day events and feelings of being out of control and helpless. Working with your body to release this energy can help you to move forward in life. I will be able to support you so that you can start to feel less activated and calmer with a new found sense of a lighter and more possible future.

Eric C Bettelheim
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, MSc., J.D., M.A. A.B. Member: BACP, BPC.
Trauma is foundational to a wide variety of distress and is most resistant to change if experienced in early childhood. PTSD severity is inked to childhood trauma and should be understood in that context.

Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
Traumatic events can be very difficult to come to terms with, but trying to disentangle and confronting your feelings and getting professional help is often the only way of effectively treating PTSD. Traumata can also be micro-traumata that we need to make sense of.

Karine Flynn
Psychologist, MSc, GMBPS
Trauma isn't only what happened - it's what the body didn't get to finish in response to what happened. Whether you're carrying the weight of a single overwhelming event or a lifetime of experiences that were never safe enough to fully process, this work meets you in the body rather than in the narrative. We create enough safety for your nervous system to complete those unfinished cycles - without re-traumatisation, without overwhelm, and without requiring you to relive what you've already survived.

Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
PTSD is fundamentally a nervous system injury; the body gets stuck in incomplete survival responses. SE helps the body gradually complete those responses, discharge stored survival energy, and return to regulation. This makes it especially suited for trauma resolution.
