Vicky Mould
Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited Professional Registrant (PNCPS Acc.)
The effects of trauma can be very distressing and shape how you think, feel, and relate to others around you. But trauma doesn't always lead to a diagnosis of PTSD. And you don't have to have this diagnosis to benefit from the counselling we could do together. I work in a trauma-informed way, prioritising your sense of safety and trust in our counselling relationship. And I can offer a space where you can relieve that sense of overwhelm, find your coping, and gently work through the experiences underlying the trauma. You're welcome to get in touch with any questions or to book a consultation to explore if I'm the right counsellor for you.

Emma Dean
Therapist, MA Hons, DipCaH, PNLP
I help people who have experienced trauma or PTSD feel safe, supported, and empowered to reclaim their lives. Trauma can live in the body and nervous system long after the events have passed, affecting how we think, feel, and relate to the world. Using integrative, trauma-informed approaches — including hypnotherapy, breathwork, meditation, and gentle somatic techniques — I help you process and release stored tension, build resilience, and restore a sense of safety and agency. Together, we create a pathway toward healing that is paced, compassionate, and deeply personal.

Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms a person's ability to cope. It can result from various experiences, including accidents, natural disasters, war, abuse and loss. PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Complex PTSD stems from prolonged or repeated trauma, often occurring during childhood - it includes symptoms of PTSD along with additional difficulties such as emotional regulation issues, dissociation and interpersonal problems. Somatic resources focus on the body and it's sensations, aiming to release trauma stored in the physical self. Techniques include breath work, movement, touch and awareness exercises. These methods help clients reconnect with their body, fostering a sense of safety and presence. Using parts work, based on the IFS model - an evidence based therapeutic model that views the mind as composed of multiple parts, each with their own perspective and roles. It's particularly effective for trauma as it helps clients understand and integrate fragmented selves. Healing occurs as clients learn to listen to and care for wounded parts, reducing the intensity of protector parts whose symptoms manifest as rigidity, avoidance or intense reactions and unwanted behaviours. Integration involves creating harmony among parts, leading to a more cohesive and balanced self. A trauma-informed approach is grounded in understanding and responding to the effects of trauma. It focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment, emphasising clients' strengths and resilience. Integration involves combining somatic resources, parts work, IFS and trauma-informed care in a flexible and client-centred way. This holistic approach addresses trauma's effects on the body, mind and spirit, fostering comprehensive healing. It is imperative that my clients feel safe and supported in our sessions. I cultivate a warm, non-judgmental environment, respecting your boundaries and pacing. Interventions are tailored to each person's unique needs, incorporating somatic exercises, parts work, IFS techniques, and trauma-informed principles as appropriate. Building resilience involves supporting my client's in developing coping strategies, enhance self-awareness and build supportive relationships.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Birte Nachtwey
Registered Psychotherapist, MD, CORST
Trauma and PTSD are more common than many people think. Terrifying events like accidents or war can cause this. Sexual or emotional abuse are a common causes. It can be a single event or something ongoing over many years to the point that is feels like a normality in which you are trapped. Many victims feel guilt and shame. Some memories are completely blanked out by the brain for many years and come back suddenly, triggered by something, or slowly, sometimes in caareful therapy. Symptoms can be dissociation (part of you goes away), flashbacks (intrusive memories),repeated nightmares, numbness and/or increased anxiety, avoidance (f.ex. of sex, relationships), negative thoughts and moods and altered physical and emotional reactions and behavior..
If you have encountered this and think you may be affected please get help. It is understandable that you don’t feel like dealing with it and want to just push it aside and have nothing to do with it ever again, but if this hasn’t worked too well and it burdens areas of your life like your sex life and your relationship, it is advisable to address this in therapy. You can get help and heal.
