Katia Erokhina
Counsellor/Therapist, PACFA Certified Practicing Counsellor, Master’s-qualified Gestalt Psychotherapist
Trauma can affect our sense of safety, emotional regulation, relationships and connection with our bodies. I support adults navigating the effects of trauma and PTSD, including hypervigilance, emotional overwhelm, dissociation, flashbacks and trauma-related nightmares.
I use Gestalt psychotherapy and draw from Miriam Taylor’s work. My approach includes body awareness, grounding, emotional regulation, and looking at how your past experiences affect your life and relationships now. When helpful, sessions can include Gestalt dreamwork, creative or art-based exercises, somatic practices, and practical ways to manage distressing memories, flashbacks, and nightmares.
Therapy is a team effort and moves at your pace. The focus is on helping you feel safer, rebuild trust in yourself, and reconnect with your body.
