Our specialized counseling and mentoring for Trauma and PTSD in Relationships is designed to support couples where one or both partners are dealing with the effects of trauma or PTSD. We recognize the profound impact that such experiences can have on both the individual and the relational dynamics. Our approach is empathetic and trauma-informed, focusing on creating a safe and supportive space for healing and understanding. We help couples navigate the complexities of trauma symptoms, such as triggers, emotional volatility, and communication barriers. Our therapy includes individual sessions to address personal trauma and joint sessions to foster mutual understanding and support within the relationship. Techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and resilience-building are employed to help manage symptoms and strengthen the relationship. Our goal is to guide couples towards a path of healing, helping them build a stronger, more connected partnership in the wake of trauma.

Trauma is an emotional response to a distressing experience or event/s. How this impacts our being depends on many factors. However, it is common to experience a number of negative experiences; numbness, lack of trust, sadness, flashbacks/nightmares, difficulty concentrating, irritability, exaggerated startle response, hypervigilence.

Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Everyone has trauma. It's part of being alive. And some trauma events can be particularly intense and leave us feeling unsafe in the world. The environment we grew up in, if particularly abusive and dysfunctional, can also be traumatic and cause us to feel unsafe in the world. Trauma shows up in our nervous system responses to people and situations, like being excessively wary and on high alert.
We work to regulate your nervous system, to give it safe resting places and experiences of relaxation. We also work with the underlying trauma itself in a very slow, resourcing way.
