Trauma and PTSD
Clair Ramsden
Counsellor/Therapist, (Dip.Couns)
Post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma are a result of various life events that can have frightening and unsettling effects. Some of these include car accidents, domestic violence, sexual and emotional abuse. These can affect the brain's ability to recall the events.
The goal of trauma therapy is to help people rewrite their stories and regain a sense of stability and safety.

I understand that Trauma can deeply impact one's sense of self and view of the world. My approach to trauma is informed by the work of Janina Fisher, an expert in treating complex trauma and dissociation, utilising her TIST model (trauma informed stabilisation treatment). I also work with the body using principles of Somatic Experiencing and mindfulness. By integrating these perspectives, I provide a holistic approach that addresses both the psychological and physiological manifestations of trauma. Our sessions offer a safe space to explore traumatic memories and their lingering effects, using body-based interventions and cognitive approaches to facilitate healing. The ultimate aim is to help you regain a sense of agency and wholeness, guiding you through the complexities of trauma recovery.

I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.

Sometimes human beings are faced with truly horrible situations: threat, a fear of death, or witnessing such events. A normal response to these situations is severe psychological disturbance. However, such disturbance usually remits within weeks. Unfortunately for some people the psychological disturbance lasts months, years, and sometimes a lifetime. These disturbances include nightmares, intrusive thoughts, avoidance of situations that resemble the trauma, difficulty relating to other people, withdrawal from social life, and in extreme cases dissociation from reality. The two most common psychological conditions associated with this disturbed response are Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Adjustment Disorder. Psychologists have had more than a hundred years of experience in dealing with these difficulties. In the First World War it was described as shell shock. In the Second World War it was known as combat fatigue. We now know that it is not only those who engage in combat who suffer from these disorders. What we are increasingly understanding is that posttraumatic experiences are a disturbance of memory: the disturbance is that we simply cannot forget the horror we have experienced. Psychologists have developed clear treatment pathways to assist the victims of trauma.
