Support for Trauma and PTSD
Trauma leaves imprints—not just in memory, but in the body, the nervous system, and the subconscious. I offer a safe, attuned space to explore those imprints with care, clarity, and compassion.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand how deeply trauma can affect relationships, emotional regulation, and daily functioning. My approach is gentle yet effective, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), somatic awareness, mindfulness, and reflective process work to support healing at your own pace.
Areas of Focus Include:
• Complex trauma and early relational wounds
• Single-incident trauma and acute stress
• Military and first responder experiences
• Interpersonal violence and emotional abuse
• Anxiety, panic, and hypervigilance linked to trauma
This work is about restoring a sense of safety—internally and relationally. Together, we’ll explore what’s been held, what’s been silenced, and what’s ready to be released. I prioritize trust, respect, and emotional presence, creating a space where you can feel deeply heard and supported as you reconnect with your strength and resilience.

Donna Wigmore Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, CT
Trauma and PTSD are now understood to be much more common than previously thought. The new research, in particular, by Bessel van der Kolk, has said that trauma is “not the story of something that happened back then, but the current imprint of that pain, horror, and fear living inside [the individual].” These events leave us stuck in a state of helplessness and terror, and results in a change in how we perceive danger. So together we will work to process and release that trauma, emotionally and physically.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
The effects of trauma can show up in many ways, including anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Often, these responses developed as ways of coping with experiences that felt too much, too fast, or too painful.
In therapy, we can move at a pace that feels right for you. Some sessions may focus on building a foundation of safety, trust, and emotional regulation, while others may involve deeper processing through approaches such as EMDR or parts work. Together, we can work toward helping you better understand yourself, reconnect with your emotions, and cultivate a greater sense of safety and self-trust.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Trauma sits in the body and the subconscious, not in the rational mind. For working with traumatic memories, I use the Rewind Technique, an evidence-informed, content-free approach that allows the nervous system to discharge the residue of a traumatic event without requiring you to relive it in detail. This pairs well with RTT for updating the beliefs that formed inside or after the event. If you have a formal PTSD diagnosis or are in active crisis, please work with a trauma-trained clinician as your primary support. I work alongside other providers and am happy to coordinate where appropriate.
