Rob McClintock Counselling
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Dip Counselling ACA, Clinical Hypnotherapist ASCH,
Trauma doesn't just live in your memories - it becomes embedded in your nervous system, creating hypervigilance, flashbacks, emotional numbness, and a constant sense of threat that can make daily life feel unsafe. Whether from a single traumatic event or ongoing experiences, trauma rewires your brain to prioritize survival over connection and joy. Having worked through my own trauma and its role in addiction and depression, I understand how these experiences can fragment your sense of self and make healing feel impossible. My approach to trauma uses Subconscious Dynamics™ to gently access and process traumatic memories stored in the subconscious, allowing your nervous system to finally recognize that the danger has passed. This method helps you integrate traumatic experiences without re-traumatisation, transforming them from sources of ongoing pain into sources of strength and wisdom. The goal isn't to forget what happened, but to free yourself from its ongoing grip on your life.

PTSD/Trauma
Ronnie Adamowicz
Therapist, M.A. Psych
work with trauma and PTSD using a somatic, nervous-system-informed approach that recognises how traumatic experiences are held in the body, not just remembered in the mind. Trauma can show up as hypervigilance, emotional numbness, anxiety, shutdown, intrusive memories, or a sense of being stuck in survival mode. These patterns are adaptive responses to overwhelming experiences and deserve care rather than force or re-exposure.
In somatic psychotherapy, we focus on building safety, regulation, and capacity before processing difficult material. Sessions move at a pace guided by your nervous system, helping to restore a sense of choice, embodiment, and stability. Over time, this approach supports integration rather than retraumatisation, allowing symptoms to soften and life to feel more spacious and grounded.
This work can be especially supportive for developmental trauma, complex PTSD, or when trauma is layered with anxiety or depression.

Rita El Alaoui
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapy diploma, reiki master diploma.
When trauma happens early or often, it shapes how you see yourself and the world. You might struggle with trust, feel "different" from others, or carry a deep sense of shame. It's not just one memory, it's a blueprint for survival that's outlived its purpose.
Healing complex trauma takes time, and it takes safety. Hypnotherapy offers a gentle, gradual path to reparent those wounded parts and build a foundation of self-trust and security. We go at your pace. Always.
You are not broken. You are just healing.

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.
