Nic Tovey
Counsellor/Therapist, Counsellor,Psychotherapist
In the words of Dr Gabor Mate, "trauma is not what happens to us, it is how we respond to what happens to us." Trauma can look like many things and so it is important that we don't undermine our own experiences and our response to our experience. As someone who has experienced violent trauma in my early life and subsequently healed from PTSD, I acutely understand the grip it can have over your life.

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.
