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.

Understanding trauma and trauma diagnoses such as PTSD is crucial for any successful therapy. Our therapists have many years experience in working with trauma and its consequences, whether that be a one-off traumatic incident or cumulative traumas that may result in a diagnosis of Complex PTSD. Therapy may include a range of approaches that are well-researched and found to be effective in practice, related to safe graduated exposure therapies or creative therapies that incorporate adjunct therapy such as art therapy or visualisation around recovery.

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.

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.

Traumatic experiences can leave deep emotional and physical imprints, affecting your sense of safety, trust, and connection. Whether your trauma is recent or from long ago, you may be experiencing flashbacks, anxiety, numbness, hypervigilance, or a feeling of being “stuck.”

Together, we work toward restoring safety in the body, building emotional regulation, understanding triggers, and reconnecting with your inner strength and identity.

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.
