Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) pose significant mental health challenges for clients. In the therapeutic setting, the psychologist provides a safe and supportive space for individuals to embark on their journey of healing from traumatic experiences. Drawing from evidence-based therapeutic approaches, clients are guided through the complicated landscape of trauma and PTSD, fostering emotional recovery and resilience. This therapeutic journey delves into past attachment issues, childhood experiences, and the environmental factors of the past using schema therapy methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Trauma Focussed approaches, Psychodynamic approaches, attachment approaches), fostering a healthy safe therapeutic alliance and tailoring interventions to each client’s unique needs. The central focus is on reconnecting with the vulnerable inner child by exploring trauma incidents, past or present, and unraveling the maladaptive beliefs and coping mechanisms that developed as a result of these traumatic wounds. The aim is to support clients to regain control over their lives, cultivate healthier coping mechanisms for their inner trauma wounds, and rediscover inner peace.

Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
In many cases, but not all, a traumatic imprint leaves a following stress disorder, which sit in one's life until another force meets it and can change it. Developmental trauma from early childhood and also recent shock trauma, both can be hard to regulate on one's own. Nowadays trauma therapy offers many different ways and views to work through the body. The very good news is that you do not need to dive back into the trauma or its story but we can release the psychosomatic disorders from the soma of the body. Over the past 25 years I have thoroughly studied and also met some of the leading heads of trauma therapy. I am not certified for a professional hat but work in accordance with the insights of SE, Developmental Trauma, NARM, Poly Vagal Theory and IFS. My husband Sudeva is certified, if you prefer to work with someone who actually wears the professional hat, look at his profile here on Therapy Tribe.

As a trauma informed therapist I hold your experience gently and work at a pace that is suitable for you to move through your deepest , darkest and most shattering experiences. I use psycho education to keep you informed about the changes in the brain from trauma. Using a combination of Gestalt therapy , Poly vagal theory and other modalities which might suit your particular experience you are taught new ways to navigate triggers and self regulate. With the right support you may be able to integrate what has happened to you rather than the event continually getting in the way of how you would like to be .
