Trauma and PTSD
Alexina Baldini
Psychologist, B.B.Sc., G.D.A.C.P., M.Psych.(For.), F.A.P.S.
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.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr Shikha Gray
Psychologist, PhD, MPsych(Couns)
Trauma and PTSD can have a profoundly existential effect - on your emotional well-being, relationships, sense of self, the meaning you give to your experiences, and your capacity to cope with everyday stressors. In therapy, I offer comprehensive support to help you regain a sense of safety and control. We start by establishing a safe and nurturing environment where you can learn to cope with difficult feelings as they arise and process them at your own pace. My approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of mind and body, and emphasises a holistic path to recovery where you can reclaim your sense of self and find inner peace.

Trauma and PTSD
Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns), Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
Due to my background in critical incident trauma response, restorative justice, family violence, sexual abuse and mental health, I have a good understanding of all kinds of trauma (recent or past) and how they impact the person including the potential impacts for those around them. I am able to utilise a psycho-educational approach to help you understand your trauma impacts better and learn practical strategies to support increased emotional regulation skills, along with specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session. This comprehensive strategy supports greater healing of the underlying trauma without the need to discuss the details of the trauma. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self, leaving often the carried sense of anger, guilt or shame behind.
My aim is to assist you with your trauma difficulties to restore balance, happiness and inner peace (using the various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods) along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Trauma and PTSD
Haven Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MCounselling
I have worked with trauma and PTSD directly or indirectly in all of my work. I am trauma informed and make sure to work with all my clients within this context. This means working safely, at a pace that is comfortable for you. I want to understand whatever of your story you wish to share, making sure you feel heard and accepted, with compassion and on-judgementally. The first phase of working with trauma is to help you feel safe, and support you in developing ways for you to regulate your emotions better when you are triggered as you move through the world. We will work to understand more clearly what being triggered means for you, and the ways you cope. As we explore those situations that feel upsetting to you, that are often part of a traumatise persons day to day experience, we will work on better understanding the underlying emotional and thought processes that might be trying to protect you, but might also be ultimately getting in the way of you living the life you want. We will approach these experiences carefully, work to better understand these protective mechanisms and then start to develop more healthy ways to approach and tolerate difficult emotions that have their root in past stressful and traumatic experiences.
