Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Trauma can arise from many different experiences, and its effects are often carried not only in our memories, but also in our bodies, relationships, and sense of ourselves. Many people who have experienced trauma have also experienced misunderstanding, leaving them to carry the weight of their experiences alone.
I approach trauma therapy with great care, recognising that healing cannot be rushed. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels safe and manageable, building trust, strengthening your internal and external resources, and listening closely to your nervous system. When the time is right, we can gently explore traumatic experiences in ways that support integration rather than overwhelm.
My approach is grounded in understanding before fixing. I believe that the therapeutic relationship provides a steady foundation from which healing can unfold. Trauma work is rarely linear, and there is no right way to move through it. Throughout the process, my role is to accompany you with patience, respect, and compassion as you gradually reconnect with your own resilience, agency, and capacity for living more freely.

Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
I use a tri-phasic trauma treatment model. That means the first phase (roughly 20 sessions) is all about creating emotional stabilisation and a deep sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship. The second phase is where the trauma treatment actually occurs, and this is done with great care, slowness and attunement, in a way that leads to integration of traumatic material.

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.

Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
Both childhood trauma and that which comes from a recent shock can be immensely hard to live with. The good news is that you don't have to delve into old wounds or relive past events. Trauma is held in the body and it is through the body that it can be released. Sudeva is experienced in trauma work, he is a Certified Practitioner in Somatic Experiencing (Peter Levine's work) and has further trained in NARM, Attachment Theory and IFS.

Adima Hawkes
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.
