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.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, on high alert, or stuck reliving experiences you wish you could move past. If painful memories or their aftermath are shaping your day-to-day life, let's work together to help you feel safe in your body again.
The first step in working with trauma is understanding that your responses make sense — they're not a sign of weakness, but of a nervous system that adapted to survive something hard. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll work at a pace that feels safe for you, using somatic and relational approaches to process what happened and release what your body has been holding. My approach centers safety, self-compassion, and rebuilding trust — in yourself, in others, and in the world around you.
You don't have to carry this alone. Let's take the first step toward healing and feeling whole again.

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.

PTSD/Trauma
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.
