Trauma and PTSD
Kyle Davies
Psychologist, BSc MPhil CPsychol AFBPsS
Trauma is the buzzword is the therapeutic world at the moment, and about time too. Trauma research has shown that trauma in early life can contribute to a host of mental and physical health challenges throughout our lives and needs
I adapt a somatic, psych-spiritual approach to trauma rather than a cognitive approach. We heal trauma through the body, by reconnecting with the body and learning to feel safe with our feelings and emotions.

My name is Heather Bradley and I am a Trauma Therapist. Having worked in this area for over 10 years I do understand just how radically experiencing trauma can impact your life and create feelings of loneliness, confusion and despair. PTSD and CPTSD can leave you feeling so out of control impacting relationships, work and your relationship with yourself. Together we journey from where you are now to a life that has clarity, meaning and purpose. Flashbacks, night terrors, panic attacks, going numb, spacing out, leaving your body etc can all become a thing of the past as you gain control over your life and live in the present moment more. I work in such a way that traumatic memories are resolved at the root and stored differently in your brain. This means when you are triggered, the memory is no longer "live" to flash back to. We understand on a deep level that the trauma is over and you are safe. I also work with what we store in the body. Implicit memories are tough because we find out body reacting to things that we might not consciously know about. We can work with this too and bring you back to feeling safe in your body. I have personally overcome my own Traumas and CPTSD and so I truly know how daunting this journey is but also I truly know what is possible to achieve. For more information please feel free to visit my website and reach out to me for a free informal chat where we can see if we are a good fit for one another therapeutically. You can also ask me any questions you may have about doing therapy together. I very much look forward to hearing from you. With warm wishes, Heather.

Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are unfortunately way more common than many people think. A strong link has been found my many studies between ACEs and physical and mental health problems in later life. Traumatic experiences can also take place in adolescence and adulthood. For some, the impact is greatly distressing and life-limiting, such as in the cases of having post-traumatic-stress disorder.
Many of the people I have come to work with have lived through often multiple adversities and traumatic experiences, throughout their lives. I offer a confidential space where we can think together about the way such experiences have affected you and the parts of you that can change and develop in order to integrate and move on from past traumas.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have an extensive background in trauma through my work with young people & adults around sexual abuse/assault, domestic violence & childhood trauma/neglect. My trauma informed practice gives me the basis for understanding & supporting people through trauma. My experience has helped me to understand that trauma is a very unique & individualized experience. For some people, trauma can appear small or unimportant (like a car accident) however to me, all trauma is experienced by the individual as traumatic for them, so whether it is perceived by others as small or unimportant it is important, & valid, for the person for whom the experience was traumatic. I have found that this understanding has been vital in my trauma work & has helped me to support people with all types of trauma. Building the therapeutic relationship, again, is important in this work to create a collaborative, safe & comfortable environment for my clients to share & heal.

Donna Collins
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc (hons), PGDip, SupervisionDip
Trauma, when held as energy in the body can bring unwanted reactions to present day events and a feeling of being out of control and helpless. Working with your body to release this energy can help you to move forward in life. I will be able to support you so that you can start to feel less activated and calmer with a new found sense of a lighter and more possible future.
