Therapy for PTSD and Complex Trauma

All of us have an innate desire to heal from our wounds and seek out a state of contentment. That’s because humans aren’t built to experience trauma. Therapy to overcome trauma requires a safe space to heal from past wounds, where past traumatic experiences can be reprocessed, and new meaning can be found so you can move forward in life with intention.

About this therapy

While trauma might be part of your story, you do not need to be defined by it. In fact, you are stronger than you think. Trauma survivors have internal resources that enable their survival. Therapy can strengthen these resources so you can heal and move towards a more fulfilled and enriched life.

We’re here to help you find healthy ways of coping with life’s difficulties through the integration of your trauma into your broader life story.

Our approach

  • Understand the experience of trauma and how it manifests in adulthood
  • Make sense of your experiences across your lifespan
  • Recognise triggers that activate past traumas
  • Use Breathwork and grounding to down-regulate the nervous system
  • Use experiential therapy techniques to overcome past traumas
  • Manage negative thought patterns and related emotional distress
  • Improve self-compassion
