Trauma & Stress-Related Difficulties
Support for the emotional and psychological impact of difficult life experiences
It is common for people to experience ongoing emotional, psychological, or physical effects following difficult or overwhelming life experiences. While some recover with time and support, others may continue to feel impacted long after the event has passed.
Trauma can arise from a single distressing event or from ongoing experiences such as childhood adversity, domestic and family violence, emotional neglect, or grief and loss.
Common experiences may include:
- Feeling constantly on edge or in survival mode
- Anxiety or hypervigilance
- Emotional overwhelm
- Low self-worth
- Difficulties with relationships or trust
- Avoidance or emotional shutdown
- Grief and loss
- Intrusive thoughts or difficulty switching off
Trauma can affect both the mind and body. Many people notice impacts on sleep, concentration, emotional regulation, mood, relationships, and overall wellbeing.
Areas I commonly support:
- Trauma-related experiences (including childhood and relational trauma)
- Domestic and family violence (FDV)
- Emotional neglect or invalidating environments
- Grief and loss
- Attachment and relational difficulties
- Emotional regulation and self-worth difficulties
- Anxiety and trauma-related stress responses
A trauma-informed approach
Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to make sense of your experiences and work toward greater emotional stability and wellbeing.
My approach is trauma-informed, person-centred, and evidence-based, drawing from approaches such as:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
- Emotional regulation and grounding strategies
- Strengths-based and biopsychosocial approaches
