Trauma Counselling

Trauma isn’t just what happened to you — it’s what happened inside you as a result. For many people, the impacts of trauma show up years later as anxiety, overwhelm, emotional shutdown, people-pleasing, anger, numbness, or feeling “not yourself.” Trauma can come from childhood experiences, emotionally immature parents, relationship wounds, neglect, medical or birth trauma, betrayal, or years of living in survival mode. You may find yourself easily triggered, exhausted from holding everything together, shutting down emotionally, struggling with boundaries, feeling unsafe in relationships, or carrying guilt, shame, and self-blame.

Many people feel disconnected from their bodies, unable to relax, or stuck in old patterns they can’t seem to break. Trauma counselling offers a safe, steady space to begin healing — whether you're coping with childhood trauma, emotional neglect, toxic family systems, complex trauma (C-PTSD), people-pleasing, dissociation, anxiety, panic, or long-term nervous system dysregulation. Healing begins when you no longer have to carry it all alone.

How Counselling Can Help You Overcome Trauma

IFS (Internal Family Systems)

We gently work with the parts of you that carry pain, fear, shame, anger, or protectiveness.
Trauma doesn’t get forced out — it gets healed when the parts holding it finally feel safe.

Inner Child Healing

Trauma often lives in younger parts of you who never felt protected or emotionally held.
We help you reconnect with them gently and compassionately.

Nervous System Regulation

Tools to help your body shift out of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn — and into safety, grounding, and calm.

Attachment-Informed Therapy

We explore how early relationships shaped your beliefs about safety, love, trust, and connection.

Slow, Safe, Non-Overwhelming Work

No re-traumatizing. No pressure.
Healing happens at the pace your nervous system can tolerate.
