Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) therapy
Overcome traumatic events & regain control over your emotions.
What is PTSD?
To understand PTSD, we must first understand trauma. Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event, whether experienced or witnessed. Everyone will respond to trauma in their own way such as shock and denial, unpredictable emotions, strained relationships, flashbacks, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.
Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying event either by experiencing it or witnessing it, leaving the person to continue to have flashbacks and re-experience the traumatic event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

How do you know you’re suffering from PTSD?
Common emotional symptoms are feelings of anxiety and fear in situations that are neither scary nor stressful. You may also suffer from mood swings or have difficulty concentrating on everyday tasks. Common physical symptoms are the inability to sleep or having erratic sleeping patterns such as feeling lethargic or fatigue.

Our approach to PTSD therapy
Our approach is based around building a rapport with you. Your PTSD therapist will work with you to understand how you are feeling. We’ll give you the opportunity to express your emotions freely. We know that showing an accepting nature is vital to helping you overcome negative feelings and to come to terms with grief or trauma.
It is our goal to make sure that you receive the right approach to your PTSD trauma counselling. Our objective is that you see yourself as a person who has the power and ability to change your life.
We know that ‘one size doesn’t fit all’ and that each of our clients is different and has their own set of unique needs and circumstances. Typically, we will use a combination of psychological treatments and therapies for PTSD; these include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) and hypnotherapy alongside talking therapies for PTSD such as counselling and psychotherapy.
Power over PTSD: A case study on our PTSD therapy
When Jane was 9, her mother was diagnosed with psychosis. One day, she had locked Jane in a room with her, brandishing knives, saying terrible things about Jane’s father and said that she didn’t love Jane anymore. Jane never again believed her when she said, “I love you”. She reported crying while watching a movie that mentioned childhood memories.
After taking six sessions of Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR), Jane reported no distress when thinking about her traumatic memories. She also felt calmer and safer around her mother and in other everyday social interactions.
