SPECIALIST TRAUMA THERAPY 

I have been  a trauma counsellor for many years.  Trauma can have a significant impact on your daily life regardless of whether it occurred 4 weeks ago or 40 years, whether it was a single event or many. 

​

Trauma can cause depression and anxiety, it can shape the way we think and feel, make us angry, anxious, sad, confused, stressed, make us avoid things and increase our need for unhelpful coping mechanisms.  It can also have a significant impact on our relationships, family and friendships.

​

Using the Rewind Trauma Therapy technique we will work specifically on your trauma in the safety of the counselling room.  We cannot forget what we have experienced but the aim is to reduce the effects of the trauma and this helps if you have any of the following PTSD, flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety linked to specific things/situations, panic attacks etc. 

 

It is aimed at helping people who have been in accidents, witnesses/been present when traumatic events have happened, abuse - single events or multiple, with phobias and extreme anxiety etc.   You can book in sessions specifically focused on this, usually 2-6 sessions or along side any counselling we do.  Please see below link to the latest research supporting the effectiveness of Rewind as a trauma treatment.
