Recovery from trauma is possible, at your own pace
Frightening, violent or deeply distressing experiences can leave effects long after they end: nightmares, flashbacks, feeling on edge, numbness, or difficulty trusting people. Trauma-informed therapy helps you feel safer first, then gently process what happened, so it has less power over your present.
If you are in crisis right now
Our classes and consultations are not an emergency service. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or thinking about suicide, call your local emergency number now. In Pakistan you can call Rescue 1122 or the Umang mental health helpline: 0311 7786264 (24/7). In the UK call 999 or Samaritans on 116 123; in the US call or text 988; in the UAE call 999.
Common effects of trauma
Reactions to trauma are normal responses to abnormal events. They can include intrusive memories or nightmares, avoiding reminders, feeling constantly alert or jumpy, irritability, trouble sleeping or concentrating, guilt or shame, and feeling disconnected from others. When these effects last for more than a month and interfere with life, they may indicate post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which is very treatable.
How we work
- Safety and stabilisation first. Before talking about difficult memories, you learn skills to manage overwhelming feelings and sleep better.
- Evidence-based therapy. Our psychologists use approaches recommended for trauma, such as trauma-focused CBT, delivered gently and only with your consent.
- You stay in control. You decide what to share and when. Pausing is always allowed.
- Joined-up care. If medication might help with sleep or mood, we can arrange a psychiatrist consultation.
Trauma support questions
Do I have to talk about what happened in detail?
Not at the start, and never before you are ready. Much of early therapy focuses on feeling safer and more in control.
Can trauma from childhood be treated as an adult?
Yes. Many people seek help years later and still benefit from therapy.
