Trauma & PTSD

Trauma Counselling in Derby & Derbyshire

After something frightening or overwhelming, the mind and body can stay on high alert. Counselling works at a careful pace to help you feel safer, without having to re-live everything.

You might notice

  • • Flashbacks, nightmares or unwanted memories
  • • Feeling jumpy, on edge or easily startled
  • • Avoiding reminders of what happened
  • • Feeling numb or cut off from others
  • • Difficult experiences from childhood still affecting you

How counselling can help

  • • Build a sense of safety and stability first
  • • Learn grounding skills for when things feel overwhelming
  • • Make sense of what happened at your own pace
  • • Reduce the hold the past has on the present

Trauma-informed, integrative and psychodynamic approaches.
