Trauma Counseling and Therapy

Trauma Counseling and Therapy provides compassionate, evidence-based support for individuals affected by trauma, helping them process experiences, regain control, and work towards healing and resilience. Specialising in trauma-informed care, I am skilled in creating safe, supportive environments where clients can explore and understand the impact of traumatic events on their lives.

Key elements of Trauma Counseling and Therapy include:

1. Individualised Assessment and Treatment Planning: I start with a thorough assessment to understand each client’s unique experiences, needs, and goals, creating a personalised treatment plan.
2. Trauma-Informed Approaches: Using trauma-informed principles, I ensure that each session prioritises the client’s safety, empowerment, and emotional comfort, allowing them to process trauma without re-traumatisation.
3. Therapeutic Techniques for Healing: I employ a range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and other evidence-based techniques to address trauma-related symptoms and foster resilience.
4. Emotional Regulation and Coping Strategies: I equip clients with tools to manage emotional responses, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and build healthy coping mechanisms to navigate life after trauma.

The trauma therapy services are confidential, non-judgmental, and grounded in empathy, helping individuals feel safe to explore and heal. With a focus on building resilience, improving emotional well-being, and fostering self-empowerment, I support clients in moving beyond trauma and reclaiming a sense of peace and stability.

This service is ideal for individuals experiencing the effects of abuse, loss, violence, or other traumatic events, offering a pathway to recovery and renewed strength through compassionate, trauma-sensitive care.

Play Therapy

Play Therapy offers a child-centered, therapeutic approach that enables children to express emotions, process experiences, and build resilience through play. This therapy is designed specifically for young clients who may struggle to articulate feelings verbally.

1. Safe and Supportive Play Environment: My playrooms are designed to be safe, engaging, and comforting, allowing children to feel at ease and empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions.
2. Expressive, Therapeutic Play Techniques: Using toys, art supplies, role-play, and storytelling, children can convey feelings they may not be able to express verbally, facilitating understanding and processing of their inner experiences.
3. Building Emotional Awareness and Coping Skills: Through play, children develop emotional awareness and learn age-appropriate coping strategies, supporting them in managing feelings like anger, sadness, or fear.
4. Parental Collaboration and Support: I work closely with parents or caregivers to provide guidance on how to support their child’s emotional needs, encouraging a strong support network outside of therapy.

I am trained to observe and interpret children’s play behaviors, providing insights into their emotional world and identifying areas where support is needed. This service is ideal for children facing challenges such as trauma, anxiety, behavioral issues, or family transitions, offering a gentle yet effective approach to healing and growth.

With a focus on fostering resilience, self-confidence, and emotional well-being, the Play Therapy service helps children navigate difficult emotions in a way that feels natural and engaging, building a foundation for long-term mental health and personal growth.
