Healing from Trauma, PTSD or C-PTSD?

Trauma can come in many shapes and sizes, from a single overwhelming event to multiple experiences over time. For some people this may develop into PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) or C‑PTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder), and it may show up through familiar survival responses such as fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. When you’ve lived through a single or multiple traumatic experiences, working with someone in a way that feels safe, steady, and genuinely shaped around you and your needs is vital.

As a trained trauma‑informed therapist and someone with lived experience of trauma, I offer a space where your emotional safety, pace, and boundaries are respected from the very beginning. We work together in ways that promote safety and support healing while avoiding overwhelm or re‑traumatisation. Instead of pushing, assuming, or moving too fast, we move in ways that are manageable and grounded—where your boundaries matter and your experiences are met with care.

Together, we’ll explore what has happened to you, how you are feeling, and why certain patterns or reactions might be showing up, including fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses that may have once protected you but now feel confusing or exhausting. We’ll look at how your experiences may be affecting your present: your mood, your sleep, your confidence, your relationships, your daily life, and your sense of self.

Our sessions will help you make sense of what’s happening in your life, build coping strategies, process difficult experiences, and find a way forward that feels grounded and manageable. This is your space to understand yourself more deeply, to recognise the impact of trauma—including PTSD or C‑PTSD—and to navigate your world with greater clarity, steadiness, and support.
