Therapy for Trauma & PTSD

Understanding Trauma

Trauma can result from distressing or overwhelming experiences. Post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may involve flashbacks, avoidance, hypervigilance, or changes in mood and sleep. Therapy provides structured support to process these experiences and develop coping strategies.

Evidence based Approach

I use therapies supported by research and clinical practice, including:

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Understanding and reframing trauma‑related beliefs.

  • Trauma‑focused CBT: Building coping skills and reducing avoidance.

  • Schema Therapy & Imagery rescripting: Addressing long‑standing patterns linked to trauma, particularly childhood trauma.

  • Mindfulness and grounding strategies: Supporting safety and regulation.
