Trauma counselling
Difficult experiences in childhood can shape how we feel, trust and relate long into adulthood. Counselling offers a safe space to make sense of them.
Understanding
Childhood trauma, including neglect, abuse, loss or growing up in a frightening or unpredictable home, can affect our confidence, emotions and relationships as adults. Many people only link their struggles to childhood much later.
Counselling helps you understand those links and develop new ways of coping, without needing to relive everything at once.
How I help
Seeing how early experiences shaped you.
Developing steadiness before approaching anything painful.
Choosing different responses in relationships and life.
Questions
Early experiences often shape what feels familiar. Understanding this can help you choose differently.
No. You decide what you share and when.
