Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) & Complex-PTSD

Trauma can significantly affect emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being. 

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)can develop following a single distressing event, such as a car accident, a serious medical event, or miscarriage. Symptoms may include intrusive memories, flashbacks, avoidance of reminders, hyper vigilance, and emotional numbness. 

Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) often arises from prolonged or repeated trauma, particularly in the context of relationships, such as chronic emotional abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. C-PTSD can involve difficulties with emotional regulation, self-perception, and forming secure relationships.

At our clinic, we take a holistic approach to trauma, exploring the context of each individual’s experiences, including past abuse, ongoing relational difficulties, or co-occurring mental health challenges. Treatment is personalised and may include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and EMDR, helping clients process traumatic experiences, build resilience, improve relationships, and develop sustainable coping strategies for long-term healing.
