Trauma and victim support

Trauma-informed support, paced carefully and never rushed.

Trauma-informed practices start with a few simple principles: safety, trust and support. There is no pressure to revisit difficult experiences before you are ready. You remain in control of what you share and together we will work at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.

Trauma is held in the body as much as in the memory, so alongside talking we may use nervous-system and somatic work: practical ways of helping your body settle when it has learned to stay on alert.

This may be a good fit if

  • You have experienced or witnessed something frightening or harmful
  • You are a victim of crime and need support alongside any formal process
  • You feel constantly on edge, jumpy, numb, or easily overwhelmed
  • Sleep, memory or concentration have been affected
  • Something from a long time ago has resurfaced

What sessions look like

  • Pacing is led by you. There is no requirement to give a full account
  • We build steadiness and coping first, before going anywhere near the difficult material
  • Practical grounding and nervous-system tools you can use between sessions
  • Available in person or online
