What is trauma therapy?
Trauma therapy is a type of talk therapy that helps people process and heal from overwhelming or painful life experiences — such as abuse, loss, violence, neglect, or ongoing stress.
Working with a qualified trauma-informed therapist, you’ll learn how trauma affects your emotions, body, relationships, and sense of self. The goal is to build safety, emotional regulation, and long-term healing.

Who is trauma-informed therapy for?
Trauma-informed therapy is for anyone affected by trauma, whether it happened recently or long ago. It can help if you’re experiencing:
- Flashbacks, panic, or emotional overwhelm
- Numbness or disconnection
- Trouble with trust or closeness
- Tension, sleep issues, or chronic stress
- Shame, fear, or guilt you don’t fully understand
- Or if you just feel that something isn’t quite right and want support to heal
