Trauma & Relational Therapy
I support adults suffering with a range of mental health and relationship difficulties. I specialise in treating adults who have experienced trauma, whether this be a single incident or multiple events either in childhood, adulthood, or both. Sometimes trauma occurs within the context of a childhood relationship. I support individuals with relational trauma, often who have long standing mental health, relational and/or emotional difficulties. I take a trauma informed and attachment-based approach to understanding the roots of these difficulties, which can often be traced back to childhood or previous experiences.
Sometimes people who have experienced trauma may have a diagnosis of PTSD and may have experiences such as nightmares or flashbacks. Others may struggle with the impact of their trauma in different ways, for example the impact it has on their emotions and relationships.
Do you find yourself repeating certain unhelpful patterns in your relationships? Perhaps you are someone who can often feel triggered in relationships and struggle with feelings of jealousy or insecurity. Relationship difficulties can trigger strong emotional reactions, and struggling to form fulfilling relationships can really impact on your mood.
Together we will work on understanding the roots of these patterns and how they continue to affect you in the here and now. Our work together will support you towards processing your trauma and making positive changes to improve both your relationships and your mental health.
