Many varied experiences can lead to trauma. Trauma may stem from singular events or prolonged situations, and it might even persist into the present. The nature of trauma differs for each person and addressing trauma is just as distinctive unfolding uniquely within trauma counselling, empowering clients to navigate their own traumas.
Throughout life, we inevitably encounter moments like losing someone we love, the end of a relationship, or reaching the completion of certain life stages. These experiences can leave us feeling a sense of emptiness if we don't fully understand them, which can lead to grief. By understanding why we feel this way and untangling the unique aspects of our grieving process, we can better accept what has happened and move forward without carrying unnecessary guilt or holding ourselves back.
Counselling is available online or in person depending on your circumstances and preferred format. Phone consults are also available. We recommend that if you are having online counselling that you find yourself a quiet and private space to ensure that you get the most out of your online counselling session.
