Reforming Trauma Coaching

What is trauma?

Trauma is a negative and distressing response to internal or external events.

Trauma can can occur at any stage in life and is characterised by significant and noticeable changes in an individuals psychological, emotional, behavioural and psycho-social makeup.

Both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) trauma, if left untreated, have the potential to lead to the formation of;
Personality disorders (NPD, BPD, ASPD)
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
Mood, sleep and eating disorders
Depression
Drug, alcohol, sex, shopping and gambling addictions
Anger, aggression and violence
Attachment and trust issues,
Unstable and unhealthy relationships
Much more.

So why choose me?

I utilise a recovery oriented framework whereby I actively seek my clients thoughts, feelings and ideas about any treatment approaches they decide to participate in. Rather than specializing in one trauma treatment approach (i.e., CBT), I incorporate techniques and knowledge from a wide variety of fields such as;

Counselling

Life coaching

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT)

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP)

Mindfulness

Hypnotherapy

Inner Child Healing

Assertiveness training

and more...
