Compassionate support for individuals navigating the effects of trauma
Trauma-informed therapy
Living with the effects of trauma?
Our experienced psychologists provide trauma-informed therapy through secure, confidential telehealth.
What is trauma-informed therapy?
Trauma can hurt you psychologically and shape how you feel, think and respond to everyday situations.
Trauma-informed therapy recognises how past experiences affect your present. It looks at the whole story behind your reactions and offers a supportive space to work through them.
Recognises that experiences such as abuse, neglect, chronic stress, discrimination, medical trauma or neurodiversity-related challenges can influence wellbeing
Acknowledges how trauma can affect the brain, nervous system and emotional responses
Focuses on creating safety, predictability and trust in each session
Supports individuals to understand triggers and strengthen emotional regulation
Moves at your pace without rushing
Methods such as trauma cognitive behavioural therapy can help you make sense of how trauma has shaped your thoughts and behaviour and support the development of healthier, more stabilising patterns.
Our telehealth psychologists use this approach to provide compassionate, evidence-informed care tailored to each person’s needs.
How is trauma-informed therapy different?
Trauma-informed therapy differs from traditional therapy by placing trauma assumptions at the centre of care.
We aim to help you feel understood rather than judged, acknowledging that many emotional and behavioural patterns are adaptive responses to past experiences.
Grounding strategies
Psychoeducation
Emotional regulation skills
Exploration of personal strengths
This approach can be particularly valuable if you have felt misunderstood in past therapeutic settings or have had difficulty discussing your experiences due to fear, shame or sensory overwhelm.

Who can benefit from trauma-informed therapies?
Trauma-informed therapy may be helpful if you:
Have survived life-threatening danger, serious accidents, sexual assault or domestic violence
Have lived through war or displacement
Have experienced neglect, bullying or interpersonal conflict
Face traumatic situations at work, e.g. in the armed forces or emergency services
Live with the emotional effects of childhood adversity
Face ongoing stressors related to identity, discrimination or marginalisation
Experience neurodiversity-related overwhelm or sensory challenges
Have a history of medical trauma or chronic health needs
Are living with the long-term emotional imprint of grief, fear or instability
Many people seek trauma-informed therapies not because of a single traumatic event, but because they notice patterns that feel connected to past experiences, such as emotional intensity, difficulty regulating stress, relationship challenges or physical tension.
Trauma-informed therapy provides language, structure and support to understand these patterns in a validating, non-pressuring environment.
Telehealth trauma-informed therapy

Personalised treatment plan
Your psychologist will work with you to develop a therapy plan that may include trauma-focused approaches, cognitive or behavioural strategies, grounding exercises and education about the effects of trauma. Any trauma-focused cognitive therapy techniques are introduced gradually and collaboratively.

Sessions are delivered via telehealth trauma therapy, supporting accessibility and privacy. Your psychologist will help you build emotional regulation skills, identify triggers, understand how trauma affects reactions and explore healthier long-term patterns.
Review and progress
Therapy is reviewed regularly, adjusting techniques and goals as your needs evolve. Many individuals find that online trauma therapy offers flexibility and consistency, helping them integrate strategies into daily life.
Why choose telehealth for trauma therapy?
Access to qualified psychologists from the comfort of your home
Reduced travel or scheduling barriers
A private, calm environment that supports trauma-sensitive work
Continuity of care even during busy or unpredictable periods.
Online trauma therapy can feel less confronting and more accessible, allowing you to engage with therapeutic work at a manageable pace.
It’s also much easier to look after yourself after your appointment. You don’t need to ‘pull yourself together’ and drive home. You can simply snuggle up on your sofa for a bit until you feel ready to re-engage with your day.
