Trauma Support Counselling

Somatic & IFS-Informed Support for Healing and Integration

If you’re living with the effects of trauma — whether it’s from early life experiences, ongoing stress, or a single overwhelming event — know that healing is possible. My trauma support sessions offer a safe, grounded space to gently explore and process what has been held in the body, mind, and nervous system.

Using a combination of somatic practices and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed therapy, we work together to help you reconnect with your inner world, reduce symptoms, and begin to feel more whole, empowered, and at peace.

What is trauma?

Trauma isn’t just what happened to you — it’s also how your body and nervous system responded in order to survive. This can leave lasting effects like anxiety, emotional numbness, overwhelm, chronic tension, dissociation, or difficulty trusting yourself and others.

Unresolved trauma can show up in subtle ways, but with the right support, it can be safely processed, integrated, and healed.

How I support trauma healing

My trauma counselling sessions are tailored to your unique experience and may include:

• Somatic (body-based) practices to regulate the nervous system and restore safety

• IFS-informed approaches to connect with and care for different “parts” of yourself

• Psychoeducation to help you understand how trauma affects the brain and body

• Gentle exploration of past experiences at your own pace

• Tools to support emotional regulation, grounding, and self-trust

• Integration work to bring healing into your everyday life

You don’t need to retell every detail of what happened — this is not about reliving your trauma, but about creating new internal experiences of safety, connection, and choice.

Who trauma counselling is for

You might benefit from trauma support if you:

• Feel stuck in patterns you don’t understand

• Experience anxiety, panic, or emotional overwhelm

• Struggle with boundaries, trust, or self-worth

• Are disconnected from your body or emotions

• Want to explore healing at a deeper, more embodied level

• Are ready to move from surviving to truly living

A gentle path to healing

Healing trauma takes time, care, and support. You don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll create a safe, non-judgmental space where your story, your pace, and your inner wisdom are honoured.

Whether you’ve done previous therapy or are just starting to explore your healing journey, these sessions are designed to help you feel more regulated, self-aware, and connected to yourself.
