I also provide specialist trauma informed therapy which takes into consideration the complex impact of trauma on an individual and how it affects a person’s ability to cope. It can make all the difference to a person's mental well-being.

 

Trauma therapy prioritises emotional and physical safety and allows us to move forward at a pace you feel comfortable with. If you would like to know more please get in touch.
