Healing from complex trauma with therapy that holds the whole story.
Specialised, trauma-informed therapy for complex trauma and cPTSD — including EMDR, Schema Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.
Key information you should know
- Complex trauma (cPTSD) develops from prolonged or repeated trauma, often in childhood, and affects identity, relationships, and emotion regulation.
- Effective treatment is paced — safety and skill-building come before processing memories.
- Evidence-based approaches include EMDR, Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-focused CBT.
Signs you might benefit from complex trauma and cptsd support
- Persistent shame, self-blame, or feeling fundamentally 'different' from others
- Difficulty trusting or staying in close relationships
- Strong, fast emotions that feel out of proportion
- Feeling disconnected from yourself or like there are different 'parts' of you
- Numbness, dissociation, or feeling like you're observing yourself
- Chronic anxiety, hypervigilance, or feeling unsafe even when you are safe
- Difficulty knowing who you are outside of trauma and survival
How therapy can help with complex trauma and cptsd
Complex trauma often follows repeated harm or neglect, especially when it began in childhood. Symptoms may include emotional dysregulation, shame, relationship difficulty, dissociation, and distrust.
Phase-based trauma therapy emphasises stabilisation before processing memories. Safety, pacing, and collaboration are central; you remain in control of what is discussed.
