Trauma Therapy That Addresses the Root Causes of Emotional Distress

​

Trauma can affect far more than memories of difficult experiences. It can shape how you feel about yourself, how you relate to others, and how safe or secure you feel in the world.

​

Many people find themselves struggling with anxiety, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, or a persistent sense that something isn't quite right, without fully understanding why.

​

I provide therapy that not only helps you manage the symptoms of trauma but also explores and addresses the deeper causes of emotional distress. Together, we can work towards understanding how past experiences may still be influencing your life today.

​

How Trauma Can Affect You

​

Trauma may result from a single distressing event or from ongoing experiences that left you feeling unsafe, unsupported, powerless, or emotionally overwhelmed.

​

You may experience:

• Anxiety or panic

• Emotional numbness

• Difficulty trusting others

• Low self-esteem

• Hypervigilance

• Relationship difficulties

• Feelings of shame or guilt

• Sleep problems

• A sense of being stuck or disconnected

​

Often these difficulties are not random symptoms but understandable responses to past experiences.

​

A Deeper Therapeutic Approach

​

My approach combines Psychotherapy with Hypnotherapy to explore the underlying emotional patterns, beliefs, and coping strategies that developed in response to trauma.

​

Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, therapy offers an opportunity to understand:

​

• How trauma has shaped your sense of self

• The origins of recurring emotional difficulties

• Relationship patterns that may have developed as protective strategies

• Unresolved feelings that continue to affect your wellbeing

​

Through greater understanding and processing of these experiences, lasting change becomes possible.

Trauma therapy in Brighton and Hove FAQ:

​

What is trauma?

​

Trauma is stress without resolve. Trauma is not only what happened, but how your nervous system and emotions responded to overwhelming or distressing experiences. It can affect how you feel, think, and relate to others.

​

Can trauma be healed in therapy?

​

Yes. Therapy can help process and integrate traumatic experiences, reducing their emotional impact over time and supporting greater emotional freedom.

​

Do I need to talk about everything that happened?

​

No. Therapy is paced carefully. You will never be forced to share more than feels safe or manageable.

​

How does psychotherapy and hypnotherapy help with trauma?

​

Psychotherapy helps make sense of and process experiences, while hypnotherapy can support deeper emotional processing and nervous system regulation in a safe, contained way.

​

Can trauma affect my life even if it happened a long time ago?

​

Yes. Unresolved trauma can continue to influence emotions, relationships, and behaviours long after the original event.
