Trauma Counselling in Norwich

Trauma can affect how we think, feel and relate to ourselves long after a difficult experience has passed.

You may find yourself feeling constantly alert, emotionally numb, overwhelmed by certain situations or struggling with relationships without fully understanding why.

Trauma is not defined solely by what happened. It's also about the impact those experiences continue to have on your nervous system, sense of safety and emotional wellbeing.

Understanding Trauma

Trauma can arise from:

​

  1. Childhood neglect

  2. Emotional abuse

  3. Physical abuse

  4. Domestic abuse

  5. Bullying

  6. Loss and bereavement

  7. Sudden life events

  8. Relationship trauma

  9. Complex childhood experiences

​

Many people blame themselves for responses that are actually normal reactions to difficult experiences.

Trauma-Informed Counselling

I provide trauma-informed counselling that prioritises emotional safety, choice and trust. Our work is never about forcing memories or re-living painful experiences before you're ready. Instead, we move at a pace that feels manageable, helping you:

​

  • Understand trauma responses

  • Rebuild emotional safety

  • Develop healthier relationships

  • Reduce shame and self-blame

  • Strengthen self-compassion

  • Feel more grounded and connected

A Safe Therapeutic Relationship

Healing often happens through experiencing a safe, consistent therapeutic relationship.

​

My aim is to provide a compassionate environment where you feel heard, respected and supported throughout the process.
