Trauma Processing Techniques FAQs
-
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. It’s a therapeutic approach designed to help people process distressing memories, trauma, anxiety, and other experiences that still feel stuck in the nervous system. Rather than having to talk through every detail over and over, EMDR helps the brain reprocess those experiences so they feel less overwhelming and have less impact on daily life.
-
Yes, somatic therapy can be very helpful for trauma. Trauma is not just something we think about, it’s something the body can continue to hold onto long after the event has passed. Somatic therapy works with the body’s responses to stress and overwhelm, helping you gently reconnect with physical sensations, regulate your nervous system, and feel safer in yourself again.
-
Trauma counselling helps you understand how past experiences may be affecting your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of safety in the present. Sessions are paced carefully and focus on building trust, regulation, and coping tools before exploring deeper experiences. Depending on your needs, trauma counselling may include talk therapy, somatic approaches, EMDR, and practical strategies to help you feel more grounded and supported.
-
Yes, counselling can support you through separation or divorce. This kind of life change can bring grief, anger, uncertainty, identity shifts, and a fair bit of emotional whiplash. Therapy offers a space to process what’s happened, make sense of your emotions, rebuild confidence, and move forward with more clarity and support.
-
The first session is a chance to get to know each other and talk about what’s bringing you to counselling. You’ll have space to share as much or as little as feels comfortable, and we’ll explore what support might look like for you. It’s not about diving into everything at once. It’s about creating safety, understanding your needs, and taking the first step in a way that feels manageable.
-

A Glimpse into Healing
Kerry has been an absolute game-changer for me. I didn’t know what to expect going into therapy, but from day one, she made me feel at ease. She listened without judgment and helped me make sense of things I’d been carrying around for years. Her patience and ability to guide me through the process made all the difference. I’ve come out of this feeling more in control of my life, with a better understanding of myself. I’m grateful for her support and can’t thank her enough for the impact she’s had on me.
