Trauma and Personality Disorder

I treat trauma of many kinds, from childhood trauma such as abuse and neglect as well as trauma experienced by adults. Trauma affects us in many different ways and no two people are affected by trauma in exactly the same way as another.

My treatment is modified to fit how trauma has impacted your life, from your own relationships to even your work life. This gives the best outcomes to suit your needs, as well as addressing specific issues related to just you that you wish to address. This can be from as little as three sessions for trauma that was less intensive upto over 20 sessions or more for more intense trauma, such as that from childhood or repeated episodes of trauma.

Very occasionally trauma can also be classified as a set of conditions called personality disorders. These are conditions that affect our sense of self and how we are in the world, needing specific treatments over a long period. This is something that I also address and work with to suit individual needs.

Counselling will aim to cover the many other areas that trauma creates, such as depression and anxiety. This wrap around approach aims to provide you with a comprehensive treatment that is both holistic and long lasting. I also work with teenagers in assisting them to manage trauma at an earlier ages and reduce the incidents of mental health issues in later life, this is a personal passion having been through difficult adolescent years.
