Understanding the Impact of Trauma

Trauma and past abuse can leave deep marks that linger in every part of your life, from your thoughts to your body, your sense of safety, and even your closest relationships.

Maybe some days you feel fine, and other days, it’s like you’re reliving it all over again.

There’s no shame in the pain you carry or in wanting relief.

Our team meets you where you are, without judgement, and honours your experience, including struggles such as:

Trouble sleeping or frequent nightmares
Feeling numb or disconnected
Intense anxiety or fear, even when things are “fine”
Flashbacks or unwanted memories
Guilt, shame, or self-blame
Difficulty trusting others or forming close relationships
Mood swings, irritability, or anger that feels out of control

You might wonder if things can really get better, or if you’ll always feel this way.

Healing is possible, and with the right support, you can begin to process what happened and start to feel more like yourself again.

How Counselling Can Support Your Healing Journey

Healing from trauma is possible, even if it feels far away right now. Our first priority is to help you feel safe and heard, so you can talk about your pain at your own pace.

We know trust isn’t automatic, especially when you’ve been hurt before, so we work slowly and gently, always following your lead. Through counselling, you can learn to recognize your triggers, process what happened, and build new ways to cope that actually work in real life.

At Psychology in the Park, we’re here for every stage of your journey, including the tough days, the setbacks, and the quiet wins that mean so much.

Many people find relief just from being able to say out loud what’s been weighing on them for years. Together, we help you reconnect with yourself, reduce anxiety, and find moments of peace again.

Our goal is not just symptom relief, but real, lasting change that lets you feel whole. You deserve support that truly fits your story, not just a quick fix or one-size-fits-all advice.

Let’s take the next step together, at your pace.
