Services
Trauma Therapy
Specialist trauma therapy addresses the lasting effects of distressing experiences through evidence-based approaches. Our practitioners use somatic techniques and cognitive therapies to help clients process traumatic memories stored in the nervous system. This service supports individuals experiencing anxiety, flashbacks, or dissociation resulting from past events, offering a structured three-stage pathway from stabilisation to personal growth.
Perinatal Counselling
Perinatal mental health support addresses emotional challenges during pregnancy and early parenthood. Our therapists help parents navigate birth trauma, postnatal depression, and relationship adjustments through individual and couples sessions. This service combines clinical expertise with peer support opportunities, focusing on rebuilding confidence and strengthening family connections during the critical first two years of parenthood.
Mindfulness Courses
Structured mindfulness programmes teach present-moment awareness to improve mental resilience. Our courses range from introductory sessions to accredited MBLC programmes, helping participants manage stress and emotional regulation. These evidence-based practices, delivered by BAMBA-registered instructors, have demonstrated measurable benefits in reducing anxiety and enhancing overall wellbeing through regular practice.
Professional Training
Trauma-informed training programmes equip organisations with specialist knowledge for supporting affected individuals. Our workshops cover trauma neuroscience, coping mechanisms, and practical strategies for creating safe environments. Designed for healthcare providers, educators, and HR professionals, these sessions combine theoretical understanding with actionable techniques to enhance workplace mental health support systems.
Support Groups
Community-based support groups provide safe spaces for shared experiences and mutual encouragement. Our structured programmes include adult survivor groups, perinatal support circles, and creative wellbeing activities that foster connection without requiring personal disclosure. These sessions incorporate therapeutic activities like drumming workshops and art therapy, promoting recovery through collective resilience and social inclusion.
