Trauma Counselling Services
Heal from Trauma with Compassionate Support and EMDR Therapy
Trauma can have a profound impact on your emotional, psychological, and physical well-being.
At Sigma Therapies, we provide specialised trauma counselling to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences.
Using evidence-based techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, we offer a safe, supportive environment where you can work through your trauma and move towards recovery.
What is Trauma Counselling?
Trauma counselling is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals address the emotional and psychological effects of traumatic experiences. Trauma can arise from various situations, such as abuse, accidents, natural disasters, violence, or loss. These experiences may leave lasting emotional scars, manifesting as anxiety, depression, flashbacks, or difficulties in daily life.
Our trauma counselling services are designed to support you through the healing process, providing tools to manage symptoms, process painful memories, and rebuild a sense of safety and well-being. One of the key methods we use to treat trauma is
EMDR therapy, an evidence-based approach that has been highly effective in reducing the distress associated with trauma
How Trauma Counselling Can Help You
Trauma counselling can provide relief from a wide range of trauma-related issues, including:
» Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
» Childhood Trauma
» Sexual or Physical Abuse
» Domestic Violence
» Trauma from Accidents or Injuries

What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a powerful therapeutic approach that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic memories.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR focuses on the brain’s natural ability to heal from distressing experiences. It involves guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help desensitise traumatic memories and reprocess them in a way that reduces their emotional impact.
EMDR has been extensively researched and proven to be highly effective in treating PTSD, anxiety, and other trauma-related conditions.
It helps individuals break free from the cycle of reliving traumatic memories, allowing them to move forward with a greater sense of peace and emotional balance.

Core Principles of Trauma Counselling
Our trauma counselling services are grounded in several key principles to ensure a safe, effective, and supportive therapeutic experience:
- Trauma-Informed Care: We approach each individual with sensitivity and understanding, recognising the impact that trauma can have on mental health and well-being. Our therapists are experienced in working with trauma survivors and provide compassionate, non-judgemental support.
- Safety and Stabilisation: Before diving into trauma processing, we focus on ensuring that you feel emotionally stable and safe in therapy. This includes building trust, developing coping skills, and creating a secure environment where you feel comfortable exploring difficult emotions.
- EMDR Therapy: EMDR is a core part of our trauma counselling approach. It helps desensitise and reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and enabling healing.
- Personalised Treatment Plans:
Every person’s experience of trauma is unique. We tailor our counselling approach to suit your individual needs, helping you heal at your own pace.
