Online Therapy
Online therapy sessions can provide all of the benefits of face to face sessions while allowing you to stay within the comfort of your own home. These are at their most effective when you have sessions with a dedicated, highly trained, psychologist or psychotherapist. By working with you during scheduled video calls your online therapist will help you overcome any particular issues you are facing in your life. We’ve created a short guide to help you learn a bit more about what to expect if you’re considering online therapy.
Stress & Trauma
Traumatic life events can manifest themselves in many ways and they can affect your body, mind, sense of self and your personality. Reactions to trauma often occur shortly after experiencing a traumatic event but they can also lay dormant and emerge weeks, months, or even years, later. Reactions to Trauma can include repeated intrusive memories, thoughts and perceptions. Avoidance Reactions are also common, such as striving to avoid people, situations, activities, conversations or objects related to the traumatic event. Negative changes in mood and thought patterns often occur. A persistent nervous or anxious energy with an inability to concentrate can be another result of dealing with a traumatic event.

The Hidden Barriers: How Trauma-Based Survival Strategies Block Your Authentic Self
On the surface, we may appear confident, successful, even thriving in specialised areas of our lives, but beneath this exterior lies an inner tension. This tension often stems from emotional blockages formed as a response to previous life trauma, creating barriers to emotional flow and self-expression.
In this article from her website, Dr Claudia Herbert explores how the process of integrating trauma can help people transition from functioning merely in survival mode to living the full expression of their authentic self.
