Trauma Counselling is a collaborative process between a trained therapist and an individual seeking support to address and heal from past traumatic experiences. The goal of trauma counselling is to provide a safe, confidential space where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and memories related to trauma, gain understanding and insight, and develop effective coping strategies to manage trauma-related symptoms. Through therapeutic techniques specifically tailored to address trauma, counselling aims to foster personal growth, resilience, and an improved sense of well-being.
