Trauma can leave deep emotional and psychological imprints, affecting your sense of safety, relationships, and daily life. Experiencing a distressing event or prolonged adversity can have overwhelming effects—manifesting as anxiety, flashbacks, emotional numbness, or a constant state of alertness.
At Incontact, we provide trauma-informed counselling in a safe, supportive space where you can process your experiences at your own pace. Our trained therapists use evidence-based techniques to help you understand, navigate, and heal from trauma—restoring your emotional well-being, self-trust, and resilience.
Trauma symptoms can differ greatly from person to person, varying in both intensity and manifestation. Below are some common signs that may indicate the impact of trauma:
Our trauma counselling approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy. While conversations with a trained therapist provide clarity and support, we also integrate evidence-based non-talk therapies such as EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and brainspotting. These methods help access and process trauma stored in the body and mind, facilitating deep healing even when words fall short.
Not all trauma looks the same. Some experiences, known as "big T" trauma, involve life-threatening events such as accidents, natural disasters, or violence. "Small t" trauma, while less dramatic, can be just as impactful over time. These might include ongoing stress, neglect, emotional abuse, or repeated failures that chip away at confidence and security.
Understanding the difference between small t and big T trauma can help individuals recognise their experiences as valid and worth addressing through counselling.
Trauma counselling can help those who have experienced distressing events or prolonged emotional pain. Some examples include:
Some individuals seem to be coping well despite carrying unprocessed trauma. They may excel in their careers, maintain relationships, and manage responsibilities effectively. Beneath this functional exterior, unresolved trauma persists—impacting emotional health, physical well-being, and reactions to stress.
Over time, they may desensitise themselves to their past experiences, dismissing the trauma as insignificant or believing they have "moved on." Without proper healing, trauma can resurface in unexpected ways, making it crucial to seek professional support.
Learn effective coping strategies to manage stress better.
A safe space to express emotions and receive expert guidance.
Understand stress triggers and patterns to make positive changes.
Develop tailored techniques to handle stress and challenges.
Set limits, prioritise self-care, and prevent burnout.
Adjust priorities and time management for a healthier lifestyle.
Recognise early signs and build resilience against burnout.
Sustain mental well-being with lasting self-care strategies.
If you are struggling with anxiety, emotional numbness, flashbacks, or persistent stress related to past experiences, trauma counselling can help. Even if your trauma doesn’t seem “big enough,” unresolved experiences can still impact your well-being.
Your therapist will create a safe, supportive space to explore your experiences at your own pace. Sessions may involve talk therapy, body-based techniques, or evidence-based methods like EMDR and Brainspotting to help process trauma.
Yes. Trauma is often stored in the body and subconscious mind. Therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting help access and process trauma, even when memories are unclear or suppressed.
Healing from trauma is different for everyone. Some people find relief in a few sessions, while others need long-term support. Your therapist will work with you to set goals and adjust the process based on your progress.
It’s normal to experience strong emotions as you process trauma. Your therapist will guide you through coping strategies to manage distress and help you build emotional resilience.
No. At Incontact, we integrate non-talk therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting, which use eye movements and body awareness to help process trauma without requiring you to talk about every detail.
Absolutely. Many high-functioning individuals dismiss their trauma because they seem “fine” on the outside. However, unprocessed trauma can show up in stress responses, emotional disconnection, or physical symptoms. Therapy helps address this at its root.
Trauma counselling is specialised to help individuals process distressing experiences that impact their emotional, physical, and psychological well-being. It often includes specific trauma-focused techniques beyond traditional talk therapy.
Not necessarily. Trauma therapy focuses on processing emotions and responses, not just recounting events. Some methods, like EMDR, allow healing to happen without extensive verbal discussion.
