PTSD
When the past keeps intruding on the present. Trauma-focused CBT helps the mind file painful memories safely.
What it is
Post-traumatic stress disorder can develop after frightening or overwhelming experiences. Symptoms include intrusive memories or nightmares, feeling constantly on guard, avoiding reminders, and changes in mood and beliefs about the world.
How CBT helps
Trauma-focused CBT is a NICE-recommended treatment for PTSD. It helps the brain process traumatic memories so they lose their raw, present-day intensity, and rebuilds a sense of safety and trust.
What therapy looks like
We move carefully and only ever at your pace. Early sessions focus on stabilisation and coping strategies before any memory work begins. You remain in control throughout.
When to seek help
If a past experience still intrudes on your daily life through flashbacks, nightmares or constant alertness — even years later — effective, compassionate treatment is available.
