As a registered Social Worker and Counsellor, I’ve walked beside many individuals through their trauma healing journey, and I know just how deeply it can affect your life.
Trauma is the emotional and psychological response to a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. It may result from a single upsetting event or develop gradually through repeated exposure to distressing situations. What matters most is not the event itself, but how your mind, body, and emotions reacted to it.
If you’ve been asking yourself, “Why do I still feel affected by something that happened weeks, months, or even years ago?”—you’re not alone. At AM Counselling, I see you, I hear you, and I’m here to support you through it.
Anyone can become traumatized—children, teens, and adults. Some of the most common causes include:
Even if the traumatic event occurred long ago, it can still affect your mental health today. That’s why healing through trauma counselling is so important.
Noticing the signs of trauma is the first step toward recovery. You might feel “stuck,” overwhelmed, or unable to control your emotions. Here are some common symptoms of trauma:
If any of these signs feel familiar, therapy can guide you in making sense of your emotions and moving toward healing.
No two trauma stories are the same. At AM Counselling, I tailor therapy to your unique experience, offering support for:
Results from a single stressful or life-threatening event, such as an accident or assault.
Caused by repeated or prolonged exposure to highly stressful situations, like abuse or domestic violence.
Involves multiple traumatic events, often beginning in childhood. It may include attachment issues or ongoing harm from people close to you.
Affects individuals who support or witness others dealing with trauma, which is common among healthcare workers or family members.
At AM Counselling, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where your story will be heard and honoured. I use proven therapeutic techniques to help you:
Together, we take things at a pace that feels right for you, with steady, supportive guidance as you heal.
Your healing is personal, and your therapy should be too. Depending on your needs, I may integrate the following techniques:
To help challenge negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier responses.
A specialized trauma therapy proven to reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories.
Focuses on how trauma resides in the body, guiding you to release physical tension and build inner strength.

As a registered Social Worker and Counsellor, I bring both professional expertise and genuine compassion to every session. When we work together, here’s what you can look forward to:
With a background in trauma-informed therapy, I’m committed to helping you heal in a way that feels safe, respectful, and empowering.

I understand that trauma recovery isn’t linear. That’s why I tailor each session to fit your pace and personal story.
