Psychological trauma arising from a traumatic event can leave an individual overwhelmed by stress and incapable of coping with or integrating the emotions involved. The specialist field of trauma counselling guides an individual to come to terms with, and recover from, a debilitating experience.
The therapeutic method TIR, or Traumatic Incident Reduction, is a systematic method of locating, reviewing and resolving traumatic events. It is a rapid (compared to traditional therapy) method of effectively reducing traumatic stress from emotionally and/or physically painful events in the past. It involves re-experiencing past traumas and is carried out in a person-centred, non-judgemental context.
We counsel adults and teenagers from the age of 16 and upwards.
