PTSD and Trauma Therapy
Evolving Minds
Trauma can affect how you think, feel, and function, often disrupting your sense of safety, connection, or control. It may lead to emotional reactivity, anxiety, hypervigilance, memory difficulties, or emotional withdrawal. These responses are common after distressing experiences such as abuse, neglect, violence, or chronic stress.
Trauma can also impact how the brain processes information and regulates emotions, particularly when experienced during childhood. Our trauma-informed therapy approach addresses both the emotional and cognitive effects of trauma, promoting emotional regulation, resilience and improved daily functioning.
At Evolving Minds Counselling in the Sutherland Shire, our clinicians have extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced trauma, abuse, or neglect. Each therapist holds postgraduate qualifications in trauma treatment and engages in ongoing professional development. Sessions are personalised and guided by the latest research in trauma recovery.
We support individuals who have experienced:
-
Physical or sexual abuse
-
Vicarious trauma (witnessing or hearing about trauma)
-
Natural disasters or serious accidents
-
Racism, discrimination, or bullying
Therapy can also include a focus on reparative parenting. This supports caregivers in breaking intergenerational cycles of trauma, strengthening attachment, and fostering safe, emotionally attuned relationships with their children.
We offer evidence-based trauma treatments, including:
-
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)
These approaches address the mind-body impacts of trauma, helping you process difficult experiences and develop more stable emotional regulation.
