Trauma Therapy in Calgary
What is Trauma Counselling?
Have you ever felt like talking about what you’ve been through doesn’t quite touch the part of you that’s still holding it? My approach recognizes that trauma isn’t just something we remember—it’s something the body carries, often in ways that are hard to put into words.
I will support you in gently focusing on safety, connection, and pacing. By supporting your nervous system first— it will help you notice what feels steady, what feels protective, and what your body needs in the moment. We may work with sensation, breath, emotion, and relationship, allowing healing to unfold in a way that feels respectful and grounded.
Trauma counselling isn’t about reliving the past or “fixing” you. It’s about creating enough safety to reconnect with yourself, rebuild trust in your body, and move forward with more choice and ease—at a pace that honours your story.
