Trauma isn’t just an event — it’s how your body and mind respond, and you don’t have to face that alone.
Trauma isn’t just an event — it’s how your body and mind respond, and you don’t have to face that alone.
At Space to Breathe Therapy, we recognise that the effects of emotional and psychological trauma can be deeply challenging, influencing how safe, connected, and in control you feel in daily life. Trauma impacts everyone differently, and its lasting imprint is shaped by how overwhelming the experience felt at the time. With the right support and a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, healing is possible — helping you rebuild confidence, regain a sense of safety, and move forward with greater resilience.
Emotional and psychological trauma is the result of highly stressful experiences that leave you feeling helpless, unsafe, or overwhelmed. Trauma can shatter your sense of security and make the world feel like a dangerous place. It often results in intense emotions, intrusive memories, and feelings of disconnection from yourself or others.
Trauma is personal. What feels traumatic to one person may not affect another in the same way. It’s not a sign of weakness—it’s a response to an experience that overwhelmed your ability to cope.
Trauma can result from many different types of experiences, including:
When trauma occurs in childhood, it can disrupt a child’s sense of safety and attachment. Experiences such as abuse, neglect, witnessing domestic violence, or being separated from caregivers can leave deep emotional scars. If unresolved, childhood trauma can carry over into adulthood, making it more difficult to trust others, feel safe, and manage emotions.
Healing from childhood trauma is possible, even if it happened many years ago. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, build resilience, and restore a sense of emotional balance.
Everyone reacts to trauma differently. There’s no right or wrong way to respond. Your reactions are normal responses to abnormal events.

At Space to Breathe Therapy, we work with children, teenagers, and adults to:
Healing from trauma is not about forgetting the past, it’s about reclaiming your life and your sense of self. At Space to Breathe Therapy, we offer a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your experiences at your own pace, with understanding and compassion.
