Trauma-informed therapy

Progressive Therapeutic Collective is always working towards a trauma-informed approach.

We see trauma-informed therapy as an ongoing process of learning and adapting; there is never an end-point.

Trauma-informed therapy recognises the profound impact that trauma can have on an individual's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It is based on the understanding that trauma is not simply an event or series of events, but a fundamental disruption of an individual's sense of safety, security, and trust.

The core principles of trauma-informed therapy include safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment.

The therapist works to create a safe and supportive environment where the client can feel comfortable sharing their experiences, thoughts, and feelings without fear of judgment or retraumatisation.

One of the key features of trauma-informed therapy is a focus on the individual's strengths and resilience rather than their perceived weaknesses or deficits. This approach can help clients feel empowered and capable of overcoming the effects of trauma in their lives.

Overall, trauma-informed therapy is a compassionate and holistic approach that recognizes the complexity of trauma and its effects on individuals. It emphasizes collaboration, choice, and empowerment, and can be a highly effective approach for individuals struggling with trauma-related issues.

At the Progressive Therapeutic Collective, we offer trauma-informed counselling and sex therapy; alongside trauma-aware remedial massage.
