Specialised PTSD and Trauma Online Support in Australia
Understanding and overcoming trauma is a journey that requires compassionate support and expert guidance. At Tegan Anderson Psychology, I specialise in helping individuals navigate the complexities of PTSD and trauma through online counselling. Focusing on evidence-based therapies, I provide clients with a safe and understanding environment to explore their experiences, learn coping strategies, and begin healing. Whether dealing with the aftermath of a single event or the deep-seated effects of complex trauma, my approach is personalised, respectful and empathetic, aiming to empower individuals to regain control of their lives and move towards recovery.
The Nature of Trauma and PTSD
Trauma manifests in diverse ways, affecting each individual differently based on their experiences. In my counselling sessions, we delve into your unique experiences with trauma, offering a nuanced understanding of its effects on your mind and body. I integrate techniques from:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Mindfulness practices
Trauma responses may include, but are not limited to:
- Exposure to natural disasters, accidents, violence or life-threatening illnesses
- Witnessing harm to others or learning of trauma to loved ones
Physical and Emotional Reactions to Trauma may encompass:
- Persistent intrusive thoughts or memories
- Flashbacks and recurrent nightmares
- Distress in response to trauma reminders
- Avoidance of distressing memories
- Hypervigilance and heightened startle reflex
- Challenges with concentration, memory, and maintaining relationships
By building a trusting relationship, I help you process trauma, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and rebuild a sense of safety and normalcy, all through secure and confidential online sessions.
