What is
Trauma-Informed Care?
Trauma-informed care recognises the impact of trauma on a person's life, relationships, sense of self and wellbeing.
Our approach is grounded in evidence-based trauma-informed care, recognising that trauma can shape the way we think, feel, relate to others, and respond to stress. Rather than asking "What's wrong with you?", a trauma-informed approach asks "What has happened to you?" and prioritises safety, trust, collaboration, choice, and empowerment throughout the therapeutic process. These principles are supported by contemporary trauma research.
Our Practice Principles
SAFETY
We create an environment where you feel emotionally and psychologically safe
COLLABORATION
Therapy is a partnership. We work with you toward goals that are meaningful to you
CHOICE
You are supported to make informed decisions and move at a pace that feels right for your body and mind
TRANSPARENCY
We are clear about our approaches, boundaries, processes and expectations
COMPASSION
We meet your story with curiosity and compassion rather than judgement
CULTURAL
HUMILITY
We recognise the impact of culture, identity, family, and systemic experiences
The way we work is shaped by research into trauma, attachment and recovery, alongside the evidence-informed practice frameworks of the Blue Knot Foundation, Australia's National Centre of Excellence for Complex Trauma. These frameworks provide a strong foundation for delivering therapy that is responsive to those that have experienced trauma.
