Sexual trauma can lead us to turn away from ourselves which can be experienced as a sense of feeling disconnected and separate from our self, others and/or the world. In life, we may find ourselves putting all of our attention and energy into people, objects and activities that offer the promise of lasting happiness and peace. These may only provide temporary relief from our suffering. It seems that we go looking for the right thing in all the wrong places!

The goal of our strengths-based 6-week Safety and Stabilisation Programme is to support you to find a gentle connection with yourself in the here and now. Shifting your focus to yourself, through the process of gentle noticing, you will learn how to be with your thoughts, feelings and behaviours as the observer rather than in them as the participant.

The programme explores The Impact of Trauma; The Brain, Mind and Body; Grounding and Flashbacks; and Self Regulation. It can be a stand alone service or it can serve as an introduction to 1:1 Counselling and/or EMDR.

The Safety and Stabilisation Programme is a 1:1 service consisting of half hour sessions delivered every 2 weeks online or by telephone. There is no face to face service available for this programme.
