Support for Complex Trauma in a Safe, Understanding Space
Introduction:
Complex trauma can leave us feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. Whether it’s from childhood experiences, emotional neglect, or repeated relationship wounds—you may be carrying more than you realise.
At Carlie’s Healing Space, I offer gentle, person-centred and trauma-informed counselling, helping you feel safe, seen, and supported as you begin to make sense of your story.
Understanding Trauma
" A short video explaing what trauma is"
What Is Complex Trauma?
Complex trauma often comes from repeated or long-term emotional stress—especially in environments where your emotional needs weren’t met.
You may be experiencing:
- Ongoing anxiety or emotional overwhelm
- A harsh inner critic or deep shame
- Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in relationships
- People pleasing, perfectionism, or emotional shutdown
- A sense of “not being enough” or feeling emotionally lost
How Person-Centred Therapy Can Help
Healing happens in relationship. I work in a non-judgemental, empathic way that centres your experience and needs.
Together, we can:
Build a sense of emotional safety and trust
Explore past experiences without pressure or shame
Understand how trauma shaped your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours
Develop healthy boundaries and reconnect with your inner voice
Creative Tools – like journaling prompts, metaphor, visualisation or symbolic objects — to help you express what words can’t always reach
Nervous System Grounding – simple, body-based techniques to help you feel safer, more connected, and less overwhelmed in the present moment
Psychoeducation – helping you understand how trauma and nervous system patterns shape thoughts, behaviours and emotions (you’re not broken — you’re responding to what happened)
A Gentle, Human Approach to Healing
You don’t have to carry this alone. I offer a warm, down-to-earth space where all parts of you are welcome—even the ones that feel too much, too sensitive, or too hidden.
You deserve support that honours your story, your pace, and your right to feel whole.
