Trauma

Healing from Trauma with Brighter Paths Counselling

Trauma can have a profound impact on our lives, shaping the way we think, feel, and interact with the world. Whether it stems from a single distressing event or prolonged experiences of stress and adversity, trauma can leave emotional scars that affect our relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being. As a professional counsellor based in Canterbury, I am here to provide a safe and supportive space to help you process your experiences, regain a sense of control, and move towards healing.

Therapy offers a compassionate and structured approach to working through trauma. At Brighter Paths, I tailor my approach to your individual needs, helping you feel empowered and supported as you navigate your healing process. Some of the ways I can help include providing a safe space to explore your emotions, understanding your reactions to trauma, and developing healthy coping strategies.


Trauma can lead to unhealthy behaviours such as avoidance, self-isolation, or self-criticism. Together, we can explore healthier ways to manage stress and emotions, build resilience, and foster self-compassion. I also support clients in rebuilding confidence, reconnecting with themselves, and processing past pain in a way that feels safe and manageable.

You Are Not Alone

Recovering from trauma takes time, and it is important to be kind to yourself throughout the process. With the right support, healing is possible. If you are struggling with the impact of past experiences and looking for a Canterbury-based counsellor to help you on your journey, Brighter Paths is here for you. Taking the first step towards healing can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out today to start your journey towards recovery, strength, and self-discovery.
