Trauma Therapy, PTSD, Worksafe Counselling and Couples Counselling in Narre Warren. Nigel Joseph provides Trauma Therapy, EMDR, and Couples Counselling in Narre Warren and via Telehealth across Australia. Nigel has significant expertise in working with Trauma, PTSD and complex trauma using a combination of EMDR and Schema therapy. Trauma is not just an event that took place sometime in the past; it is also the imprint left by that experience on mind, brain, and body." Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score (2014) Schema Therapy helps couples understand the deeper beliefs and patterns each partner carries from their past.
Trauma doesn't always look the way you expect. If something from your past is shaping how you feel, how you relate to others, or how you move through the world today, flashbacks, anxiety, numbness, shame, difficulty trusting others, avoiding certain situations, or never quite feeling safe, settled, or fully yourself, trauma therapy can help.
Couples counselling offers somewhere to pause, breathe, and make sense of what's really happening between you. We gently explore the patterns keeping you stuck, work on communication, rebuild trust, and help find your way back to each other. Whether you are feeling distant, caught in conflict, big life change, or working through betrayal, change is possible.
