As a psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience, I focus on helping individuals and couples navigate the challenging terrain of relational trauma, abuse recovery, and relationship transformation.
Recovery from relational trauma involves immediate stabilisation and deeper healing work. In our sessions, we address safety concerns while exploring the deeper impact of traumatic experiences. Through dream work, we access the wisdom of your unconscious mind. EMDR therapy helps process traumatic memories, while psychoanalytic work builds understanding.

My formal training focused on integrative approaches to trauma and attachment repair (IAT) as well as anxiety, depression, relationship issues and personality change.
My name is Seb & I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist working somatically with clients in Bendigo & Kyneton.
For me, Psychotherapy is the science and art of creating transformative change by using the healing power of relationships that are grounded in safety and trust.
The motivation for change might be prompted by a loss, a crisis or a need to fix specific problems, yet it often ends up with stepping into a deeper, more connected sense of self, responsibility, love & freedom.
Thus, Psychotherapy is a place to accept and come to terms with how our experiences and stories have shaped us into who we are, and how we live and love.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
