Trauma and PTSD Counselling in Nottingham
I have 17 years experience working with a range of issues including abandonment, addiction, anxiety, bereavement, depression, complex trauma, PTSD, relationship problems, and victims/perpetrators of abuse.
As a person-centred psychotherapist I believe that our deepest yearnings are to grow and to form nurturing relationships. However, life is hard, and these natural tendencies can become compromised or inhibited through difficult experiences. We can even lose sight of them altogether. When this happens we can feel lost and estranged from who we really are.

I'm trained in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy and I am often found by people who have an anxiety disorder, including PTSD (single and multiple trauma) or who are low self esteem.
Hello, I'm Kiran. Together, we can enrich your calm & strengthen the best parts of you. Starting therapy can be tricky. You might feel anxious about being vulnerable or worried that you'll still feel unseen after opening up to someone new. But, you can be certain that there is a therapeutic space here just for you. My approach is warm, holistic and guided by the psychological evidence-base. This means that you can trust you are working with someone who is focused on offering meaningful therapy that has your recovery at its centre.

EMDR is mainly used in the treatment of trauma and PTSD and helps the brain process and work through distressing events that we feel stuck on.
Anxiety, low mood and trauma are very common and can stop us from living life to the full. Working together using CBT and EMDR we can build an understanding of your issues, reasons for coming to therapy, then roll up our sleeves and work on overcoming them. With some hard work, some determination and me on your team you can get back to living your life the way you want to live it.

Trauma and PTSD Counsellors
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.
