Trauma-informed support to help you feel safer and more grounded
Trauma can affect people in many different ways. You may be living with the impact of a single distressing event, ongoing experiences over time, or something from earlier in life that still feels present. Trauma doesn’t always show up as clear memories; it can affect your emotions, body, relationships, or sense of safety in the world.
At Cherry Tree Therapy Centre in Henley-on-Thames, we offer counselling for trauma for children, young people, and adults. Our work is trauma-informed, meaning we prioritise safety, choice, and pace, recognising that healing happens gradually and differently for everyone.
When you come to Cherry Tree Therapy Centre for trauma counselling, our focus is on creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and in control. Trauma can leave people feeling overwhelmed, hyper-alert, numb, or disconnected, so we work carefully and collaboratively, without pressure to revisit experiences before you’re ready.
Therapy may involve understanding how trauma affects the nervous system, emotions, and relationships, as well as developing grounding strategies and coping tools that help you feel more stable in everyday life. Where appropriate, therapists may draw on trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR, CBT, or mindfulness-based techniques, always guided by your needs and readiness.
