What is Trauma?
Trauma is a psychological and emotional response to deeply distressing or disturbing experiences. It can result from a single event, such as an accident or assault, or from prolonged exposure to distress, such as childhood neglect or abuse. Trauma affects the way the brain processes memories and emotions, often leading to symptoms such as flashbacks, heightened anxiety, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, and a sense of disconnection from oneself and the world. Left untreated, trauma can significantly impact daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Although trauma can often feel overwhelming, online trauma therapy can help you process your experiences and regain a sense of stability.
My Approach to Online Trauma Therapy
I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your experiences without judgment. Whether you are dealing with trauma from past events or ongoing distress, my therapeutic approach focuses on both symptom relief and addressing the underlying causes of your difficulties. Through online trauma therapy, I will help you develop effective coping mechanisms, process painful experiences, and move toward a place of healing and resilience.
Online Trauma Therapy Techniques
EMDR Therapy
One of the evidence-based approaches I use is Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR therapy is a highly effective technique that helps to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories, making them less distressing and intrusive. This can relieve symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional distress, allowing you to regain a sense of control over your thoughts and emotions.
Intensive Thought Field Therapy (TFT)
I also offer Intensive Thought Field Therapy (TFT). TFT is a rapid and effective treatment that uses specific tapping sequences on meridian points to reduce emotional distress linked to traumatic memories. This technique works by directly targeting the body’s energy system, helping to neutralise distressing emotions and reprogram the brain’s response to trauma. Many clients find TFT beneficial in alleviating anxiety, fear, and emotional pain associated with trauma.

Online Trauma Therapy FAQs
Is online trauma counselling effective?
Yes – research shows that online trauma therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person therapy for treating trauma-related symptoms like anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
What counts as trauma?
Trauma can stem from a wide range of experiences, both big and small. It can be a single event, such as an accident or assault, or repeated experiences, like childhood neglect or bullying. You may benefit from online trauma therapy if past experiences continue to cause you distress, impacting your daily life.

Our online trauma therapy follows the same high standards as all in-person counselling, where you will connect with our experienced trauma therapist Dr Kat Aguilera using secure video technology. Sessions will focus on processing your trauma in a safe and supportive environment, helping you develop coping mechanisms and build resilience.
Is online trauma therapy right for me?
Online trauma counselling can be a good option for anyone who has experienced a traumatic event and is seeking support. It’s particularly suitable if you have difficulty accessing in-person therapy due to accessibility issues or scheduling conflicts, prefer the convenience of online sessions, or if you simply feel more comfortable opening up in a virtual environment.
What should I consider before online trauma counselling?
Ensure you have a reliable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone. It’s also important to find a private and comfortable space for your sessions; we utilise secure video conferencing platforms to protect your confidentiality.
