Therapy for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

PTSD can make the past feel present. A sound, smell, place, person, dream, or body sensation can pull you back into danger even when part of you knows the event is over.

Moffat offers trauma-informed counselling that respects pace and safety. If symptoms are severe, specialist trauma treatment or psychiatric care may also be needed.

How this can show up

• Flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive memories, or body panic
• Avoiding reminders of what happened
• Feeling numb, detached, angry, guilty, or constantly alert
• Trouble sleeping or relaxing
• Feeling unsafe in situations that others experience as ordinary

What counselling with Moffat can focus on

Sessions can help you understand triggers, build grounding skills, and slowly make sense of what happened without forcing you to relive it all at once. Moffat can also support work around shame, grief, anger, and trust.

Starting sessions

The first priority is stability. You can begin with what helps you stay present before going near the hardest parts of the story.
