CBT Package
The model held within the six sessions takes clients through a series of exercises, educational sessions and discussions to help them address their trauma responses of arousal, re-experience and avoidance and help them to re-engage with valued activities and relationships. The approach involves a gentle process during which the trauma experience is gradually and very gently explored. The exploration of the traumas takes place throughout six sessions, each including a diary review, symptoms checklist review, psycho-education and skills building. The TF-CBT package includes regular follow up emails to help you each step of the way, reinforcing session by session as we progress through the intervention.
Continued therapy is available after the six sessions, should you wish.
How it works
-
TF-CBT can reduce symptoms such as intrusive or upsetting memories, avoidance behaviours of things, situations or people who are reminders of the trauma, irrational beliefs and physical reactions of hyperarousal.
-
After a course of TF-CBT one can expect improvements in depression, anxiety, trauma related shame or guilt and relationships.
-
TF-CBT is one of the few interventions where there is a NICE* and MIND recommendation and is used in the additional work I do with the Emergency Services. Sessions are usually weekly, usually at the same time but may be fitted in around shift work if necessary.
-
Sessions typically last 90 minutes; this is because trauma therapy tends to require longer sessions than traditional counselling.
-
The counselling will be held online (unless there are special arrangements for in-person sessions).

The trauma support programme involves more than what happens in the consulting room; The process in-session forms the scaffolding of your recovery, but the engagement in homework and your reflections on the counselling sessions will allow your strong foundations to be built- Engaging in between sessions is vital.
