Trauma Therapy
At Agency, our therapists offer a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to trauma, supporting both the emotional and physical impact it can have. We recognise that each person’s history and healing process is unique, and we work with sensitivity, care and at a pace that feels right for you.
Drawing on evidence based approaches such as EMDR somatic and relational therapies, we support healing at the level of the nervous system, helping you process trauma in a deep, steady and effective way.

A stronger sense of Agency
We work with both PTSD and Complex PTSD. Our trauma informed approach recognises the lasting impact of traumatic events and misattuned relationships, supporting you with the sensitivity you deserve. We focus not only on the event itself, but also on what followed, how your body and mind coped, and the patterns that emerged as a result of the distressing experience.
Trauma Compassionate Care
Trauma can affect how you relate to self and to others. We examine how your early and current relationships shape patterns of thought, emotion and behaviour. This relational focus supports the development of healthier connections with yourself and others, rebuild trust and develop healthier verbal and non verbal communication patterns.
Relational and Attachment Based Approach
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) provides a structured and evidence-informed approach for working with distressing or traumatic memories. It helps reduce the intensity of difficult experiences, fostering resilience, integration and emotional healing.
EMDR Therapy
Traumatic stress is held in the body and nervous system. Drawing on somatic therapies like Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, we help you connect with and release survival energy and stress stored in the body, fostering a deeper sense of connection and regulation.
