Trauma Therapy London
At Agency, our therapists take a considered and holistic approach to trauma, addressing both its emotional, physical and nervous system effects.
We recognise that history and healing are deeply individual, so our work is guided by sensitivity, care and a pace that honours your experience.
Drawing on psychological and somatic approaches, including evidence based methods such as EMDR, we support nervous system healing, helping trauma to be processed in a deep, steady and effective way.

Types of Trauma
Developmental Trauma
Difficult or disruptive experiences in childhood, such as neglect, inconsistent caregiving, or early loss, that shape emotional development, attachment, and how relationships are experienced later in life.
Chronic Trauma
Ongoing or repeated exposure to distressing situations, such as long-term abuse, domestic violence, or prolonged instability, which can impact emotional wellbeing, daily functioning, and a sense of safety.
Single Event Trauma
A single distressing or shocking event, such as an accident, assault, or sudden loss, which can leave lingering emotional, cognitive, or physical effects even after the event has passed.
Vicarious Trauma
Experiencing the impact of trauma indirectly, through witnessing or hearing about others’ distressing experiences, or through relational trauma within families, communities, or workplace
Complex Trauma
Multiple or prolonged traumatic experiences, often occurring within close relationships, which can affect identity, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and patterns in relationships.
What Is Trauma Therapy?
Trauma therapy is a psychological and somatic approach that supports people in processing traumatic experiences and understanding how their lasting effects continue to shape emotions, thoughts, patterns of behaviour, relationships, and the body.
Rather than focusing only on what happened, the therapeutic work attends to how the imprints of trauma are experienced in the present day, including psychological and physiological symptoms.
At Agency, we draws on a range of approaches within the three stage trauma model of safety, integration, and reconnection. This phased way of working allows therapy to unfold at a pace that feels steady and contained.
This framework helps ensure the work remains safe, humane, and responsive, while honouring the individuality, history, and needs of each person.
Why Choose Agency for Trauma Therapy?
Agency is a private psychotherapy practice specialising in trauma therapy for adults.
Our therapists support individuals whose lives have been shaped by PTSD, complex or childhood trauma, attachment wounds and other forms of enduring and significant emotional distress.
Our trauma work follows a three stage process that prioritises safety, stabilisation and resourcing before gently processing traumatic experiences in a way that feels manageable and contained.
The work then focuses on integration, reconnection and consolidation, supporting a stronger sense of self, meaningful relationships and fuller engagement in life.
Through this process, therapy nurtures healing, resilience, a greater sense of agency, and a renewed connection to yourself and the world around you.
