PTSD & Trauma Counselling in Liverpool and Online
Trauma changes the way we see the world and how we see ourselves.
If you’re feeling stuck in survival mode, haunted by the past, or exhausted by triggers that seem impossible to escape, you’re not alone.
The good news? Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it on your own.
MindSea Psychology offer professional, compassionate support through PTSD therapy and trauma counselling in Liverpool and online for those across Australia. Whether you’re dealing with recent trauma or long-standing wounds, our experienced team is here to walk beside you toward safety, stability, and strength.
Understanding Trauma: It’s Not Just in the Past
Trauma isn’t about what happened. It’s about what continues to happen inside you.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related symptoms occur when the nervous system remains stuck in a state of high alert, even after the threat has passed, making everyday life feel overwhelming, unpredictable, and isolating.
You may not even think of what you’ve experienced as “trauma”, yet still struggle with:
- Flashbacks or intrusive memories
- Avoidance of certain people, places, or topics
- Hypervigilance or exaggerated startle response
- Chronic anxiety, panic attacks, or difficulty sleeping
- Emotional numbness or shutdown
- Irritability, shame, or self-blame
- Dissociation or feeling disconnected from your body or reality
PTSD therapy and trauma counselling can help calm the body, regulate emotions, and process the unprocessed, so you can reclaim your life from the past.
What Counts as Trauma?
Trauma can take many forms. The event itself doesn’t define it, but by its impact on your sense of safety, trust, and identity.
We provide therapy for trauma resulting from:
- Childhood abuse or neglect
- Domestic or family violence
- Sexual assault or harassment
- Car accidents or workplace incidents
- Natural disasters or medical trauma
- Immigration, war, or refugee experiences
- Bullying or emotional abuse
- Vicarious trauma (first responders, frontline workers)
Our trauma therapists understand that healing requires patience, safety, and collaboration. We’ll never push you to relive experiences before you’re ready.
How We Approach Trauma Therapy
At MindSea Psychology, we provide a gentle, structured, and empowering approach to trauma recovery.
Our clinicians are trained in evidence-based trauma therapies that help you regulate the nervous system, process difficult memories, and rebuild self-trust.
Our PTSD and Trauma Treatment Options Include:
- Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR): A powerful, non-invasive therapy used to reduce distress around traumatic memories.
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT): Helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns while building emotional resilience.
- Schema Therapy: Addresses long-standing self-beliefs shaped by early trauma and unmet needs.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Teaches you to relate differently to thoughts and emotions without avoidance or suppression.
- Somatic Techniques: Supports nervous system regulation through body-based awareness and grounding.
- Systemic Family Therapy: For clients whose trauma is deeply connected to family dynamics or intergenerational patterns.
Whether you’re looking for trauma therapy in Liverpool, Sydney, or prefer telehealth PTSD therapy from home, we’ll tailor the approach to meet you where you are.
Types of Trauma We Treat
Our team has experience supporting people living with:
Single-Incident Trauma
Accidents, assaults, or a sudden loss can disrupt your sense of safety. We help you regain control, reduce flashbacks, and move forward without fear dominating your future.
Complex Trauma
Ongoing or repeated trauma, especially in childhood or relationships, can lead to deep-seated patterns of shame, disconnection, or emotional dysregulation. We approach complex trauma with care, trust-building, and a deep understanding of how attachment wounds operate.
Developmental Trauma
When safety and security were lacking during childhood, it can impact how you relate to others, regulate emotions, or cope with stress. Developmental trauma treatment focuses on healing the parts of you that never felt safe to exist fully.
PTSD and CPTSD
We offer trauma-informed PTSD treatment therapy for clients who meet the criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder or complex PTSD. This may include structured treatment plans, coordination with medical providers, and long-term support.
What to Expect in Therapy for PTSD or Trauma
Healing trauma is not a linear process, but with the right guidance, it becomes more manageable and less overwhelming.
Here’s what you can expect:
1. Initial Session
We’ll explore your current symptoms, history, goals, and what you need from therapy. This may include identifying triggers, past experiences, or patterns that are impacting your life today.
2. Safety & Stabilisation
Before processing traumatic memories, we prioritise safety and emotional regulation. You’ll learn tools to manage distress, ground yourself, and create inner stability.
3. Processing & Integration
When you feel ready, we may begin processing traumatic memories using EMDR, narrative work, or other trauma-focused methods, always with your full consent and control.
4. Reconnection & Growth
As healing unfolds, we focus on rebuilding a strong sense of self, reconnecting with values, and creating space for joy, purpose, and possibility again.
