Trauma Therapy in W1G and Online

What is Trauma?

Trauma refers to the emotional effects that result from experiencing a highly distressing or stressful event. These events can vary in impact, as what one person finds traumatic may not affect others in the same way. Trauma can disrupt your sense of safety, self-worth, and emotional regulation, influencing relationships and leading to feelings of helplessness, shame, and fear. Early-life trauma can be particularly difficult, and unprocessed emotions from childhood may intensify as you grow older, making it crucial to address these feelings to prevent long-term emotional distress.


What are the causes of Trauma? 

Trauma is often triggered by experiencing a distressing event, whether recent or in the past. A trauma response can be caused by single or repeated traumatic experiences. When multiple events occur, this is known as complex trauma. Triggers may resurface memories, leading to emotional reactions. These triggers are often linked to the senses, such as smells, sounds, sights, or specific textures, and can remind you of what happened before or during the event. Examples of trauma include car accidents, violence, natural disasters, childhood neglect, abuse, etc. 


What is the impact of Trauma?

While triggers are usually harmless, they can make your body respond as though you're in danger, activating the fight/flight/freeze response. When thoughts or memories of the trauma persist or worsen, it may result in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which disrupts emotional regulation. Trauma can also harm relationships, making it difficult to set boundaries or trust others, especially if your trauma is linked to a relationship. This may lead to being drawn into unhealthy dynamics similar to those that caused the trauma.

trauma is treated through various therapeutic approaches, tailored to the individual’s needs:

  1. Trauma-Focused Therapy: Specifically addresses the emotional and psychological impact of trauma.
  2. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns related to the trauma.
  3. Narrative Therapy: focuses on encouraging individuals to reframe their traumatic story, gaining empowerment.


Your therapist will begin by generating a safe and supportive environment for you - whether online or face to face in W1G. They will want to know background information about you, your current feelings, thoughts and the traumatic experience/s you've encountered. They may introduce techniques such as mindfulness, grounding and emotional regulation strategies to help you process your emotions as you share these difficult experiences. They will ask you about the triggers that generate the distressing response to your trauma. 

The most important aspect in the initial session would. be to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship. 


Sessions are typically on a weekly basis and last 50 minutes. The same day and time will be reserved for you should you wish to overcome trauma and engage in regular therapy. The sessions are offered face to face or online, depending on availability and preferences. 


The fee depends on the practitioner and their level of experience. Dr. Sharmins fee is £170. You can find more information on Dr. Sharmin here. 


You can contact us to arrange a free 15min call to discuss your situation with Dr. Sharmin Aktar. You can ask her any questions that you have related to this and she will offer you a confidential and supportive space to open up. This is a great way to see if you are ready for therapy.
