Trauma and Counselling

Trauma Therapy
Trauma is when we experience very stressful, frightening or distressing events that are difficult to cope with or that leaves a person out of control. In other words, trauma refers to the body or mind being overwhelmed by traumatic events. Psychological trauma in particular occurs as a result of a distressing event that leads the sufferer to question their beliefs while destroying their assumptions of trust.

Trauma Counselling seeks to explore your emotional and physical reactions to the event, and find healthy copying strategies and tools to help you process what has happened to you and cope with any reactions that you may be having, so that the trauma moves from being a current problem to a memory.

Counselling
We offer counselling to adults who are looking for professional assistance to address issues such as depression, anxiety, abuse and emotional trauma, low self-esteem, eating disorders, crisis such as bereavement and loss . Counselling can also be beneficial for individuals that have suffered from difficult life events, such as a relationship breakdown or work-related stress. Counselling is fundamentally a type of talking therapy that helps to bring about emotional relief as you are in a relaxed and confidential environment to be able to speak about your feelings.

We adopt an integrative approach to counselling including, the Five Circle theory, Christian counselling, Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing Therapy and Mindfulness Practise. Our modalities are underpinned by Carl Rogers’ Person centred therapy core conditions; Empathy, Unconditional Positive Regard, Congruence.

Community Outreach

Vision
The Whole Woman is a Trauma Informed Outreach with the vision to facilitate the Rebuilding and Restoration of Single Mums into wholeness, so that they can take control of their lives and raise children with better outcomes.

Mission
We believe that there is hope to Heal, Restart and Rebuild your life, regardless of the adversity you may have experienced. We want to build a community of Resilient and Whole single mothers, who are trauma free and operate in their true identity to live fulfilling lives and raise wholesome children.

Single parenting is not a walk through the park and as a single mum for several years, I understand the associated challenges.

Single parents are over burdened with varied responsibilities; caring for the children, taking care of the house, the yard, cooking meals, supporting the education of the children, attending to their health needs, performing taxi duties to and fro activities, and the list goes on. Even when they make an effort to manage everything, they are often still ridden with a feeling of inadequacy.

Our community support, provides a safe space and enrichment opportunities for self-care, promote their emotional wellbeing and improve their sense of self, so that they can show up on a daily basis in a better version of themselves.

Therapeutic Life Story Work

For children who have been removed from the care of their family and suffered many placement breakdowns, their life history can be extremely fragmented, leaving the child feeling lost and with no sense of belonging. This can impact hugely on their well-being and make the child very vulnerable in their present and future. Therapeutic Life Story Work offers children the opportunity to explore, question and understand past events of their life. Within this, it gives them a voice and safe space to feel and express their emotions when making sense of past experiences and the relation it has to their current thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
