All Trauma Warriors trauma therapists have training in at least Level 1 Psychosynthesis and specialist training in attachment, early childhood, complex and developmental trauma.
We work with adults navigating the impact of trauma, including adverse childhood experiences (ACES), childhood emotional neglect (CEN), attachment trauma, complex (C-PTSD) or developmental trauma. This often shows up in ways that don’t immediately look like trauma, such as addictive or compulsive patterns, self-destructive or protective ways of coping, chronic low self-worth, and repeating patterns in relationships.
Our work goes beyond being trauma-informed. We are trained to work with trauma at depth.
Our trauma therapists draw from depth psychotherapies, including Jungian, psychoanalytic and soul-centred approaches, alongside evidence-based and contemporary trauma modalities. These may include parts-based work such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT tapping), somatic approaches, HAES-informed practice, ecotherapy and creative modalities such as equine therapy, therapeutic collage and art therapy.
Our approach is relational and depth-oriented. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we work with the underlying attachment experiences and internal patterns that shape how you feel, relate, and cope. This includes working with the parts of you that had to go into hiding to feel safe (such as the inner child), the early relational wounds, and the impact of not having your emotional world met or understood.
Sessions provide a consistent, safe space where you can begin to process your trauma, regulate overwhelming feelings, and develop a more stable and compassionate sense of self over time.
We offer trauma therapy across Australia, including in-person and online sessions, making it accessible wherever you are.
