Trauma Counselling: Safe Recovery
Understanding Trauma
Trauma is an emotional response to deeply distressing or disturbing events that overwhelm your ability to cope. It can affect anyone and may result from a single event, ongoing situations, or past experiences. Trauma can impact your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

Trauma can take many forms, including:
- Childhood trauma

- Domestic or family violence
- Accidents or medical emergencies
- Grief and loss
- Witnessing or experiencing violence
- Life transitions or sudden changes
How does Trauma Show?
Trauma can show up in many different ways, both emotionally and physically. Common signs include anxiety, sadness, irritability, trouble sleeping, flashbacks, nightmares, feeling numb or disconnected, difficulty trusting others, and avoiding reminders of the traumatic event. You might also notice physical symptoms like headaches, fatigue, or changes in appetite. Everyone’s experience is unique, and these symptoms can appear soon after the trauma or even years later. If you’re noticing these signs, reaching out for support can help you understand and manage your responses.

Stress, Anxiety & Depression COUNSELLING: Gentle Guidance
Understanding Stress, Anxiety, and Depression
Life’s challenges can bring stress, anxiety, and depression—each affecting your wellbeing in different ways.
- Stress often arises from external pressures, such as work, family, or major life changes, and can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term).
- Anxiety involves persistent worry or fear, ranging from generalised anxiety to social anxiety or panic attacks.
- Depression is more than low mood; it’s a persistent feeling of sadness, hopelessness, or loss of interest in things you once enjoyed, and can include types like major depression, situational depression, or seasonal affective disorder.
How Counselling Can Help
Counselling creates a safe, confidential space to explore your feelings, identify triggers, and develop effective coping strategies. Whether you’re facing overwhelming stress, ongoing anxiety, or depression, professional support can help you understand your experiences, build resilience, and find hope for positive change.
Who can suffer?
Anyone can experience stress, anxiety, or depression—regardless of age, gender, background, or life stage. These challenges can affect children, teens, adults, and older adults alike, whether triggered by major life events, ongoing pressures, or sometimes without a clear cause. Even those who appear strong or successful on the outside may struggle internally. If you’re finding it hard to cope, remember you’re not alone, and support is available.
Approaches Used
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Helps reframe negative thoughts and develop healthier responses.
- Narrative Therapy: Encourages you to re-author your story and find new meaning.
- Solution-Focused Therapy: Focuses on strengths and practical steps forward.
- Trauma-Informed Care: Supports healing in a safe, empathetic environment.
How do I know I am suffering from Stree, Anxiety or Depression?
It’s not always easy to recognise when you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression, but some common signs can help you identify when to seek support. You might notice persistent feelings of sadness, worry, or overwhelm, trouble sleeping, changes in appetite, loss of interest in activities, difficulty concentrating, or feeling tired all the time. You may also experience irritability, withdrawal from friends and family, or physical symptoms like headaches and muscle tension. If these feelings or symptoms are affecting your daily life or lasting more than a couple of weeks, it’s a good idea to reach out for help—counselling can provide guidance and support as you navigate these challenges.
Flexible, Accessible Support
Emotiva Counselling offers stress, anxiety, and depression counselling in person in the Scenic Rim, Logan, and south of Brisbane, as well as online across Australia via secure video. Access support in a way that feels comfortable and convenient for you—wherever you are.
