trauma therapy

approach

At Central Island Counselling it is our sacred honour to join with a client who has experienced trauma. We know how important it is to create safety and reduce the intensity and discomfort surrounding the trauma treatment process. We use only evidence-based and best practice approaches. Our primary treatment modality for treating trauma is EMDR which stands for Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Please see below for more information.
