Trauma and PTSD Counselling

Your journey to feeling better starts here.

Support for

Trauma-Informed Support for PTSD, Complex Trauma and Painful Experiences

Counselling in English or French.

Trauma can stay with you long after the event is over. You might feel on guard, jumpy or numb, relive moments you’d rather forget, or feel disconnected from yourself and others. Some people know exactly what happened; others just know something doesn’t feel right. Either way, your reactions make sense, and healing is possible. Trauma counselling in Moncton with our team is gentle and trauma-informed, so you stay in control of what you share and when.

Our sessions are available in-person at our Moncton office, virtually, or by phone for clients anywhere in Canada.

When to seek support

Is Trauma Counselling Right for You?

You don’t have to name what happened or have the right words to begin. Many people come to us feeling on edge, numb or stuck without connecting it to trauma.

If any of these sound familiar, support could help:



You have flashbacks, nightmares or memories that come back without warning.



You feel constantly on edge, easily startled, or unable to relax.



You avoid people, places or reminders connected to what happened.



You feel numb, disconnected, or stuck in shame or self-blame.



A past or recent experience, such as an accident, assault, loss or difficult birth, still affects your daily life.

Who We Help

Every Story Is Welcome Here

We support teens (16+), adults and seniors healing from single events and from long-term or childhood trauma. You don’t need a diagnosis, and you never have to share more than you’re ready to.

How we work

Trauma Counselling in Moncton: Trauma-Informed and Somatic Therapy

Trauma lives in the body as well as the mind, so we focus on helping your nervous system feel safe before going deeper. Using somatic and polyvagal-informed therapy, EMDR and other evidence-based approaches, we build grounding skills first, then gently work through what happened so it has less power over your present.

What We Can Help With:

PTSD and Post-Traumatic Stress

Flashbacks, nightmares and feeling constantly on guard after a frightening event. We help your mind and body learn that the danger has passed.

Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) and Childhood Trauma

Long-term or early experiences can shape how you see yourself and others. We gently help you heal old wounds and build a sense of safety.

Accidents, Injuries and Medical Trauma

Car accidents, workplace injuries or difficult medical experiences can leave lasting fear and stress. We support both the emotional impact and your recovery.

Birth Trauma

A difficult or frightening birth can affect you long after. We offer a caring space to process what happened and feel more like yourself again.

Sexual Assault and Abuse

Healing at your own pace, in a space where you’re believed and in control. You never have to share more than you’re ready to.

Shame, Flashbacks and Hypervigilance

Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, ashamed or disconnected. We help you calm these responses and reconnect with yourself.

Our Therapeutic Approaches:

Somatic and Polyvagal-Informed Therapy

Trauma is held in the body, so we work with it gently. These approaches help your nervous system feel safe again.

Trauma-Informed Care

Every session puts your safety, choice and control first. You decide what to share and when.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Uses guided eye movements or tapping to help your brain process painful memories. Over time, the memories feel less intense and distressing.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Helps you work through trauma-related beliefs like self-blame or feeling unsafe. You’ll build more balanced, compassionate ways of thinking.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Skills

Practical skills to manage overwhelming emotions and stay grounded. Helpful for coping with triggers day to day.

Narrative Therapy

Helps you tell your story in a way that honours your strength. What happened is part of your story, not all of who you are.
