Our Services

Through a holistic and trauma-informed approach, Ilona personalises your treatment using a variety of evidence-based therapies.

Trauma Counselling

Trauma happens when you go through an event that's so distressing it overwhelms your usual ability to cope, leaving you feeling powerless and significantly impacting your sense of self and emotional wellbeing. The impact of trauma can manifest in emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms, often intertwined in a complex web of distress.

HELP WITH TRAUMA

EMDR Therapy

EMDR Therapy offers a transformative solution for individuals experiencing the lingering effects of trauma. By directly addressing the root cause of your struggles, this empathetic approach significantly alleviates or even resolves emotional and physical reactions, promoting long-lasting relief from symptoms and fostering enduring healing.

Help with Depression

While it's normal to feel down occasionally, persistent emptiness and despair may indicate depression. This condition can leave you exhausted and make even small tasks overwhelming. Depression is more than just a bad day – it’s a pervasive issue that can silently reshape every aspect of life.

HELP WITH DEPRESSION

Help with Anxiety

Navigating life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, and many of us may experience anxiety as a result. Anxiety is a natural human response to stress and uncertain situations, but when it becomes persistent and interferes with our daily lives, it may indicate an anxiety disorder.

HELP WITH ANXIETY

EMDR Consultations

Ilona offers Individual and Group EMDR Therapy Consultations that provide personalised guidance and support to help Mental Health Professionals navigate the complexities of EMDR therapy.

FIND OUT MORE

Are distressing memories from the past disrupting your peace of mind today?

Have you recently experienced a traumatic event?

Do you often feel anxious, worried, or depressed?

Are you overwhelmed by your emotions and the challenges of daily life?

Are you finding it difficult to maintain healthy relationships with those around you?

If any of these resonate with you, it’s possible that you’re dealing with PTSD or C-PTSD (Complex PTSD).

Many people struggle with uncertainty about whether their experiences qualify as ‘real’ trauma, often downplaying their own pain. This is a common response, but it can make seeking the support you need more challenging.

You might be feeling stuck – unable to move forward in life, struggling with work, feeling isolated and alone, and repeatedly haunted by disturbing thoughts and images from the past. Perhaps you’ve tried therapy before, or explored self-help resources, but still feel like you’re not living to your full potential. If this sounds familiar, know that you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place.

Welcome to The Trauma Counselling Centre, a private practice dedicated to trauma therapy. Here, you’ll find a compassionate space where healing and growth are possible.
