The approach

What is trauma informed care?

Less a technique than a stance: assume trauma may be present, prioritise safety and choice, and avoid recreating dynamics of powerlessness in the therapy itself. In practice it means you're not pushed to recount events before you're ready, you control the pace, and stabilisation comes before processing. Specific modalities like EMDR, CPT and trauma-focused CBT sit inside this frame.

Before you book

What to check before booking trauma informed care

The questions that separate a good fit from an expensive false start. Ask them before the first paid session, not after.

  1. 1

    Distinguish the stance from the training

    Every therapist should be trauma-informed. Treating trauma is separate, ask specifically about EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, CPT or Somatic Experiencing.

  2. 2

    Ask about pacing and stabilisation

    Good trauma work builds coping capacity before touching the memories. A therapist who goes straight to the event in session one is a risk.

  3. 3

    Check the crisis plan for online work

    Processing trauma over video means the therapist can't be in the room if you're overwhelmed. Ask what their protocol is and agree it in advance.
