Understanding PTSD: What It Is and How It Affects You
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a response to trauma—events that overwhelm your sense of safety or control. It can develop after accidents, loss, abuse, assault, or even long-term emotional stress.
Symptoms may include:
-
Flashbacks and distressing memories
-
Nightmares or trouble sleeping
-
Feeling constantly on edge
-
Emotional numbness or detachment
-
Avoiding reminders of the trauma
These symptoms can affect relationships, work, and your day-to-day life. But they are not a sign of weakness—they’re signs that your mind and body are still trying to process what happened.
At Eleos Counselling, we specialise in trauma counselling in Kirdford RH14, offering a space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported.
Experienced, Accredited PTSD Therapists Near You
Our therapists bring years of experience helping individuals recover from trauma. We are registered members of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)—the UK’s leading body for ethical, professional therapy.
We work with you at your pace, without pressure or judgment. Your safety and comfort always come first.
EMDR Therapy: A Proven Treatment for Trauma
We offer Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories.
Rather than avoiding painful memories, EMDR helps you process them in a new, healthier way—allowing you to move forward without being overwhelmed by the past.
Many of our clients have found EMDR to be:
-
Safe and non-invasive
-
Effective for single-event and complex trauma
-
Empowering and life-changing
If you’re looking for EMDR therapy in Kirdford RH14, we can help you explore whether it’s the right approach for you.
Therapy That Works for You
No two experiences of PTSD are the same. That’s why our therapy is personalised to you—your symptoms, your story, your pace. Whether you’re dealing with panic, emotional shutdown, or constant fear, we’ll work together to help you feel more stable and in control.
Our goal is not to “fix” you, but to help you reconnect with who you are beneath the trauma.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is PTSD, and how do I know if I have it?
PTSD is a mental health condition that can occur after trauma. If you’re experiencing flashbacks, nightmares, or high anxiety long after a distressing event, you may benefit from trauma therapy.
Is EMDR safe, and do I have to talk about the trauma?
Yes, EMDR is safe and well-researched. You don’t need to talk through every detail of the trauma—EMDR helps your brain process the memory gently.
How long does PTSD therapy take?
That depends on your needs. Some people feel relief after a few months, others prefer longer-term support. We’ll regularly review progress and adjust as needed.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. All sessions are confidential and follow BACP ethical guidelines. We will only share information if there are serious safety concerns—and we’d always speak with you first.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes. If you’re not able to attend in person, we also offer secure online counselling for PTSD and trauma.

“I never used to talk about what happened. I thought I could just move on. But the memories didn’t fade—they got louder. Nightmares, flashbacks, panic attacks out of nowhere. I’d find myself completely shut down, or constantly on edge, like I was waiting for something bad to happen. I thought I was broken.
After years of carrying this alone, I reached out to Eleos Counselling in West Sussex. I didn’t know what to expect, but I felt safe from the first session. My therapist didn’t rush me or push me to explain everything. She helped me understand that trauma isn’t just something that “goes away”—it changes how we feel, think, and relate to the world.
Week by week, we worked through it together. Slowly, I began to feel more grounded. I learned how to manage my anxiety and started sleeping better. For the first time in years, I could breathe without fear following me.
What helped most was knowing I wasn’t being judged. My therapist really listened. She understood trauma—how it hides, how it shows up in the body, how it lingers. That made all the difference.
I’m not the same person I was when I started. I’m stronger now. I still have tough days, but I don’t feel helpless anymore. If you’ve been through something traumatic and don’t know where to turn, Eleos Counselling is a good place to begin. They helped me get my life back.”
— Ruth, 42
