Compassionate Help for PTSD and Trauma Recovery
Living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can feel exhausting and lonely. You might find yourself stuck in painful memories, avoiding people or places, or struggling to feel safe in the present moment. At Eleos Counselling, we offer professional PTSD therapy in Slinfold RH13, giving you a calm, private space to begin healing.
Our therapists are experienced in working with trauma and are registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Whether your trauma is recent or from years ago, we’re here to walk alongside you with care and understanding.
Understanding PTSD and Its Impact
PTSD can develop after a deeply upsetting or life-threatening experience, such as an accident, abuse, combat, grief, or witnessing something traumatic. These events can leave a lasting imprint, often showing up as:
-
Flashbacks or intrusive thoughts
-
Nightmares or disrupted sleep
-
Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected
-
Constant alertness or being easily startled
-
Avoidance of people, places, or memories
-
Irritability, anxiety, or angry outbursts
-
Difficulty focusing or feeling present
These symptoms can affect your work, relationships, and sense of peace. But with the right support, healing is possible.
EMDR: A Gentle but Powerful Approach to Trauma
At Eleos Counselling, we offer Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), one of the most effective therapies for PTSD. EMDR works by helping the brain reprocess traumatic memories, so they lose their emotional intensity and stop causing distress in daily life.
You don’t need to relive every detail of your trauma. Instead, EMDR gently supports your nervous system to process and release what’s been stuck. Many clients notice a shift after just a few sessions—feeling more grounded, safe, and in control.

We tailor therapy to you. Every experience of PTSD is different, so we work closely with you to understand your needs, your background, and what recovery means for you.

“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
