Eleos Counselling: PTSD Therapy Near Wisborough Green RH14

A Calm and Caring Approach to Trauma Recovery

When you’ve been through something overwhelming or traumatic, it’s common to feel stuck in the past—like the world isn’t safe, or like your emotions are too much to manage. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can leave you feeling anxious, disconnected, or on constant alert. But healing is possible—with the right support, things can get better.

At Eleos Counselling, we offer specialist PTSD therapy near Wisborough Green RH14, providing a safe, confidential space where you can feel understood and supported as you recover from trauma. Whether the trauma happened recently or long ago, we’re here to help you reconnect with yourself and your life.

What PTSD Can Feel Like

PTSD is more than a difficult memory—it’s your mind and body trying to protect you from further harm. But when this protection stays switched on, even in safe moments, it can lead to emotional distress and physical exhaustion.

Common signs of PTSD include:

• Flashbacks or intrusive memories

• Nightmares or broken sleep

• Feeling numb or emotionally disconnected

• Avoiding people, places, or conversations that remind you of the trauma

• Constant alertness, jumpiness, or irritability

• Panic attacks or generalised anxiety

• Difficulty trusting others or forming close relationships

• Struggles with self-worth, guilt, or shame

These symptoms are normal responses to abnormal events. You are not weak—and you are not alone.

How Therapy Can Help

Trauma isn’t something you can simply “get over.” It stays in the nervous system until it’s processed. At Eleos Counselling, we help you gently and safely work through trauma at your own pace.

Our therapy space near Wisborough Green RH14 is quiet, private, and non-judgmental. You don’t have to explain everything all at once, and you won’t be pushed to talk about things before you’re ready. Our goal is to help you feel grounded and supported as you begin your healing journey.

EMDR: A Proven and Gentle Therapy for Trauma

One of the most effective tools we use is Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR helps your brain process painful memories so they stop triggering intense emotional and physical reactions.

You don’t have to relive your trauma in detail. Instead, EMDR focuses on how the memory feels in your body now and uses gentle eye movements or taps to help you release it. Over time, the memory becomes less overwhelming, and the emotional charge begins to fade.

This approach is suitable for:

• PTSD and complex PTSD

• Childhood trauma

• Abuse and domestic violence

• Accidents, combat, or sudden loss

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I know if I need therapy for PTSD?

If you’re experiencing flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, or anxiety after a distressing event—and it’s interfering with your daily life—therapy can help. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to begin.

What’s the difference between PTSD and complex PTSD?

PTSD often stems from a single event, while complex PTSD results from repeated or long-term trauma, such as abuse or neglect. It can lead to difficulties with trust, emotions, and relationships. We support both.

Do I need to talk about what happened in detail?

Not at all. With EMDR, you don’t have to explain every detail of your trauma. Therapy is always led by your comfort and readiness.

Is EMDR safe for everyone?

Yes. EMDR is a well-researched, safe therapy suitable for most people. We’ll talk with you about whether it’s the right fit, and adapt it as needed.

How many sessions will I need?

Some people notice improvements within a few sessions; others choose longer-term support. We’ll work together to find a pace and structure that feels right for you.

Will my sessions be confidential?

Absolutely. We follow BACP and GDPR guidelines to ensure full confidentiality and data protection. Your safety and privacy are our priority.
