Trauma counselling in Geelong

Based in Drysdale, supporting Geelong clients and Australia-wide via telehealth

Trauma often shapes the way we think, feel and respond to the world around us. It may result from a single distressing event or from repeated experiences that overwhelm your ability to cope. At Happy Minds Psychology, we provide professional trauma counselling designed to help you process these experiences safely, at a pace that feels manageable, and with care that prioritises your emotional wellbeing.

Trauma responses can appear in many ways, including anxiety, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, intrusive memories, relationship difficulties, or shifts in mood. Our psychologists offer a calm, supportive, and trauma-informed space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported as you make sense of these experiences and begin the healing process.

Understanding trauma and PTSD

Trauma is not defined by the event itself, but by how it is experienced and processed by the nervous system. While some individuals develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress, others may experience more subtle, ongoing effects that impact daily life, relationships, and emotional wellbeing.

We provide PTSD therapy and broader trauma informed psychology services to support individuals with a range of trauma experiences. Working with a qualified trauma psychologist can help you understand how trauma has impacted your body and mind, and support recovery through evidence-based care.

Complex and developmental trauma support in Geelong

Some individuals experience trauma over extended periods, often during childhood or within relationships, which can lead to complex trauma responses. Complex trauma counselling focuses on restoring a sense of safety, emotional regulation and trust, while gradually addressing past experiences.

We also offer childhood trauma therapy, recognising the long-term impact early experiences can have on self-esteem, relationships and emotional wellbeing. Therapy is paced carefully and guided by your readiness and goals.

Trauma counselling across life stages

Trauma can occur at any stage of life, including during pregnancy or early parenthood. Perinatal trauma counselling supports individuals who have experienced distressing or overwhelming events related to pregnancy, birth or the postnatal period.

Our trauma counselling approach is flexible and responsive, acknowledging the unique context and needs of each individual.

For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, telehealth sessions provide secure, flexible, and private trauma counselling. Our online trauma-informed psychology services appointments maintain the same professional, evidence-based care as face-to-face sessions while reducing barriers such as travel, scheduling, or comfort concerns.

Telehealth trauma counselling is available Australia-wide and is especially supportive for those who feel safer engaging in therapy from home.

If you are seeking compassionate trauma counselling in Geelong or via telehealth, Happy Minds Psychology is here to help. We also support related concerns, including ADHD & ASD coaching and anxiety, recognising that trauma often intersects with other mental health experiences.
