Complex Trauma and Trauma Treatment: Psychologists in Melbourne
At the Centre for Clinical Psychology in Melbourne, we know trauma therapy.
We work with people who have experienced a range of traumatic events. This includes victims of sexual assault and childhood trauma, as well as those who have been involved in life threatening situations, natural disasters or workplace accidents. We also work with emergency service personnel. Most of all, we understand that it takes great courage to seek help.
All members of our team are trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) which is backed by research as an effective treatment for trauma/posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
We have also trained nearly over 860 mental health professionals in CPT across Australia, and thus we are highly skilled in helping people recover from trauma. Our team of psychologists understand how to treat trauma and complex trauma.
How can trauma affect mental health?
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex trauma (CPTSD) are serious mental health conditions that can develop after a person experiences or witnesses traumatic events. This might include physical or sexual assault, war, natural disasters, or accidents.
The symptoms of PTSD can vary from person to person, but they often include:
- High levels of arousal, irritability, feeling on edge, difficulty relaxing
- Flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts
- Avoidance behaviours – attempts to stay away from reminders of the traumatic event
- Feelings of shame, guilt, anger and sadness
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, it is important to seek the help of a highly trained mental health professional. The Centre for Clinical Psychology Melbourne has a reputation for providing effective,
targeted counselling and treatment for PTSD and complex PTSD. We have helped many people recover and move on with their lives.
What is trauma counselling?
The research shows that psychological therapy is the most effective way to recover from posttraumatic stress disorder. At the Centre for Clinical Psychology, our Melbourne-based team of trauma counsellors use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) with trauma survivors. We have also trained over 860 mental health professionals from around Australia in this effective, evidence-based treatment. We know trauma therapy, and we understand it takes great courage to seek help.
