Specialised Therapy for Trauma and Abuse

At The Summit Clinic, we specialise in providing evidence-based therapies to treat trauma and abuse. Whether you are struggling with PTSD, complex trauma, childhood abuse, or traumatic stress, our expert therapists use proven methods to guide you toward healing.

Our therapeutic approaches include:

  • EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing): A highly effective approach for processing traumatic memories. This research-supported method helps your brain naturally process difficult experiences, allowing you to move forward with greater peace and resilience.
  • Trauma-Focused CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy): Helps reframe distressing thoughts and reduce trauma symptoms. Our therapists guide you in processing traumatic experiences at your own pace, supporting you in building a stronger sense of safety and control.
  • Psychoanalytic psychotherapy: Builds self-compassion and alleviates trauma-related shame and self-blame. Through a trusting therapeutic relationship, this approach helps you develop deeper self-understanding and explore how past experiences influence present-day challenges.
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Supports emotional regulation for complex trauma. DBT provides practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, helping you build stability while processing difficult experiences.

Why It Matters: Specialised approaches ensure that treatment is tailored to your unique experiences and needs, maximising the effectiveness of therapy.
