Talking therapies provide a supportive space to explore difficult feelings and experiences with a trained professional. This can be particularly beneficial if you’re struggling to process or understand trauma or if you wish to discuss your experiences in a confidential setting. It’s important to note that talking therapy doesn’t have to focus solely on resolving specific issues; it can also serve as a means for day-to-day support and improving communication.

There are no strict guidelines for which types of therapy are best for trauma, as the most effective approach varies for each individual. However, research suggests that therapy is often more beneficial when the therapist:

• Understands trauma: They may not have personally experienced trauma, but they should recognise its effects on individuals.
• Considers cultural and religious backgrounds: Acknowledging how these factors influence responses to trauma is crucial for effective support.
• Offers long-term engagement: Building trust often requires time, and long-term therapy can provide the necessary space for this process.
