Counselling for Trauma and Abuse Survivors in Wellington

Trauma can stem from many different experiences — childhood events, emotional abuse, sexual harm, medical procedures, family violence, or memories that are hard to put into words but still live in your body.
Whatever your experience, you are worthy of support. Trauma counselling is here to help you gently reconnect with a sense of safety — in your body, your thoughts, and your everyday life.

How Trauma Can Show Up in Everyday Life

Feeling constantly on edge or easily startled
Finding it hard to trust others or get close to people
Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected
Experiencing flashbacks, nightmares, or distressing memories
Avoiding situations, people, or places that feel unsafe
Carrying guilt, shame, or self-blame about what happened
Dealing with physical symptoms like exhaustion, tightness, or pain
Feeling stuck in survival mode with no sense of relief
Intense emotional shifts without a clear cause
Struggling to set boundaries or feeling overly responsible for others

Testimonials

Trauma & Abuse Counselling Wellington

Don’t just listen to us. Here are what our clients say about us.

I’d carried things for years

“I’d carried things for years without realising how much they were affecting me. Counselling helped me start connecting the dots — and gave me a place where I didn’t feel so alone with it all.”
– Ava, Christchurch

I used to think I just had to ‘get over it

“I used to think I just had to ‘get over it.’ But working through it slowly, with someone who actually listened, helped me see I’m not broken — I was just carrying too much for too long.”
– Leila, Christchurch

I never felt judged or pushed. Just supported

“It took me a while to reach out, but I’m so glad I did. I never felt judged or pushed. Just supported. For the first time in a long time, I feel safe in my own skin again.”
– Matt, Canterbury
