Trauma & PTSD Therapy in Inverness and the Highlands
Trauma & PTSD therapy
Compassionate support for healing and recovery
Experiencing trauma can have a profound and lasting impact on your emotional, physical, and psychological wellbeing. For some, the effects appear soon after a distressing event; for others, they may surface months or even years later. Whatever your experience, you do not have to face it alone.
At Oakwood Mind & Body, we provide specialist trauma-focused therapy in a safe, supportive, and confidential environment. Our goal is to help you make sense of your experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and gently move towards a greater sense of stability, control, and wellbeing.
We use a range of proven, trauma-informed therapies to support your recovery. These may include:
- EMDR therapy
- Clinical hypnotherapy
- Cognitive behavioural therapy
- Mindfulness-based approaches
- Relaxation and nervous system regulation techniques
- Integrative and person-centred counselling
Your therapy will always be shaped around your individual needs, preferences, and pace. There is no pressure to talk about anything before you feel ready — we move forward together in a way that feels safe and manageable for you.
Trauma & PTSD therapy
Understanding trauma and PTSD
Trauma can result from a single overwhelming event or from a series of difficult or painful experiences over time. It affects everyone differently and can influence how you think, feel, and relate to the world around you.
You may be seeking support if you are:
Living with symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Experiencing flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts
Feeling constantly on edge, numb, or emotionally overwhelmed
Struggling with trust, relationships, or a sense of safety
Carrying the effects of childhood trauma or emotional neglect
Finding it difficult to move forward after a distressing life event

How trauma therapy can help
Trauma therapy is designed to support both the emotional and physical effects of trauma in a steady, structured, and compassionate way. Through therapy, you can:
- Understand how trauma is affecting your thoughts, emotions, and body
- Process distressing memories at a pace that feels right for you
- Reduce anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional overwhelm
- Rebuild trust and a sense of personal safety
- Develop practical coping strategies for daily life
- Feel more connected to yourself and others
The focus is not only on reducing symptoms, but on helping you regain a sense of control and resilience.
