We are here to help

Trauma and crisis can overwhelm the nervous system and disrupt the way you think, feel, and relate to the world. After distressing or threatening experiences, many people notice symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, intrusive memories, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, sleep disturbance, or a constant sense of being on edge. Everyday tasks and relationships can start to feel exhausting or unsafe, even long after the event has passed.

At Blue Healers Counselling, we offer trauma-informed, compassionate support for people navigating the effects of trauma and crisis. Counselling provides a safe, confidential space to slow things down, understand what your system is responding to, and gently restore a sense of safety and stability. You don’t need to relive or retell everything at once. We work at a pace that feels manageable, grounded, and respectful of your capacity.

Our approach recognises that trauma responses are not signs of weakness — they are protective reactions shaped by experience. Therapy may involve learning how trauma affects the brain and nervous system, developing grounding and regulation skills, processing distressing experiences when appropriate, and rebuilding trust in your body, emotions, and relationships. Support is tailored to your needs and may draw on trauma-informed counselling, acceptance-based strategies, and person-centred approaches.

Counselling is not only about managing symptoms in the moment. It is also about long-term healing, growth, and reconnection. With the right support, many people find they regain emotional balance, confidence, and a clearer sense of direction. Trauma may be part of your story, but it does not have to define your future.

Reaching out for support is a meaningful step. If trauma, crisis, or emotional overwhelm are affecting your wellbeing, relationships, or ability to function day to day, help is available. Sessions are offered in person in Graceville, Brisbane, and online Australia-wide. We invite you to book online or contact us to begin your recovery journey.

Trauma & Crisis Counselling FAQs

What is trauma counselling?

Trauma counselling helps people understand and recover from experiences that overwhelmed their ability to cope. It focuses on restoring safety, regulating the nervous system, and reducing distressing symptoms such as anxiety, hypervigilance, or intrusive memories.

Do I need to talk about the trauma in detail?

No. Trauma-informed counselling does not require you to retell or relive events unless and until it feels safe and appropriate. Sessions are paced carefully, focusing first on stability, safety, and coping.

Can counselling help with recent crises?

Yes. Crisis counselling supports people during acute stress, shock, or emotional overwhelm. The focus is on grounding, stabilisation, and helping you regain a sense of control during a difficult period.

How long does trauma counselling take?

The length of counselling varies for each person. Some people benefit from short-term support, while others engage in longer-term therapy. Progress is guided by your needs, goals, and capacity.

Do I need a referral to book?

No referral is required. You can book directly for in-person sessions in Graceville, Brisbane, or online counselling Australia-wide.
