Trauma & PTSD Therapy
Trauma-focused therapy for PTSD and the lasting effects of frightening, overwhelming or painful experiences.
How it helps
Trauma-focused therapies are first-line treatments for PTSD, recommended by the WHO, NICE, Australia's NHMRC and Phoenix Australia. Mind Health offers trauma-focused CBT and EMDR within a phased, paced approach — establishing safety and stability first, then reprocessing traumatic memories, then consolidating gains.
Care is trauma-informed throughout: you stay in control of the pace, and the work is adapted for single-incident or complex, developmental trauma.
Who it's for
People affected by single-incident or complex trauma — flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, numbing or avoidance that hasn't settled on its own.
What it helps with

What to expect
Safety & stabilisation
We build coping resources and a sense of safety before any trauma processing.
Processing
Using trauma-focused CBT or EMDR, distressing memories are processed at a pace you control.
Integration
We strengthen adaptive beliefs and check gains hold across situations that used to trigger you.
Fees & funding
Therapy sessions may attract a Medicare rebate under a Mental Health Care Plan (Better Access) — ask your GP whether you're eligible for up to 10 subsidised sessions a year. Most private health 'extras' also cover psychology. We'll explain the gap fee before you book.
