Trauma & Childhood Issues
At Chippenham Counselling Practice, I understand how early experiences can leave lasting emotional marks. Trauma and unresolved childhood issues can quietly shape how you think, feel and relate as an adult. Based in Pewsham, Chippenham, and offering both in-person and online sessions, I work with adults aged 18+ to help process difficult memories, restore self-worth and rebuild emotional stability.
Understanding trauma & childhood experiences
Trauma doesn’t always come from one event. It might arise from ongoing neglect, emotional absence, bullying or family conflict. You may notice patterns; feeling unsafe in relationships, struggling with trust, or reliving the past through flashbacks or nightmares. Some people find they minimise their experiences, telling themselves “it wasn’t that bad” even when the pain persists. These wounds can quietly impact confidence, self-image and emotional regulation well into adulthood.
How Counselling Helps
Counselling provides a safe, consistent space to explore what happened and how it continues to affect you. My integrative humanistic approach combines empathy, grounding tools and gentle exploration to help you process experiences at your own pace. In Pewsham, Chippenham, or online, you’ll find a confidential setting to re-establish safety, understand emotional triggers, and begin developing a more secure sense of self.
