Trauma Counselling
You’re Not Alone in This
Trauma can take many forms, and its effects often linger long after the event has passed. Whether you’re living with the impact of a single incident or coping with the weight of ongoing experiences, trauma therapy can offer a path toward healing.
At Stepping Stones Counselling Group, we provide trauma counselling in Kelowna and online. We’re here to support you with care, patience, and respect, meeting you wherever you are in your healing process.
Understanding Emotional Trauma
Trauma looks different for everyone.
Therapy for emotional trauma isn’t just for people who have experienced a significant event. It can help with the lasting effects of childhood neglect, emotional abuse, accidents, loss, violence, and more. You might notice lingering feelings of fear, shame, guilt, detachment, or feel stuck in patterns that don’t make sense to you.
These are valid responses to trauma, and they deserve care.
You may benefit from trauma counselling if you:
Avoid places, people, or memories that trigger discomfort
Feel numb, disconnected, or on edge
Experience nightmares, flashbacks, or sleep disturbances
Struggle with trust, relationships, or emotional regulation
Feel overwhelmed by past events you haven’t fully processed
Support for PTSD and Complex Trauma
Not all wounds are visible. If you’re living with PTSD or complex trauma, counselling can provide long-term support as you process the layers of your experience. Our counsellors offer compassionate, research-backed care that meets you at your pace.
Counselling for Past Abuse or Trauma
Talking about past experiences of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse can be incredibly hard. Many people worry they won’t be believed, understood, or supported. At Stepping Stones, our counsellors provide a safe, supportive space where you can take your time, speak freely, and know that your experiences will be met with care and respect.
Seeking counselling for past abuse or trauma can help you rebuild a sense of safety, trust, and self-worth. Our approach is gentle and collaborative, always guided by your comfort level and personal goals.
