Online Therapy for Trauma & PTSD

Online Therapy for Trauma & PTSD

Experiencing trauma can leave lasting emotional, physical, and psychological effects — sometimes surfacing long after the event itself. Whether you’ve been through a single traumatic incident or a series of difficult life experiences, support is available.

At Highland Psychological Services, we offer a range of trauma-focused therapies online. Our experienced therapists use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and relaxation techniques to help you process trauma, reduce symptoms, and feel more in control again.

You might be:

  • 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 impact of childhood trauma or emotional neglect

  • Unsure how to move forward after a distressing life event

Whether your trauma is recent or historic, complex or difficult to define, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can help you understand your experience and begin to heal.

Our trauma and PTSD therapy is designed to support you in managing the emotional and physical effects of trauma in a safe, steady way – without pressure or judgement.

Therapy can help you:

  • Understand how trauma is affecting your thoughts, emotions, and body

  • Process distressing memories in a way that feels manageable

  • Reduce anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional overwhelm

  • Rebuild trust, safety, and a sense of personal control

  • Develop practical coping strategies for day-to-day stability

  • Feel more connected to yourself and others

We tailor therapy to your pace, preferences, and goals – creating a plan that works for you.
