What is Therapy?
​
Therapy is a collaborative and confidential process that offers a safe space to explore what’s going on in your life; emotionally, mentally, or relationally. We offer a professional support service with clinically registered counsellors, designed to help you work through challenges, build insight, and move toward the life you want to live.
​
Whether you're navigating trauma, stress, grief, identity, relationships, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can support you to make sense of your experiences, process emotions, develop coping strategies, and reconnect with your strengths.
​
At its core, counselling is about growth, clarity, and healing - offered through a respectful, compassionate relationship where you’re truly seen and heard.
​

Our Values & Commitments
At Core Trauma Therapy, our work is grounded in trauma-informed, client-centred, and anti-oppressive principles. We recognise that trauma does not occur in a vacuum and is often shaped by systems of power, colonisation, displacement, and inequity.
​
We acknowledge that we practice on unceded Aboriginal land and support Land Back movements that affirm First Nations sovereignty, healing, and self-determination.
We stand against genocide, occupation, and all forms of systemic violence, including those affecting Palestinian people and communities around the world. Our commitment to anti-genocidal values reflects our belief that healing is inseparable from justice, dignity, and the protection of human rights.
​
As a practice, we strive to:
-
provide care rooted in cultural humility, accountability, and ongoing learning,
-
welcome and affirm people of all identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences,
-
challenge systems that perpetuate harm while cultivating spaces for safety, connection, and restoration.
​​
Healing is a collective practice, and we are committed to doing our part with integrity, compassion, and responsibility.
