Your healing journey begins here...
Living with the aftermath of trauma can feel like carrying an invisible weight that others can't see or understand. Perhaps you've found yourself feeling on edge, struggling with nightmares or flashbacks, or feeling disconnected from the world around you. Maybe you've tried to explain your experiences to others, only to be met with well-meaning but unhelpful advice to "just move on" or "get over it".
At biio, we want you to know: your experiences are valid, your struggles are real, and you don't have to face this journey alone.
We understand that trauma affects every aspect of your life. It's not just about difficult memories - it's about the way trauma reshapes your view of the world, your relationships, and even your sense of self.
Whether you're a military veteran, a first responder, a survivor of childhood trauma, or someone dealing with the aftermath of a life-altering event, our team of trauma-specialised practitioners are committed to providing the compassionate, expert care you deserve. We're here to help you not just cope, but heal and grow beyond the difficult experiences of your past.

EMDR is a psychotherapy treatment designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. It involves guided eye movements while recalling traumatic events, helping the brain reprocess these memories. EMDR can significantly reduce the emotional impact of trauma, allowing clients to develop more adaptive coping mechanisms and achieve psychological healing.
Schema Therapy integrates elements from cognitive, behavioural, and psychodynamic therapies to address deep-rooted emotional patterns and beliefs formed by traumatic experiences. It helps clients identify and modify maladaptive schemas, improving emotional regulation and interpersonal relationships. This approach is particularly effective for complex trauma and long-standing emotional issues.
Resilience Counselling focuses on building emotional strength and adaptability. It helps individuals develop coping strategies to handle stress, adversity, and life challenges. This approach aims to enhance mental flexibility, problem-solving skills, and emotional regulation, enabling clients to bounce back from difficulties and thrive in the face of change. Our experienced psychologist, Michal Baghlani, is a certified resilience coach who brings expertise and specialised training to guide clients in developing and strengthening their resilience.
Biofeedback therapies use technology to provide real-time information about physiological processes, helping trauma survivors gain control over their body's stress responses. By learning to regulate functions like heart rate, muscle tension, and breathing, clients can reduce anxiety, improve relaxation, and manage trauma-related symptoms more effectively.
Clinical Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that uses hypnosis to create a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility. For trauma survivors, this technique can be particularly beneficial in accessing and reframing traumatic memories, reducing anxiety, and promoting relaxation. During sessions, a trained hypnotherapist guides clients into a trance-like state, allowing for exploration of subconscious thoughts and feelings related to their trauma. This approach can help in managing symptoms of PTSD, alleviating phobias, and enhancing overall emotional well-being. Clinical Hypnotherapy is often used in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities to provide a comprehensive approach to trauma healing.
DBT is a cognitive-behavioural approach that teaches skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. For trauma survivors, DBT helps manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviours, and improve relationships. It's particularly useful for those struggling with emotional dysregulation as a result of traumatic experiences.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy incorporates meditation and mindfulness practices into trauma treatment. It teaches clients to focus on the present moment non-judgementally, reducing stress, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms. This approach enhances self-awareness, emotional regulation, and overall mental well-being, providing trauma survivors with tools to manage distressing thoughts and emotions.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness strategies with behaviour change techniques. It teaches clients to accept unavoidable difficulties while committing to actions aligned with personal values. ACT aims to increase psychological flexibility, helping individuals lead more fulfilling lives despite challenges or mental health issues.
