Our Ethos
At the Adelaide Trauma Centre we have a shared commitment to offer therapy that is compassionate, attuned, holistic, and safe. We hold a priority to make the best possible care available to treat trauma here in Adelaide.
We seek to maintain a stance of collaboration with our clients - allowing space for shared discovery of the unknown and undefined. We want people to experience trust and safety in their sessions with us
We focus on empowerment and cooperative self-determination for individuals and groups.
We see people as more than the component parts of thoughts, emotions, and behaviour -but conceptualize the individual as a system capable of being impacted by their environment, relationships, and adversity. We seek to provide an approach that incorporates understandings of the impact of trauma on the nervous system and wider body system and we incorporate working with these systems in therapy.
Seeing beyond symptom management- we are seeking to support hope, healing, and personal growth for our clients. We seek to support a renewed sense of purpose for individuals’ future, and a renewed or more positive sense of themselves and their capacities.
We value continued learning and development for ourselves- seeking out the best training that we can find around the world. Beyond this, we also place a high value on our own individual self-growth as individuals and professionals.
