Trauma isn’t only about a single dramatic event — it can also build from prolonged or repeated difficult experiences. However it happened, it can still affect how you think, feel and respond long after the event itself is over.
We offer trauma-informed therapy in East Kilbride, across Glasgow, and online across Scotland, paced entirely to suit you.
Something that happened is still affecting you, even though time has passed
Certain situations, places or reminders trigger a reaction stronger than you’d expect
You feel on edge or shut down in ways that don’t match what’s happening now
You’ve found it hard to talk about what happened, even to people close to you
Our approach is trauma-informed, which means sessions are organised around safety, trust and your pace throughout.
This is not about reliving everything in detail straight away. It usually starts with building safety and stability, and moves toward the specific experience only when — and if — that feels right for you.
It also means understanding that certain responses, including going blank, getting angry, or feeling nothing at all, are normal reactions to abnormal experience rather than problems in themselves.
Sessions run for fifty minutes. Trauma work doesn’t follow a fixed number of sessions — we’ll go at the pace that’s right for you and review together as we go
Sessions are available at The Greenbank Rooms in East Kilbride, with appointments also arranged across Glasgow.
Some people prefer not to travel for this work, particularly at the start. Online sessions are offered at the same rate and are a full option here, not a lesser one.
Stephen Knox works in a trauma-informed way, and his background in emergency services means first-hand experience of high-pressure, difficult situations alongside his clinical training in CBT.
No, not straight away, and not until you’re ready. Early sessions focus on stability and coping.
The approach is trauma-informed and CBT-based, with the pace and focus adapting to what’s happened to you.
It varies significantly. We won’t put a fixed timeline on it in advance.
You don’t need to decide that before getting in touch. If it’s still affecting you, that’s reason enough to talk to someone.Yes. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from support.
