PTSD counselling
Regain your peace of mind
If you experience a traumatic event (or events) it can leave a lasting impact. You might find yourself being highly reactive, having intrusive thoughts or even experiencing intense feelings of fear and helplessness. These impacts can devastate your life and your relationships.
If you find yourself reliving the event through flashbacks or nightmares, avoiding situations that remind you of it, or feeling on edge and irritable, you may be suffering from PTSD. At The Grass Tree Group, we specialise in evidence-based treatments for PTSD designed to help you find relief and regain control over your life.
How do we approach PTSD treatment at The Grass Tree Group?
Our clinicians use a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to treat trauma and PTSD. We look at both the impacts of the trauma, and the trauma itself, to conceptualise personalised support that addresses your unique experiences and needs. We don’t have any cookie cutter treatments – but approach every situation with the strategies and tools that are most useful.
Our team are professionals and are highly skilled in treating PTSD. From techniques to manage intrusive thoughts and emotional regulation to strategies for coping with hyperarousal and avoidance, we’re committed to your recovery.

Frequently asked questions
Absolutely not. While a significant number of veterans do suffer from PTSD, it can impact anyone and arise from a wide range of traumatic incidents. These might include sexual or physical assault, abuse, an accident or even natural disasters.
A therapist who is experienced with PTSD can diagnose PTSD. But you might consider seeking such a diagnosis if you are experiencing flashbacks, nightmares or frightening thoughts, or if you find you’re avoiding places, events of objects that remind you of an experience, if you feel numb, guilty, depressed or worried or if you’re losing interest in activities you normally enjoyed.
PTSD is a mental illness, and like most mental illnesses, it’s not curable. However, also like most mental illnesses it is very treatable. The goal for PTSD treatments is to see the symptoms resolved and we can certainly do that together.
PTSD can be developed by anyone at any age. Though it’s often associated with people in the military, or who have experienced extreme trauma, it can also be experienced by people who have been the victims of abuse, who have experienced an accident, a disaster or some other traumatic event.
