With over twenty years of clinical experience, Wendy integrates various therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, somatic therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), to effectively address and alleviate trauma-related challenges.

Conditions Addressed Through Trauma Therapy

Wendy Corliss supports clients facing a range of trauma-related conditions. Individuals who have PTSD often experience symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, and intense anxiety. Wendy assists them in managing these distressing symptoms, promoting a sense of safety and stability. 

Those dealing with complex grief find it challenging to navigate prolonged feelings of loss that interfere with daily functioning. Through compassionate guidance, Wendy helps them work through their grief, fostering healing and adjustment. 

Additionally, survivors of domestic violence and abuse, whether physical, emotional, or sexual, are provided with a safe and supportive environment to process their experiences and begin their journey towards healing.

Specialised Therapeutic Techniques

Wendy employs a variety of evidence-based techniques to address trauma effectively. Psychodynamic psychotherapy delves into the psychological origins of emotional suffering, helping clients understand how past experiences influence their current behaviour. This deep exploration facilitates meaningful insights and lasting change. Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between the mind and body, addressing the physical responses to trauma. By recognising and releasing stored tension and stress, clients can achieve comprehensive healing. EMDR therapy assists individuals in processing and diminishing the impact of traumatic memories through guided eye movements, enabling them to recover more quickly and effectively.
