What is Trauma Therapy?
At inMind Psychological Services, we offer integrative, trauma-informed therapy for individuals navigating PTSD, complex trauma, and emotional or relational difficulties. Our approach is grounded in compassion, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based care—tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re experiencing emotional flashbacks, chronic anxiety, or long-standing patterns shaped by past experiences, we’re here to support you in building stability and reconnecting with your sense of self.
Our Therapeutic Approach
Integrative, Evidence-Based, and Client-Centred
Our therapy is integrative, meaning we blend a range of models to suit each individual. These include:
We always work collaboratively, tailoring interventions to your needs and preferences.
Dr Larissa Johnson and the inMind team have specialist expertise in working with individuals who have complex trauma histories, personality difficulties, and challenges in trusting professionals. We strive to create a safe, validating, and non-judgemental space where growth becomes possible.
What to Expect
A Clear Pathway Through Healing and Integration
Safety and Stabilisation
Emotional regulation, coping skills, establishing internal and external safety.
Trauma Processing
Revisiting and processing traumatic memories using methods like EMDR, narrative therapy, or cognitive processing. Clients can engage with memories at a pace that feels safe—many techniques don’t require sharing every detail aloud.
Reconnection
Rebuilding identity, reconnecting with others, restoring meaning, and creating a life beyond trauma. This may include relational healing, advocacy, or personal growth.
How Therapy Works
What to Expect From Your First Contact
We start with a free 20–30 minute consultation call. This is a chance for us to learn more about what you’re looking for and how we can help—and for you to ask questions and get a sense of whether we’re the right fit.
From your very first session, we focus on building trust, consent, and a sense of emotional safety. You set the pace and have full autonomy over what you choose to share. We uphold strict confidentiality, only breaking it if there is a risk of harm to you or someone else.

Is This for You?
“We work at your pace, not ours.”
“Trauma therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about reconnecting with your strength, your voice, and your worth. I approach every client with respect and deep belief in their capacity for change, no matter how complex their journey has been.”
– Dr. Larissa Johnson, Clinical Director

Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy
How long does trauma therapy take?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some people benefit from a short series of sessions focused on stabilisation or skill-building, while others engage in longer-term therapy to explore and process complex trauma histories. We work collaboratively to set goals and review progress regularly. You’re always in control of the pace and duration.
What is EMDR and how does it work?
Is therapy in-person or online?
The majority of our therapy sessions are delivered online via secure, encrypted video platforms. This ensures accessibility, flexibility, and comfort—particularly for individuals with busy schedules or those who feel safest in their own space.
In some cases, we may be able to offer in-person sessions depending on clinician availability and your location. If you’re interested in in-person therapy, please mention this during your consultation and we’ll explore whether it’s a feasible option.
Do you offer sliding scale or reduced fees?
Yes. While our standard session fee is £150, we offer sliding scale spaces at reduced rates for individuals who are unemployed or earning minimum wage. Availability for these spaces is limited, so we encourage early inquiry if this applies to you.
Will I have to talk about my trauma in detail?
Not if you don’t want to. We follow a phased approach to trauma therapy, beginning with stabilisation and safety. When you’re ready to explore your trauma history, we’ll do so gently, using methods that don’t always require retelling every detail. Your consent, boundaries, and emotional safety guide the process at all times.
What if I’ve never done therapy before?
That’s completely okay. Many of our clients are new to therapy. We’ll take time to explain the process, answer your questions, and support you in feeling grounded and informed. Your first step is just a conversation—we’ll go from there together.
