Ms Elizabeth Berlasso

About Me
With over 25 years of experience, this practice offers a dedicated space to renegotiate the lasting impact of trauma. Individuals navigating PTSD, complex, or developmental trauma find support here. The work also extends to related challenges like depression, anxiety, chronic illness, and stress management. Sessions help understand how past experiences shape present well-being, offering a path towards greater stability. Clients seeking an experienced, thoughtful approach to profound personal struggles will find dedicated guidance.
Approach
Working from decades in private healthcare, I guide steady, paced exploration of how difficult events continue to shape daily life, using gentle tracking of body sensations, short practical practices, and clear safety steps to make change manageable. Sessions in Halifax or by secure online appointments in English move between focused skill-building, crisis-focused support when needed, and reflective work that ties patterns to present choices; I often suggest brief between-session experiments to test new responses. People seeking steady, pragmatic renegotiation of traumatic impact tend to find this approach helpful.
