Sylvia

Ms Sylvia Huntington

Social Worker (Mental Health)

An experienced therapist specialising in innovative treatment for PTSD and CPTSD.

About Me

I offer compassionate support for individuals navigating the profound impact of PTSD and CPTSD. We work together to explore innovative ways of processing past experiences. My approach helps you reclaim a sense of stability and peace. We'll focus on practical strategies to understand and integrate your experiences, fostering resilience. If you're seeking fresh perspectives to move beyond trauma, our sessions can provide a way forward.

Approach

Specialising in novel approaches to trauma, I guide sessions toward gentle integration of memories and current coping. I offer face-to-face work in Thirroul and secure online sessions in English. We settle into a steady pace, tracking triggers, mapping relationship patterns and trying short between-session practices that anchor safety. People managing the effects of abuse, adoption-related loss or burnout often find this grounded, practical rhythm helpful.
