Post-Traumatic Stress
Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) can develop after experiencing, witnessing, or learning about a traumatic event involving actual or threatened death or serious injury. People may struggle with distressing memories, avoid reminders of the event, and can experience intense anxiety, sadness, or anger that significantly impacts their life.
Fortunately, PTS is highly treatable, and many people who seek help improve significantly. Our PTS treatment program uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), providing practical skills to manage symptoms, break negative cycles, and help you feel better.

Who will find this program helpful?
People who have experienced a traumatic event and are significantly troubled and distressed by their memories of the event.
Will this program help me with childhood trauma?
This program was written for people who have experienced or are experiencing post-traumatic stress in response to a traumatic event in adulthood, rather than a series of traumas experienced earlier on in their development (complex trauma or cPTSD). For people looking for help with childhood or complex trauma, we suggest you seek individual therapy from a mental health clinician who is experienced in this area. You can see your GP for a referral.
Why is clinician support required for this program?
We recognise that addressing trauma can be very distressing. Having a clinician supervise your progress will provide you with an added layer of support, particularly as some treatment components may be triggering.
How much does the program cost?
This program is free to enrol in under the guidance of your clinician. It is only available for enrolment under clinician guidance.
What other help is available for my symptoms?
