Complex Trauma: Begin Your Healing With A Trauma-Informed Psychologist In Melbourne
Our experienced psychologists can offer a safe space to heal, grow and improve your mental well-being.
Effective and Trusted Psychologists in Melbourne working with Complex Trauma
Our team of Melbourne psychologists at Solace Psychology, are here to support you as you navigate your experience of complex trauma. Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can develop following traumatic experiences like natural disasters, sexual assault or a car accident.
Complex trauma occurs from prolonged exposure to or continuous traumatic events. These events often happen during a person’s formative years in situations like domestic abuse, emotional abuse and family violence. If left untreated, complex PTSD can cause continuous symptoms of distress.
Processing and recovering from complex trauma can feel daunting. At Solace Psychology, we create a safe and supportive environment for you with our experienced trauma-informed team.
Understanding Complex Trauma and Its Effects

Our team are informed and experienced in working with clients with various forms of trauma and PTSD. Complex trauma differs from single-event trauma as it is caused by continuous or repeated exposure to a traumatic event, relationship or environment.
People can feel trauma and its effects differently, but there are some common symptoms.
What are the symptoms of trauma?


Difficulty maintaining relationships.

Avoidant behaviours towards any reminders of your trauma.

Struggling to regulate your emotions.

Intrusive thoughts and low self-esteem.

Physical symptoms such as chronic fatigue and pain.
These symptoms can significantly impact a person’s daily life, physical and mental health, and relationships.
Trauma can also mean someone is more vulnerable to other mental health conditions stemming from their experience. Mental health issues like depression, anxiety and substance abuse can often manifest following trauma.
