Counselling in Leicester - Trauma, Anxiety, Abuse & PTSD

I’m Faidra, a Level 7 qualified counsellor and psychotherapist offering trauma-informed counselling in Leicester for adults aged 16+. I support people experiencing trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, grief and the effects of abuse.

I have a particular interest in supporting people affected by childhood trauma, domestic abuse, emotional abuse, coercive control and complex PTSD.

Difficult experiences can continue to affect how we feel, think, relate to others and see ourselves, sometimes long after the events themselves have passed. Counselling can provide a safe, confidential space to explore these experiences, understand patterns and work towards meaningful change.

How I Can Help

 

Childhood trauma and abuse can affect how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how safe you feel in the world.


In counselling, I offer a calm and confidential space where we can work together to: 


  • Understand the impact of childhood trauma 
  • Process experiences of domestic or emotional abuse 
  • Reduce anxiety and emotional overwhelm 
  • Build healthier boundaries in relationships 
  • Improve self-esteem and self-worth 
  • Develop emotional regulation skills

Domestic Abuse & Emotional Abuse Support

 

I also work with clients in Leicester who have experienced domestic abuse, coercive control or emotionally abusive relationships. These experiences can leave lasting effects such as confusion, self-doubt, fear, and difficulty trusting others. Therapy can help you make sense of what has happened and begin rebuilding your sense of safety and identity. 

Complex PTSD and Trauma-Related Symptoms


Complex PTSD is associated with a range of emotional and psychological symptoms that can develop following prolonged or repeated trauma, such as childhood trauma or domestic abuse.

These may include:

  • Feeling constantly on edge or anxious 
  • Emotional numbness or feeling disconnected 
  • Flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, or distressing memories 
  • Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in relationships 
  • Challenges with emotional regulation and attachment 


These responses are widely understood as common trauma-related adaptations to overwhelming or unsafe experiences. 


Counselling can help you make sense of these reactions, reduce their intensity over time, and develop a greater sense of stability and emotional safety. 

Counselling Approach

 

I offer trauma-informed counselling, which means the focus is always on safety, trust and working at a pace that feels manageable for you.


You are not expected to talk about anything before you feel ready. The work is guided by your needs and what feels helpful for your recovery.
 

About your counsellor

I’m Faidra, a Level 7 qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with a Master’s degree from an accredited course. My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, with a focus on creating a safe, respectful space where you can explore difficult experiences at your own pace.

I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief and the effects of difficult life experiences.
