Trauma Counsellor
Trauma Counsellors are mental health therapists who counsel and support clients who have experienced different types of trauma. They use trauma-informed psychotherapy and healing modalities to help their clients manage (and ultimately recover from) the devastating impacts of trauma and PTSD.
As a trauma counsellor you could be carrying out a mental health assessment on a new client, listening to a client tell their story, referring a client to a psychiatrist, writing up session notes after a client appointment, meeting with your supervisor to discuss some concerns about client responses to psychotherapy, attending professional development training, or just managing your busy calendar.
To be successful in this role you will need a well-developed sense of empathy, outstanding listening skills, and the ability to hold your clients in unconditional positive regard.
