Trauma Focused CBT (TF-CBT)
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach designed to support children, adolescents, and adults in recovering from the emotional impact of trauma.
TF-CBT combines elements of cognitive behavioural therapy with trauma-sensitive techniques to help individuals process traumatic experiences, manage distressing emotions, and reduce symptoms such as anxiety, avoidance, and intrusive thoughts.
This approach is particularly effective for those who have experienced:
• Childhood abuse or neglect
• Domestic or family violence
• Grief or loss
• Accidents, medical trauma, or natural disasters
• Sexual assault or other traumatic experiences
TF-CBT helps:
• Understand how trauma affects thoughts, feelings, and behaviours
• Develop healthy coping skills and emotional regulation strategies
• Gradually process traumatic memories in a safe, structured way
• Rebuild a sense of safety, trust, and personal strength
At Evolving Minds Counselling, our clinicians are trained in TF-CBT and work collaboratively with clients and when appropriate, families or caregivers to support healing in a respectful and empowering environment.
If you or your child is struggling with the effects of trauma, TF-CBT offers a clear and compassionate path to recovery.
