Trauma Informed Care/Practice is a strengths-based framework which is founded on five core principles:
- Safety
- Trustworthiness
- Choice
- Collaboration
- Empowerment – as well as respect to diversity.
As a trauma informed counsellor I take every precaution to do no harm or to re-traumatise the person with whom I am working.
I see the survivor of trauma as a unique person who has experienced extremely abnormal situations and has managed as best they could.
