Abstract | Clients with trauma-related presentations seeking counselling are a unique sub-population with specific needs and challenges. The nature of this work can be both challenging and rewarding and have significant potential to affect the individual’s life trajectory in positive ways. Counselling can provide a forum to assist with support, validation, meaning-making and processing of trauma to assist people to live to their potential. Therefore, this chapter will provide an overview of types of trauma and the psychological effects of trauma. It will identify relevant screening and distress assessment tools relevant to trauma, as well as an overview of possible evidence-based interventions. The chapter then discusses considerations for counsellors when working with trauma-affected clients. |
