Website:
Vida Sheffield is a free specialist trauma-focused and gender sensitive therapy service for women, aged 16yrs and above, whose mental health is affected by previous experiences of domestic abuse and trauma. We've developed a pathway of interventions through our service which includes several group work programmes and a choice of 1:1 trauma focused Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy and EMDR or integrative counselling. We take a phase based approach to working therapeutically with clients – the first phase is about helping clients to manage the distress they experience by learning about different coping strategies, gaining tools for emotional regulation and importantly learning about the impacts of abuse and trauma and the brain science of trauma responses. The second phase is working at a deeper level and emotionally processing trauma memories and their impacts. The final phase is helping clients to reclaim their lives and move forward towards the life they want to live, free from abuse, fear and anxiety.
