GDS Health – Trauma-Informed Mental Health Care
What is GDS Health?
GDS Health is a trauma-informed therapy service for people who want a safe, calm and grounded space to work through trauma, anxiety, complex emotions or substance use. We focus on the nervous system, the body and the relationship, not quick fixes or pressure.

Why choose GDS Health?
People choose GDS because they want therapy that feels steady, collaborative and honest. You get a therapist who understands how trauma shapes thoughts, feelings and behaviour. You get space to move at your pace. And you get support that is gentle, practical and clinically grounded.

 
What makes GDS Health trauma-informed?
Safety first
Sessions are designed to feel calm, predictable and welcoming. You are met with warmth, curiosity and no judgement. The goal is to help your body settle so real work can happen without overwhelm.

Clear and transparent
You always know what we are doing and why. Nothing is hidden, nothing is forced. Trust is built through consistent communication and collaboration.

Therapy as partnership
You stay in control. We work with your strengths, your rhythms and your goals. Our job is to help you reconnect with your own capacity, not to take over your life.

 
How therapy works here
A trauma-informed approach at GDS means:

Understanding how trauma shapes the nervous system
avoiding anything that risks overwhelm or retraumatisation
supporting autonomy and choice
working at a pace that feels safe
building strong, respectful therapeutic relationships
focusing on long-term, meaningful change
We use an integrative mix of IFS, somatic therapy, relational work and nervous-system regulation to create a steady base for healing.

 
Who we work with
This approach is ideal if you are dealing with:

past or recent trauma
anxiety, panic or emotional overwhelm
complex relationship or attachment patterns
addiction or substance-related struggles
burnout, stress or feeling stuck
a desire to understand yourself more deeply
You do not need to have everything figured out. You only need to show up as you are.
