Samuel Maynard Provides a wide range of client centred psychotherapy programmes managing psychological consequences of trauma. It is said that "Traumatic events shake the foundations of our beliefs, and may shatter our trust..."

Knowing how to work with trauma is vital in order to avoid re-traumatisation. The psychological effects of trauma on an individual could be multi-faceted ranging from sleep disorder, depression and anxiety to more complex psychiatric conditions. There are occasions that the victim of trauma tries to cope with the symptoms and either is not aware or reluctant to deal with the painful memories of the event/s.

Assessment of psychological factors involves many possibilities, according to the observed trauma, physical injuries identified, and the nature of the event that caused the injuries. For example, an individual who has been a victim of torture or ethnic cleansing will most probably experience different emotional factors than a victim of an assault; being attacked by an intruder in the home is almost always more psychologically traumatic than the same type of attack outside of the home, because you expect to be safer at home. Additionally, the complete life history of the victim can play a part in the development of psychological symptoms. An adult who was physically abused as a child will probably react more severely to an assault by a co-worker than someone who was never previously assaulted.
