Making Lives Better

In Detail

PTSD Therapy for Children

At Camali Clinic, our trained therapists provide specialist trauma-focused treatment in a safe, structured environment, helping young people process their experiences and reclaim their lives.

A session at Camali Clinic
01

Symptoms may include

  • Recurrent, intrusive memories or images of the traumatic event; nightmares; flashbacks (feeling as though the event is happening again)
  • Avoiding thoughts, feelings, people, places, or activities that are reminders of the trauma
  • Persistent negative emotions (fear, horror, guilt, shame), feeling detached from others, loss of interest in activities, difficulty feeling positive emotions
  • Being easily startled, hypervigilance (constantly on guard), sleep disturbances, irritability or angry outbursts, difficulty concentrating
  • Repetitive trauma-themed play; physical complaints (stomach aches, headaches); regression to younger behaviours; school refusal
02

Treatment Approaches

  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) – the gold-standard evidence-based treatment for childhood PTSD, involving both the child and parent in structured trauma processing sessions
  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) – an evidence-based trauma therapy offered for adolescents where clinically appropriate
  • Psychoeducation for child and parents – helping both understand trauma responses and what to expect in recovery
  • Safety planning and stabilisation – building coping skills before commencing trauma processing where needed
Who needs it?

Step-by-Step Support

How we provide the service

Learn how our structured, personalized process guides each individual through assessment, planning, and tailored support to achieve meaningful results.

01

Trauma-Informed Assessment

A sensitive, trauma-informed assessment to understand the traumatic event, current symptoms, and their impact on the child's life. Safeguarding considerations are always reviewed.

02

Stabilisation and Coping Skills

Before trauma processing begins, the child is equipped with grounding and coping techniques to manage distressing symptoms safely.

03

Trauma Processing and Recovery

TF-CBT or EMDR sessions guide the child through processing the traumatic memory in a safe and structured way, reducing distress and integrating the experience.

Specific FAQs

Questions about this service

Trauma therapy is paced carefully and the child is never pushed to share more than they are ready for. Stabilisation comes first, and the pace of processing is always led by the child's readiness.
