What is PTSD therapy?

PTSD therapy is evidence-based psychological treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. Common approaches include EMDR, trauma-focused CBT and schema therapy. At Unburden Psychology, our PTSD therapists tailor treatment to each individual.

What is the difference between trauma therapy and trauma counselling?

Trauma therapy typically refers to structured psychological treatment delivered by a registered psychologist. Trauma counselling is a broader term that may include support from counsellors or psychotherapists. At Unburden Psychology, our trauma therapists are AHPRA-registered psychologists.

Does Medicare cover PTSD therapy in Brisbane?

Yes. With a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates on sessions with our PTSD therapists. DVA clients are also accepted.

How long does trauma therapy take?

The duration of trauma therapy varies depending on the nature and severity of the trauma. Many clients see meaningful progress within 8–20 sessions, though complex PTSD may require longer treatment.

Do you offer trauma therapy for first responders and ADF veterans?

Yes. Unburden Psychology has a clinical psychologist with an ADF background and extensive experience supporting veterans, QPS officers and other first responders with PTSD and operational trauma.
