Therapy offered by:
Ollie Frost
Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapist
PTSD & Complex Trauma Therapy
PTSD and complex trauma therapy for adults to safely process trauma, reduce hypervigilance and reconnect with a greater sense of safety, flexibility and emotional regulation.
Who Its For
Adults living with PTSD or complex trauma; those experiencing hypervigilance, emotional dysregulation, prolonged stress, anxiety, shutdown or the lasting effects of traumatic experiences. You may understand what happened intellectually, yet still feel as though your body is reacting to a threat that has already passed.
What To Expect
Trauma doesn’t only exist in the story of what happened. With PTSD and Complex PTSD (CPTSD), its effects can continue to show up through the body and nervous system as hypervigilance, emotional dysregulation, shutdown, anxiety, tension or feeling constantly on alert.
As an Integrative Counsellor and Trauma Informed Somatic Therapist, Ollie recognises that one therapeutic modality doesn’t fit everyone. Trauma processing is therefore tailored to you, combining trauma informed talking therapy, somatic approaches and nervous system regulation to work with both the psychological and physical impact of traumatic experiences.
Sessions may draw on mindfulness, breath, body awareness and emotional processing, helping you safely explore what your system is holding without forcing you to repeatedly relive your trauma. The work progresses at a pace your nervous system can manage, building greater safety, emotional regulation and resilience so the past has less influence over how you experience the present.
As an Integrative Counsellor and Trauma Informed Somatic Therapist, Ollie doesn’t believe one therapeutic approach fits everyone. Sessions draw from different forms of counselling alongside somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, breath and body awareness, adapting the work to you and what you need.
Ollie understands the world of pressure and performance first hand. After a decade in professional rugby, his own experience of physical and mental exhaustion led him to explore the connection between the mind, body, emotions and nervous system.
This means therapy can go beyond talking and analysing. You might explore the beliefs and experiences shaping how you feel, while also working with the physical responses underneath anger, anxiety, emotional shutdown, stress or feeling constantly on edge.
Practical, collaborative and grounded, Ollie helps you develop greater self awareness, emotional regulation and resilience, so change becomes something you can feel and use in everyday life, not simply something you understand intellectually.

When I first met Ollie, I'd been signed off work with ME/CFS and chronic fatigue. Even the smallest daily tasks felt exhausting, and I'd lost confidence that I'd ever get back to living a normal life. From our first session, it was clear that Ollie understood the complexity of chronic illness. Rather than pushing me to do more, he helped me learn how to work with my nervous system instead of constantly fighting against it. The sessions gave me a completely new understanding of why my body was responding the way it was. Over time, I noticed real changes. My energy became more stable, I felt calmer, my crashes became less frequent, and I finally started to trust my body again. Recovery wasn't about quick fixes—it was about creating the right conditions for healing, one step at a time. Ollie combines deep knowledge with genuine empathy and practical guidance. If you're struggling with chronic fatigue, burnout, or a dysregulated nervous system, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend working with him. It's been one of the best decisions I've made for my health.
