Psychological counselling after traumatic events

First psychological help and psychological counselling after traumatic events

Traumatic events such as robberies, hold-ups, physical attacks, traffic accidents in cases of which individual's health or life is threatened may substantially affect or  even disturb one's inner balance and influence his live in a drastically negative manner. Psychological counselling is there to assist individuals in order to face distress as a consequence of the traumatic events pointed out. Without the appropriate professional help it may occur that an individual will not be able to process the negative experience himself, which will consequently lead to a negative effect on his whole life afterwards.

First psychological help and psychological counselling is tailored to meet the needs of people who have – in professional or private sphere – experienced traumatic experience in form of violence or accident and who had their safety or life threatened.

Received counselling helps not only the individuals involved in a traumatic event but also the people surrounding them to face the past events of crisis and distress caused by them more easily.
