To create a future where trauma is no longer a life sentence, but a story of resilience.

About

Soteria Trauma & Recovery CIC is a not-for-profit, trauma-informed organisation based in the South West of England.

We provide counselling, therapeutic groups, and recovery-focused services for individuals affected by domestic abuse, trauma, and adversity.

Our name, Soteria, means safety, deliverance, and healing — and that meaning sits at the heart of everything we do.

We’re dedicated to offering spaces where people can feel safe, supported, and empowered to recover at their own pace.

Our approach is calm, grounded, and person-centred.

We employ evidence-based, trauma-informed practices to help survivors rebuild trust, achieve stability, and reconnect with their inner strength.

Every session is guided by respect, empathy, and empowerment — meeting each person exactly where they are in their journey.

We focus not only on recovery from trauma, but on rediscovering resilience, confidence, and hope for the future.

“To create a future where trauma is no longer a life sentence, but a story of resilience.”

This vision guides every aspect of our work — from counselling and group programmes to advocacy and community partnerships.

We believe that every person has the capacity to heal, and that recovery should be accessible, compassionate, and free from judgment.
