The Bay’s approach to treating trauma and PTSD is based on a thorough inventory of current and childhood traumas or significant challenges. Our admission team regularly receives enquiries from family members wanting support for a loved one who has been in therapy or residential treatment without any real success.
Our team of practitioners will develop a program that incorporates a balance of therapeutic approaches such as EMDR, Somatic Experience and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, as well as mindful activities to bring you back to nature. Activities may include bush and beach walking, art, surfing, golf and a wide range creative pursuits on request. The treatment of PTSD and trauma must be slow, flexible and balance deeper work in therapy with the natural environment. This balance considers the client’s needs throughout the entire process and has truly remarkable results.
Simply put, trauma is not easily treated and usually requires a very personalised approach to treatment. It is also important to understand that trauma does not have to be a single event. Trauma can develop over many years in a difficult childhood or relationship with one’s father or mother.
The team at The Bay will enquire about significant or challenging periods in your life, which will guide the development of your personalised treatment package and therapy.
Based on current research the team is aware that healing trauma takes more than just talking therapy alone and will require your engagement in creative and nature activities-based activities, in conjunction with therapy that is guided by your therapist.

Testimonials
I have attended other programs and felt overlooked due to the needs of the more complex clients that were in the program. At The Bay I was the focus of the team and gained a greater understanding of my situation… to make the changes required to live the life I wanted.
Having a psychology background I was very particular about what I was looking for, I didn’t want group therapy because I was at a point where I knew I needed individual therapy… it has been five months since I left The Bay, it has changed my life.
I have been in treatment before but couldn’t seem to achieve the changes I wanted. The compassion shown to me by the incredible team at The Bay has taught me to set boundaries with others, allowed me to re-align my expectations of myself and others and live the life I have been craving.
The compassion shown to me by the incredible team at the bay has taught me to set boundaries with others, allowed me to re-align my expectations of myself and others and finally live the life I have been craving for many years.
My wife found The Bay after doing a lot of research looking at programs all over the world. Treatment centres here in the US are very different! My life has changed in so many ways and I continue to stay clean and sober, thank you for all you have done.
