About Trauma Counsellor Fran Nguyen

Fran Nguyen started her working life as a Registered Nurse, training at University College Hospital in London. She then went on to study at Moorfields Eye Hospital before securing a job at the Royal Northern Hospital. From there she went on to follow her calling as a missionary and moved to Hong Kong, where she worked with the Vietnamese Boat People in Kai Tak Refugee Camp. Later also helping out with St Stephen’s Society working with drug addicts and street sleepers. In conjunction with Jackie Pullinger she set up a rehab house for the Vietnamese and ran that for a while, before migrating to Australia to help the Vietnamese who had settled there. In Melbourne she met her husband and they moved to Tasmania, where they had 3 boys. Then they moved back to Hong Kong to work in the last refugee camp under St Stephen’s Management, alongside the UNHCR.

When the family returned to Australia they all moved up to Queensland. It was there that it came to light that her husband had complex PTSD. 
This led to the break down of the family unit and Fran and her boys moved to a different location. Now all the young men are scattered throughout the world! Fran has two beautiful grandchildren, but one is in Brisbane and the other lives near Liverpool.

Whilst back in the UK Fran searched for something to do to make a difference to others. She discovered TRTP and this has enabled her to help many clients find a richer, fuller life.

At the moment Fran is one of the very few TRTP practitioners in the UK. TRTP is exceptional as it works quickly, efficiently and effectively without re-traumatizing the client. Fran offers a package of 5 sessions, where by the client is introduced to TRTP and is then led through the 3 - step process and then given a follow up appointment a month later.

Ongoing counselling may be negotiated on an individual basis if and when required.

Why TRTP Counselling?

My client sat down heavily in his chair, he had a sceptical look on his face... I could see him thinking"What fat lot of good is this going to be? Another bloody counsellor.." A few days prior, he had carried his trauma for long enough and was on a bridge, about to jump.... having been […]

Demystifying Trauma

Trauma could happen to anyone, anywhere at anytime. It is normal to have feelings, as that is part of being a human. We express our feelings safely in many ways. Yet these feelings can be dramatically altered by either having a traumatic experience or suffering from addictions. Then, feelings can either become too much or […]

  • “I have PTSD and I have tried CBT, EMDR and TRTP and if I had to describe the difference between these three treatment modalities, I would say that CBT targets the conscious mind, EMDR targets both the conscious and subconscious mind somewhat effectively, while TRTP targets only the subconscious mind and does so effectively. Trauma in my experience is like a virus infecting a laptop, if it infects 1 or 2 programs, then all you need to to is uninstall those programs and then reinstall them and that is what CBT and EMDR do, but what happens if the virus infects the entire operating system? What is now your laptop works but glitches often, what do you do? You need to format the laptop and install a new operating system, and that is what TRTP does.”

  • "I am approaching the end of my therapy with Fran and I can honestly say it has been an empowering and truly positive experience from the very beginning. I had a wobble in the middle of therapy as I became a little frightened of the changes that were happening. I had gotten used to the trauma and letting it go almost seemed rather scary. I called Fran and discussed my feelings about this. She was able to provide reassurance and guidance that helped me to attend the next session in a better mindset. This session then turned out to be a real ground breaker for me and I have truly turned a huge corner. I won't lie, I was sceptical about TRTP as I have tried a few different forms of counselling but each time I found they re-traumatised me, having to talk about everything I went through. With TRTP it has been so refreshing to not have to do this and instead the service Fran has provided has given me tools to think differently. This has not only helped me to let go of the trauma but also change the way I handle everyday challenges in a more considered, calm and empowered approach. Aside e from the counselling Fran is just an all round good egg and I cannot thank her enough for her help."

  • "At first I thought I was okay and did okay I had no trauma that needed to be expelled from myself. From working with Fran I found that hidden trauma that was stopping me from achieve what I came of and achieve my full potential. I am now on my way to achieving my full potential and making the full impact in this world as now released from my trauma."
