Speak in confidence about your condition with those who ‘get’ how you feel

We Provide Effective, Non-Judgemental PTSD Support Created by Survivors of Trauma

If you are struggling to rebuild your life after trauma, you are not alone.

PTSD can impact every area of your life, from relationships, work, self-esteem, and overall mental health. Even when some people get treatment and initial symptoms under control, they struggle to find meaning, purpose, and direction. If you would like support in recovering from trauma, we can help.

What Sole Survivor can offer (that most services in the trauma and mental health space can’t) is peer-led, consumer-informed, recovery-based group services, individual coaching, training, and consulting for businesses. All led by Founder, Matt, who has lived experience of trauma and recovery.

Matt has helped countless other people on their own recovery journey and continues to support more on a day-to-day basis through PTSD & ADHD Peer Support, Life Coaching, and Training in the community.

Sole Survivor PTSD Support C.I.C. specialises in normalising the debilitating and often terrifying symptoms of PTSD for people from all walks of life that are currently affected by PTSD, Burnout, and Compassion Fatigue.

Our trained and empathic staff help those who are experiencing the effects of trauma by providing non-judgmental, safe spaces across Wirral, Liverpool, Sefton, and Cheshire West where you can speak in confidence about your condition with those who “get” how you feel.

Sole Survivor will help you on your path to Recovery also overall Health and Wellbeing through advice, guidance, workshops, PTSD & ADHD coaching, active listening, signposting to agencies, and online resources that we feel you may find useful as we have used them ourselves.

Break Down The Barriers Of Isolation And Avoidance

Our Peer Support Groups, Coaching, and Active Listening aim to break down the barriers of isolation and avoidance. They are a big part of PTSD and often lead people to think that they are alone with their demons.

We want to challenge the way we all think about, talk about, and respond to PTSD in all areas from home to employment. Raising awareness with our CPD accredited training and ongoing work in the community, to reduce the stigma of the condition across the population.

Our goal is to show the true potential of peer support in healing from trauma, and make this available to as many people as possible.

We believe in mainstream treatment approaches, but there are some things that someone who has not lived through trauma simply can not understand.

Our mission is to offer a safe, professional, and effective peer support service for people who are having trouble accessing mainstream trauma therapy, or have not achieved the recovery they desire through traditional approaches.

We believe that peer support can be used alongside mainstream treatment modalities, and will continue to advocate for it to be included in the ‘gold standard’ of care for all mental health services.

Reduce the number of suicides and premature death as a result of PTSD.
Help people who are lonely, isolated and have chosen the slow death of negative life choices and substance use that there is a way out of PTSD.
Help those who are "sick and tired, of being sick and tired" to manage the past and work on a positive present and future.

I didn’t say anything for the first couple of times I went and that was cool, people were not nosey, they let me talk in my own time

DD Birkenhead

I have been attending Sole Survivor now for over 2 years. I find this group very beneficial as it its easy to open up about my feelings and emotions and talk to others to get an understanding how to deal with PTSD.
