Based in Northern Ireland, we are a trauma-informed team of individuals who are dedicated to helping you heal from your trauma in a safe and confidential way. We are modelled after similar evidence based programmes in the United States.
Recentre is founded by an American, who herself had been through a trauma support programme and residential. Now living in Northern Ireland, Holly is hoping to impart the same support she had access to and help others to thrive after trauma.
Trauma can affect you in many different ways, each a valid reaction to abnormal circumstances. These reactions can be physical, mental, or both. Please download our brochure for further details on how our programme supports trauma healing.
Trauma Recovery Coach
Holly Perreault is an adult survivor of childhood abuse. Her message is that breaking the silence is the key to breaking intergenerational cycles of abuse and trauma.
Holly shares several personal examples of her trauma including how she was able to speak up, choose forgiveness and finally, heal the wounds through a variety of recovery opportunities.
It is with Holly’s vision, through kindness, compassion, and selflessness, that Recentre exists.

Your healing will be supported by qualified coaches, therapists and holistic practitioners.
Our therapists are experienced in helping people work through the impact of trauma from a range of sources: sexual abuse/assault, domestic violence, physical injury, disruptive family systems, loss of children, the conflict in Northern Ireland and more. They do this using talking and behavioural therapies and techniques that involve the body and nervous system too.
Our coaches, who are trauma-informed, will help you to own your strengths and build resilience. Our holistic practitioners will help you to feel grounded and stable; they will give you tools to regain body and mind connection and bring you to a space that you feel safe enough to heal from.
We also have a team of business experts working across operations, communications and corporate services to ensure your safety and that you have a high-quality healing experience.
Our advisory board sits at the heart of everything we do at Recentre to ensure the utmost safety and support for everyone involved.
