About Me
At Potch Trauma Recovery, I believe that healing from trauma doesn’t have to take years , it just needs the right process and a safe, compassionate space. Based in Potchefstroom and serving clients across South Africa through in-person and virtual sessions, my mission is : to help individuals release the emotional charge of traumatic experiences and truly thrive instead of just surviving.
Founded and led by Haroldine Hill, a qualified trauma recovery practitioner, Potch Trauma Recovery specializes in helping people aged 5 and up work through distressing experiences using Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) , a focused, client-centered approach to resolving trauma. This isn’t weekly therapy. Most of our adult clients experience deep emotional relief in just one or two breakthrough sessions, while children typically benefit from a minimum of three shorter sessions to build trust and safety.
"Don't just Survive, Thrive."
At Potch Trauma Recovery, I help individuals break free from the emotional grip of traumatic experiences even if it has been years (e.g Childhood Trauma ) . My specialized method focuses on identifying the emotional charge that surfaces when recalling a traumatic incident and gently guiding you to release it. This isn’t traditional talk therapy. Our sessions are short-term and results-focused, often leading to emotional relief in just one or two sessions. Whether you're dealing with trauma from abuse, accidents, grief, illness, or high-stress professions , healing starts here.
I use a powerful approach known as Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) , a structured yet compassionate process designed to reduce the emotional charge to trauma. Unlike weekly therapy models, these are breakthrough sessions, offering relief in a fraction of the time. Most clients find transformation within two sessions. For children, a minimum of three shorter sessions is recommended to build safety and trust. I create space for deep, focused healing , without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
My services are open to anyone aged five and up, no matter your background or profession. From military personnel and first responders to healthcare workers, teachers, and trauma survivors , I welcome all who seek recovery. Not based in Potchefstroom? I offer Zoom sessions, so you can access trauma support wherever you are. The setting may change, but our promise stays the same: a calm, respectful space to begin your healing journey.
Unresolved trauma often hides in plain sight , showing up as anxiety, fatigue, avoidance, irritability, or constant overwhelm. At Potch Trauma Recovery, I move beyond just coping strategies. I aim for transformation. Recovery is about understanding how trauma affects your body and emotions. It’s not about pushing through , it’s about releasing the emotional charge connected to trauma.
My goal is simple: to help you move beyond just surviving and start truly thriving. I am not a psychologist or a therapist, nor do I diagnose mental illness or prescribe medication. Instead, I work within my scope to help you rebuild trust in yourself and others, regain emotional control, and reconnect with a sense of peace. My approach focuses on strengthening your resilience so that future incidents are less likely to leave a lasting emotional impact. And if I ever feel that you need a different kind of support, I’ll guide you to the right place. What I offer is compassionate, life-changing relief and a clear path forward.
What My Clients Say
I never thought a single session could make such a difference, but Potch Trauma Recovery helped me release years of buried pain. I felt seen, supported, and never rushed. The emotional weight I carried for over a decade finally lifted. This is not therapy as you know it — it’s healing at its most focused and powerful. I’m forever grateful.
I live outside of Potchefstroom and wasn’t sure if a virtual session could work. I was wrong. The session via Zoom was handled with so much care and professionalism. The emotional charge I felt around my trauma is now gone, and I feel lighter and more at peace. This process is fast, respectful, and life-changing.
My 9-year-old daughter was struggling after a traumatic incident, and I didn’t know where to turn. From the first session, I could see a difference in her confidence and emotional state. The environment was gentle, patient, and perfectly suited for children. I finally feel hopeful again and so does she.
