Psychologist, BA, Grad Dip Psych, MAPS, Certified Master Coach
I work with many women who have experienced the trauma of sexual abuse. Therapies applied could be EMDR to process the associated traumas, CBT for looking forward and planning ahead and living a fuller life.
Sexual abuse, so common in women and many men, is damaging at any time of life, and particularly hard to process as a child, giving rise to many symptoms of impairment. Kate works sensitively with each client, working with them through the long, slow process of healing.

Whether experienced in our formative years as children or as adults, the betrayal and violation of sexual assault can shatter a person's sense of self and of safety in the world. Rebuilding and recovering from this kind of trauma is gentle, slow and powerful work that requires a relationship in which trust can be nurtured and restored.
Someone who has experienced sexual assault/ abuse will experience a range of symptoms and reactions. It is important you talk to someone who is safe and are able to get the support needed to heal.
