Sexual Abuse

Shareen Birges

Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have extensive experience working with people who have suffered sexual abusr/assault, & specialise in childhood sexual abuse. My person centered, strengths based & trauma informed practice helps me to create a safe & comfortable therapeutic environment & build a trusting relationship with individuals. This creates a healing environment & supports people to find a way to live with their trauma experiences. I often explain this work through the analogy of wound healing. Before one begins to work on past trauma, the memories are like an open wound. They are painful & have not healed. Through the process of counselling (I've found talking & narrative therapy to be very helpful for clients around these issues) the wound heals & becomes a scar. Whilst you can never remove it, the scar no longer hurts & is just a memory of the incident(s), a memory that no longer has the capacity to hurt.

London, England therapist: Lisa Sanfilippo, therapist
Sexual Abuse

Lisa Sanfilippo

Therapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP
We can restore healthy relationships and intimacy- even if we have experienced abuse in the past. Feeling fearful, confused, ashamed, overly-sexualised or afraid of intimacy are important ways our nervous system may be dealing with something really difficult to process. And these protective patterns can shift. Sexual abuse or assault are, sadly, far more common than you'd think. Working with sexual abuse means working gently and delicately at your pace, often even needing to re-hash the content of past events, but understanding how the after-effects have created our protective responses. We start with restoring a feeling of safety and integrity so that you can move at your own pace. I take a gentle, measured approach, helping you to heal somatically, mentally, emotionally and even spiritually. My approach is informed by principles of somatic experiencing and Polyvagal approaches, which work with our bodies and nervous systems.

Sexual Abuse

Dr Ian Anderson

Psychologist, Consultant Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered), PhD, MSc, MSc, MSc, MA (Econ), BA (Econ) Hons
Sexual abuse is a specific form of trauma. It often threatens not only our ability to maintain control over our lives, but our sense of self. The result of this is that the trauma radiates into every aspect of our lives. The goal of therapy is to understand the damage and to regain control. Reflexively, regaining control over our lives is a way of rebuilding our sense of self.

Newark, Scotland therapist: Emily Harrison, registered psychotherapist
Sexual Abuse

Emily Harrison

Registered Psychotherapist, BSc(hons) Counselling and Psychotherapy, Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Facilitator, MBACP (accredited)
People who have experienced sexual abuse, and abuse of other kinds, have often found ways to survive their experiences. However, survival often means sacrifices lots of other things, like your relationships with other people, your sense of self, or perhaps your connection with your own body. I have experience of working with people who have dissociative experiences of various kinds. I am also trained to offer body-based work where appropriate, which is a yoga-inspired, trauma-sensitive way of healing from trauma.
