Psychologist, Registered Clinical Psychologists - Dr Peter Gibbons and Adri Hunt
Adri Hunt specializes in this area and has worked at the Child Sexual Abuse unit at Anglicare and at SARC (as a trainee). Both Peter Gibbons and Adri Hunt have done extensive work in this area and as a team have discussed and worked out best ways to help clients to face the debilitating shame, confusion and developmental interruptions associated with the criminal and harmful actions of someone else or sexual abuse and confusion in partner relationships. The therapeutic process involves the client's own acting out behaviours or difficulties dealing with normal relationship and sexual needs.

Please don't hesitate in contacting me if you are, or have in the past, experienced sexual abuse. This type of abuse is most detrimental to your self esteem and self worth. I can help you to overcome these detriments, and hence help you to understand why you are feeling the way you do. I specialise each clients counselling needs to suit the person's presentation.
Sexual abuse is a traumatic experience and can have profound and long-lasting effects, including physical, emotional, and psychological harm. I provide a supportive and compassionate environment where safety and no judgment is paramount. I help to facilitate healing through a range of modalities that go beyond traditional talk therapy that can access deeper and underlaying trigger responses to the trauma that often don't make sense or seem uncontrollable.
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.
