Therapist
My name is Heather Bradley and I am a Trauma Therapist specialising in Sexual Abuse. I also specialise in working with Adults who have experienced Childhood Sexual Abuse. Having worked in this area for over 10 years and I do understand how living with the effects of sexual abuse can create feelings of loneliness, confusion and despair. Together we journey from where you are now into a life that has clarity, meaning and purpose. I have personally overcome my own Childhood and Adult Sexual Abuse and really do understand how daunting starting this process can be. Please do feel free to reach out for a free chat to see whether we are a good fit for one another in therapy. Or to ask me any questions you may have. For more information visit my website or contact me. I very much look forward to hearing from you. With warm wishes, Heather.

Sexual Abuse
Nick Morecroft Trauma Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP
Sexual abuse in childhood can have castrophic effects on our ability to be intimate and maintain relationships in adult life. It can interrupt and distort behaviour into sabotaging patterns, often without being aware of what is happening. By gently exploring your history and experience of being close with people, we can create a picture of how your reactions to situations play out. From here we can form a strategy to bring healing to the parts of you that were hurt, and help the body understand it can be safe within adult relationships and intimacy.

Sexual Abuse
Jimi Katsis
Counsellor/Therapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Experiencing sexual abuse can be a traumatic and life-altering event, and it can have a significant impact on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals who have been affected by sexual abuse.
I use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), and Dialectical Behaviour therapy (DBT) which have been proven to be effective in treating the effects of sexual abuse.
CBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to their emotional distress. TF-CBT is a specific type of CBT that is designed to help individuals who have experienced traumatic events such as sexual abuse.
In therapy sessions, we will work together to understand the dynamics of the abuse, and develop strategies to help you process and heal from the trauma. I will also help you to set realistic goals and work towards a positive future.
Sexual abuse can be a difficult and overwhelming experience, but it is possible to heal and move forward. I am here to help you through this process, and I encourage you to reach out for help.

Sexual Abuse
Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
I work with clients in a person centred way in order to help them process past sexual abuse. This may involve inner child work. We also look at how this trauma may still be impacting them in the here and now and build empowering coping skills to manage triggers.

Sexual Abuse
Ulrike Nau-Debor
Psychologist, CPsychol, AFBPsS, HCPC registered
Experiencing sexual abuse can be a profoundly traumatic experience that can lead to PTSD, shame, guilt, rage, a disconnect from our bodies, and a loss of a sense of safety in the world and with other people. It can change how we feel about ourselves, making it terrifying to share what happened due to shame and the fear of not being believed or that the experience might not be seen as severe enough to count as trauma. We may feel complicit in what happened or have mixed feelings about it, which can also make it more challenging to talk about. Many of us carry shame about 'letting it happen,' not realizing that the freeze response is the most common reaction.
My commitment to you is to create a safe space where you can heal from the trauma and reclaim your life, sexuality, and vibrancy. I know it can feel impossible to heal, but I have seen that it is possible. It may take time and effort to deal with the trauma, but it is worth it.
