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 not even needing to re-hash the content of past events, but understanding how the after-effects have created your 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
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
Dr. Birte Nachtwey
Registered Psychotherapist, MD, CORST
If you have or are experiencing sexual abuse, it is very important to get help. You need to get out of this situation and/ or heal from the damage done. People that were sexually abused may be traumatized and suffer from dissociation (part of you goes away), flashbacks (images and/or physical and emotional reactions are triggered involuntarily) and other symptoms that can make your life difficult and hinder you to experience positive sexual encounters. This affects you and your relationships and can be helped. Don’t hesitate, especially if this is ongoing. Get help quickly and start your better life.
If you are a person who abuses a child or any other person, part of you may justify this with different excuses and even claim it wasn’t abuse. If there is a part, maybe the best in you, that knows what you are doing is not ok, then get help as soon as possible. Change is possible, also for you.
