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.

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
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.

Sexual Abuse
Louise Perry
Therapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
Experiencing sexual trauma can leave deep, lasting wounds that impact your sense of safety, trust, and self-worth. It’s not uncommon to feel isolated, confused, or overwhelmed by the complexity of your emotions. As an Art and IFS (Internal Family Systems) Psychotherapist, I’m here to help you navigate this challenging terrain with compassion, patience, and sensitivity.
Our work together will respect the pace that feels safe for you. By incorporating creative expression, we can gently externalize and explore the overwhelming feelings that may be difficult to put into words. Through IFS, we’ll identify and understand the protective parts of you that have emerged in response to trauma, offering them reassurance and relief, while also tending to the hurt, vulnerable parts that need comfort, acknowledgment, and healing.
My goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can gradually release the burden of shame, reclaim your sense of agency, and move toward a more empowered, integrated, and self-compassionate life. You deserve to heal and find a path forward—and I’m committed to walking alongside you every step of the way.
