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.

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.

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
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.
