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
Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns), Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
Due to my background in restorative justice, family violence, sexual abuse and mental health, I have a good understanding of sexual abuse and violence and how they impact the person experiencing them as well as the person using those behaviours. I am able to utilise a psycho-educational approach to help you understand your inner feelings and experiences, and to learn practical strategies for greater sense of safety in the world and coping skills. I can also utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support healing of the underlying trauma of your experiences, without the need to discuss the details of that trauma. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self, leaving often the carried sense of shame and guilt behind.
My aim is to assist you with your difficulties to restore balance, happiness and inner peace (using the various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods) along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.
