Body Sense Psychology
Psychologist, Master of Psychology, Bachelor of Arts (Honours Psychology), Certificate in Sexology
Many of my clients who see me for sex therapy come with some history of sexual abuse, either as a child or as an adult or both. Recovery from sexual abuse can be complex and long term, with many ups and downs in the therapeutic journey. My approach is to be with you as you process, to acknowledge what was, what happened, how it fits within your body and your mind, how you make sense of it and how do you make peace with how it's changed you. There are many and varied emotions and responses that come with sexual abuse. I help my clients to normalise these responses and to come to a healthier and more compassionate understanding of themselves for healing and growth.
I have additional training from the Institute of Somatic Sexology alongside my psychology qualifications and have been practicing as a psychosexual therapist since 2021.
Within my Sex TherapI have a specific focus on treating clients with sexual and intimacy based issues. This includes issues such as erectile issues, anorgasm, vaginismus, performance issues, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, inability to orgasm, libido issues, intimacy and relationship issues, lack of confidence as well as general sexual education. Psychoeducation includes increasing knowledge of physical anatomy, sexual pleasure, biology, consent, and managing romantic and sexual relationships.

Andrew Robertson
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy, Advanced Clinical Skills in Gestalt Psychotherapy
Whether experienced in our formative years as children or as adults, the betrayal and violation of sexual assault can shatter a person's sense of self and of safety in the world. Rebuilding and recovering from this kind of trauma is gentle, slow and powerful work that requires a relationship in which trust can be nurtured and restored.

Sexual abuse is a traumatic experience and can have profound and long-lasting effects, including physical, emotional, and psychological harm.

One in four. That is right. No matter which country around the world we look at, this is roughly the number of people who, by the age of 20, have had some form of unwanted sexual contact that they found emotionally scarring. At this practice, we understand how that can make you feel for years afterwards and we have access to some therapeutic procedures and processes that can help you to reclaim your life after sexual abuse.

Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
I understand how deeply painful and isolating the experience of sexual abuse can be. You're carrying such a heavy burden, and it's completely normal to feel a whirlwind of confusing and overwhelming emotions.
The secrecy surrounding sexual abuse often leaves survivors feeling trapped and alone. You might be struggling with:
Intense feelings of anger and betrayal
Confusion about what happened and why
Undeserved guilt or shame
A sense of isolation from others who don't understand
Fear of not being believed or supported
Please know that what happened was not your fault. Your feelings are valid, and you deserve support and understanding as you navigate this difficult journey.
I want to offer you a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express all of your emotions freely. You don't have to face this alone anymore. Together, we can work through the pain, develop coping strategies, and start the healing process at your own pace.
Reaching out for help takes immense courage, and I'm here to listen and support you every step of the way. When you're ready, please contact me. You deserve to reclaim your power and find peace.

Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, ACA Level 2,
If you have experienced sexual abuse, it is important to know that you are not broken, wrong, tainted, unworthy. Sexual abuse, especially early in life or within families can have far reaching consequences in how we develop, see ourselves and show up in the world. Therapy can help you understand how your experiences have shaped you, and how you can respond with new understandings, a new perception of yourself and new ways of being.
In working with sexual abuse, I use a tri-phasic trauma treatment model. The first phase (20 sessions) is purely around emotional stabilisation, safety, and development of internal and external resources. It is only after that where we might start to do any active work addressing the sexual abuse, and this is done in a very specific way so that the trauma in not relived without being processed and integrated.

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.

Christina Taylor Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Counselling, BA Psychology, BA Hons Literature Grad Diploma Education
As an abuse survivor I can relate to all who I have the privilege to meet and work with ,as we address the trauma involved with sexual abuse.
It can take many years for the abuse to be able to be addressed - or it may have happened recently. I offer a safe space to look at the impact these events have had and to work through them to achieve a greater sexual and emotional connection with current or future partners - or merely to achieve a greater level of inner peace.
