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.

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.

Sexual abuse in all forms leads to shame and guilt, as well as a negative association with sexuality. Sexual blockages, as well as the shame/guilt associated with it needs to be healed in order to once again live a normal, balanced life.
