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.

Lisa Sanfilippo
Therapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP
Early in life, if someone or something interferes in our sexual development it can make us feel fearful, confused, ashamed, overly-sexualised or afraid of intimacy. And it is far more common than you'd think. Working with sexual abuse means working gently and delicately at your pace, sometimes not discussing the content of past events, but understanding how the after-effects have distorted our reactions today- and healing from there. 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 Theory.
