Sexual Abuse
Dr. Birte Nachtwey
Registered Psychotherapist, MD, CORST
If you have or are experiencing sexual abuse, it is very important to get help. You need to get out of this situation and/ or heal from the damage done. People that were sexually abused may be traumatized and suffer from dissociation (part of you goes away), flashbacks (images and/or physical and emotional reactions are triggered involuntarily) and other symptoms that can make your life difficult and hinder you to experience positive sexual encounters. This affects you and your relationships and can be helped. Don’t hesitate, especially if this is ongoing. Get help quickly and start your better life.
If you are a person who abuses a child or any other person, part of you may justify this with different excuses and even claim it wasn’t abuse. If there is a part, maybe the best in you, that knows what you are doing is not ok, then get help as soon as possible. Change is possible, also for you.

Sexual Abuse
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.

Sexual abuse cannot be tolerated and would have to be reported.

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
Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
I work with clients in a person centred way in order to help them process past sexual abuse. This may involve inner child work. We also look at how this trauma may still be impacting them in the here and now and build empowering coping skills to manage triggers.
