Sexual Abuse
Jimi Katsis
Registered Psychotherapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Sexual abuse breaks something fundamental—your sense of safety in your own body, your ability to trust, your right to say no. The impact doesn't end when the abuse ends. It shows up in relationships, in how you feel about yourself, in anxiety or depression or dissociation that doesn't make sense until you connect it back.
Many survivors spend years not naming it as abuse, minimizing what happened, or believing they should be "over it" by now. There's no timeline for this. Your nervous system is still protecting you from something that felt life-threatening, even if rationally you know you're safe now.
We work carefully and at your pace. This isn't about forcing you to relive everything in graphic detail—that re-traumatizes, it doesn't heal. Instead, we work to help your nervous system understand that the threat is over, while processing what happened in a way that doesn't overwhelm you.
You're not broken. Your responses make complete sense given what you survived. Healing is possible, but it takes time, safety, and someone who understands trauma from the inside. If you're ready to explore this work, reach out. We'll start with a free consultation to see if I'm the right fit.

Sexual Abuse
Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
An integrative and trauma-informed approach is one of the most effective ways to support survivors with your healing process. This approach combines the empathic and person-centred principles of humanistic therapy with the sensitivity to trauma's impact on a survivor's mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. Counselling survivors of sexual abuse requires a compassionate, empathic and trauma-informed approach that prioritises your safety, autonomy and empowerment. By integrating humanistic principles with trauma-informed care, I provide a holistic and supportive environment that fosters healing and resilience. This approach not only addresses the immediate impact of sexual trauma but also empowers survivors to reclaim your sense of self and move forward with strength and hope.

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.

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.
