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
Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
Sexual abuse is an incredibly painful thing to experience, as your therapist I am here to be with you, reminding you that you are not alone. We can explore what you have experienced without fear of it being "too much". Therapy is a space wherein you can say and do anything, and I am here to be your support throughout this, allowing the pain to have a space to dissipate in. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

Sexual Abuse
Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Experiences of sexual abuse can affect safety, trust, identity, boundaries, relationships, self-worth, and your connection to your own body. The impact can be long-lasting and may manifest in many ways. My approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and non-judgemental. I provide a space where you can move at your own pace, make sense of what you have experienced, and begin to rebuild safety, trust, and a stronger sense of self.

Sexual Abuse
Jonathan Livingstone Therapy & Coaching
Psychologist, MSc, MA, PGCE, GMBPsS
Sexual abuse is one of the most harmful experiences that anyone can endure. The consequences of sexual abuse can often be devastating. This is true even if the abuse might appear trivial to some people who lack understanding. Sexual abuse is always traumatic, and trauma therapy will nearly always heal most or all of consequences of the abuse. I never ask for any details about what has happened, but I will help you to recover and let go of the shame and other bad feelings associated with the abuse, so you can maintain healthy relationships.

Bristol has a strong progressive and creative culture, and its therapy community reflects this — with high demand for therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ identity, non-traditional relationship structures, eco-anxiety, and social-justice-informed approaches to mental health. The city has a significant student population across the University of Bristol and UWE Bristol, and therapists addressing academic pressure and young adult transitions are well represented. Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust provides public mental health services, with a private practice community concentrated in Clifton, Cotham, and Stokes Croft. Bristol's history of race-related civic tensions — including the 2020 removal of the Colston statue — has made racial identity and community healing ongoing themes in the city's therapy culture.
