Georgie Gee
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy
In my work with young people who have suffered abuse I establish a safe confidential space that allows them to feel supported and validated. I also offer trauma informed care that looks at the symptoms of trauma and how that impact the memory and the nervous system. I think what has happened will have a profound way in all our interactions.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults who have experienced sexual abuse and its ongoing psychological impact. Sexual abuse can affect how people relate to their bodies, emotions, relationships, and sense of agency, often in ways that are complex and difficult to articulate.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore these experiences without imposing pace or expectation. Sessions focus on understanding how the effects of abuse are held internally, including protective responses that may have developed over time. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most manageable and useful.

Dr Paul Garden
Psychologist, Doctorate in Psychology, DPsych, MSc with Distinction, BSc First Class Honours.
The trauma around having been sexually abused is often very subtle and insidious, felt in the background almost as if it belongs elsewhere. Its impact on your life can be far reaching. I have a particular interest in supporting people to come to terms with this impact, and to rebuild and move on with their lives.

Lisa Sanfilippo
Therapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP
We can restore healthy relationships and intimacy- even if we have experienced abuse in the past. Feeling fearful, confused, ashamed, overly-sexualised or afraid of intimacy are important ways our nervous system may be dealing with something really difficult to process. And these protective patterns can shift. Sexual abuse or assault are, sadly, far more common than you'd think. Working with sexual abuse means working gently and delicately at your pace, often not even needing to re-hash the content of past events, but understanding how the after-effects have created your protective responses. We start with restoring a feeling of safety and integrity so that you can move at your own pace. I take a gentle, measured approach, helping you to heal somatically, mentally, emotionally and even spiritually. My approach is informed by somatic experiencing and Polyvagal approaches, which work with our bodies and nervous systems.

Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
Sexual Abuse is widespread and deeply disturbing in complex and painful ways. Therapy is the space to make sense of the complex, paradoxical and painful angry feeling around it.

Ulrike Nau-Debor
Psychologist, CPsychol, AFBPsS, HCPC registered
Experiencing sexual abuse can be a profoundly traumatic experience that can lead to PTSD, shame, guilt, rage, a disconnect from our bodies, and a loss of a sense of safety in the world and with other people. It can change how we feel about ourselves, making it terrifying to share what happened due to shame and the fear of not being believed or that the experience might not be seen as severe enough to count as trauma. We may feel complicit in what happened or have mixed feelings about it, which can also make it more challenging to talk about. Many of us carry shame about 'letting it happen,' not realizing that the freeze response is the most common reaction.
My commitment to you is to create a safe space where you can heal from the trauma and reclaim your life, sexuality, and vibrancy. I know it can feel impossible to heal, but I have seen that it is possible. It may take time and effort to deal with the trauma, but it is worth it.
