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.

Andrew Robertson
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy, Advanced Clinical Skills in Gestalt Psychotherapy
Whether experienced in our formative years as children or as adults, the betrayal and violation of sexual assault can shatter a person's sense of self and of safety in the world. Rebuilding and recovering from this kind of trauma is gentle, slow and powerful work that requires a relationship in which trust can be nurtured and restored.

Sexual abuse in all forms leads to shame and guilt, as well as a negative association with sexuality. Sexual blockages, as well as the shame/guilt associated with it needs to be healed in order to once again live a normal, balanced life.
