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
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.

Having experienced and overcome the trauma and side effects of sexual abuse, and having studied accordingly, I can hold space for and help women and men with issues of sexual abuse, whether or not you remember things clearly. As with emotional abuse, there are many subtle ways that this can occur in all sorts of relationships. You can be sure that we will address your issues with absolute confidentiality, without judgement, and find a way out of shame and pain. It will need trust and patience.

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.
