Sexual Abuse
Body Sense Psychology
Psychologist, Master of Psychology, Bachelor of Arts (Honours Psychology), Certificate in Sexology
Many of my clients who see me for sex therapy come with some history of sexual abuse, either as a child or as an adult or both. Recovery from sexual abuse can be complex and long term, with many ups and downs in the therapeutic journey. My approach is to be with you as you process, to acknowledge what was, what happened, how it fits within your body and your mind, how you make sense of it and how do you make peace with how it's changed you. There are many and varied emotions and responses that come with sexual abuse. I help my clients to normalise these responses and to come to a healthier and more compassionate understanding of themselves for healing and growth.
I have additional training from the Institute of Somatic Sexology alongside my psychology qualifications and have been practicing as a psychosexual therapist since 2021.
Within my Sex TherapI have a specific focus on treating clients with sexual and intimacy based issues. This includes issues such as erectile issues, anorgasm, vaginismus, performance issues, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, inability to orgasm, libido issues, intimacy and relationship issues, lack of confidence as well as general sexual education. Psychoeducation includes increasing knowledge of physical anatomy, sexual pleasure, biology, consent, and managing romantic and sexual relationships.

Sexual Abuse
Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
Experiences of sexual abuse can leave deep imprints in the body and nervous system, often long after the event is over. Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) offer a gentle, trauma-informed way to work with the effects of sexual trauma without having to retell or relive the story. SE helps rebuild a sense of safety in the body by slowly releasing stored survival responses such as freeze, shutdown, or hypervigilance. ISP complements this by supporting the safe processing of emotions like fear, shame, or confusion, helping you stay connected to yourself without becoming overwhelmed. Together, these approaches help restore boundaries, self-trust, and a sense of agency, allowing healing to unfold at a pace that honors your system

Sexual Abuse
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.
