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
Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
If you have experienced sexual abuse, it is important to know that you are not broken, wrong, tainted, unworthy. Sexual abuse, especially early in life or within families can have far reaching consequences in how we develop, see ourselves and show up in the world. Therapy can help you understand how your experiences have shaped you, and how you can respond with new understandings, a new perception of yourself and new ways of being.
In working with sexual abuse, I use a tri-phasic trauma treatment model. The first phase (20 sessions) is purely around emotional stabilisation, safety, and development of internal and external resources. It is only after that where we might start to do any active work addressing the sexual abuse, and this is done in a very specific way so that the trauma in not relived without being processed and integrated.

Townsville is the largest city in tropical North Queensland — a military, agricultural, and mining hub built around Lavarack Barracks (home to the Army's 3rd Brigade), James Cook University, and a regional healthcare system serving a vast geographic area. The city's significant Australian Army presence creates therapy demand from military families navigating deployment stress and the emotional challenges of service life, while the broader civilian population navigates the economic cycles of mining and agriculture. Townsville University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while James Cook University's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local and regional community. Townsville's tropical climate and geographic isolation — it is the largest city between Brisbane and Darwin — mean therapists serve clients from a very wide catchment, and telehealth plays an important role in extending care across North Queensland.
