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

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.

Hobart is Tasmania's compact capital and the smallest of Australia's state capital cities, with a mental health landscape shaped by the challenges of geographic isolation, an ageing population, and a slower-paced economy relative to mainland Australia. The city has a vibrant creative and arts community, and arts-based therapeutic approaches have found a particularly receptive audience here, while the surrounding regions of rural Tasmania face more significant access challenges for which telehealth has become essential. Mental health services in Hobart are available through Tasmania's public system and a private sector that, while growing, is smaller than in larger Australian cities; wait times for publicly funded care can be considerable. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, seasonal mood changes, and the life transition challenges experienced by those who relocate to or from Tasmania.
