Sexual abuse counselling
Support for healing after sexual abuse
Experiencing sexual abuse can leave you with deep emotional , psychological and relational wounds. You may be carrying feelings or memories that are difficult to talk about, or you may not have the words for what happened at all.
Whatever your experience, you deserve support, safety and understanding.
You dont have to face this alone
How sexual abuse can affect you
People who have experienced sexual abuse often describe:
- Feeling disconnected from themselves or their bodies
- Difficulty trusting others or themselves
- Shame, guilt or self blame
- Anxiety, fear or hypervigilance
- Low self esteem or self criticism
- Relationship or intimacy challenges
- Flashbacks or intrusive thoughts
- Feeling "stuck" or unable to move forward
These responses are normal reactions to trauma and not a sign of weakness
How i support survivors
My approach is gentle, trauma informed and paced entirely by you.
You are always in control of what we talk about and how we move.
In our work together we may explore:
- Understanding your emotional and physical reactions
- Rebuilding a sense of safety and atability
- Processing difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable
- Challenging internalised shame or self blame
- Strengthening boundries and self-trust
- Reconnecting with your sense of self and personal agency
You never have to share details you are not ready to share.
We can work together without me ever knowing the details. Your safety both emotional and physical is always my priority.
You are not alone
Healing from sexual abuse is possible.
It doesnt mean forgetting what happened, it means reclaiming you life, your voice and your sense of self.
If you feel you are ready to explore this work, im here to support you.
