Sexual Trauma Therapy
Why do I want to help you?
Many of the people I work with have been subjected to some form of sexual harm and this is a particular area of therapy that I committed to working in as a therapist. Sometimes the sexual trauma can be from your childhood, your adult life, or you may be living with the effects of sexual trauma from both your childhood and adult life. Not to mention any other trauma you may have experienced in your life . . . . . . .
If feels weird to say out loud that I love working with people who have been sexually harmed. But what it means to me is the privilege of supporting you in your healing and recovery journey, helping you to find your way out of what is often a tornado of emotions and ways of thinking that have overwhelmed you, your life and your relationships with others.
It can often feel like that there is no way out of the tornado that is ransacking your life. But there is.
How does sexual trauma therapy work?
The effects of sexual trauma are often complex and often go unnoticed because you xtensive experience working with survivors of sexual assault, and physical and emotional abuse, as well as working with individuals who have faced their own, or a loved one’s, medical diagnosis or chronic illness. When painful emotions around such experiences go unaddressed they often find other, sometimes harmful, ways of making themselves known. Together we’ll sit in the discomfort of the emotions, and give them the space they’re deserving of and asking for. Telling your story can offer you the chance to regain, or perhaps gain for the first time, a sense of agency and self-understanding.
