I know from my own experience that it is not easy to face trauma.
From my own experience, outwardly, I was showing my strong self. Full of confidence and resilience, to please the society that is often judgemental about how I presented myself. I behaved in a manner people around me expected – to be strong and to rise above what had happened and be that bigger person.
Deep down, however, I was experiencing something very different. I was losing confidence in myself and began to experience shame – a painful feeling that I was somehow flawed, broken and unworthy of love and belonging.

Life's struggles can often bring difficult and painful emotions to the surface, and if there has been difficulty in our childhood (such as trauma or divergence) we may find that we do not have the skills to deal with, process, or even understand these big feelings. How we cope with our feelings can have a huge impact on how we show up and respond to different situations, relationships and work, having a further impact on our relationship to ourselves and our mental wellbeing. As a humanistic integrative therapist, I believe that a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is essential for effective therapy.

People often come to therapy when they’ve reached a point where simply “pushing through” is no longer working. This might show up as ongoing relationship difficulties, a loss of connection with self or others, challenges with self-image or identity, or repeating patterns that don't seem to shift.
In our work together, we explore what sits beneath recurring patterns while also developing practical tools to manage life more effectively, relate differently, and make changes that feel meaningful and lasting.

Sexual Abuse Counsellors
How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
