A DIFFERENT APPROACH

How I work

Perhaps you've told yourself that what happened wasn't that bad. You look at others who experienced different forms of abuse and tell yourself you have no right to struggle, especially when you've managed to build a successful career and a functioning life. You might feel like you're taking up space that belongs to someone worse off. But trauma isn't a competition, and there is no gold medal for suffering.

What happened to you was sexual abuse. It happened when you were a child at your most vulnerable. You have carried it long enough.

I will not ask you to forgive, minimise, or move on. Your younger self already did what was needed to survive. What I offer is something different: a space where you can speak the truth of what happened, feel what has long been suppressed, and begin to release what your body and mind have been holding for years.

Your silence has been your companion long enough. Now it's time to heal, with a therapist who gets it.

TRAUMA THERAPY

Therapy for Childhood Sexual Abuse Survivors

You've survived something terrible. Maybe you've learned to cope, to push through, to build a life on the outside. But on the inside, there may be parts of you still stuck in that time, still carrying the weight of what happened.

Understanding Your Struggles

Emotional confusion, burnout, trust issues, memory gaps, vivid trauma memories. These aren't weaknesses, they're responses to impossible circumstances.

Specialised Approach

I offer therapy for people who survived childhood sexual abuse and want more than just coping. Together, we'll work toward real empowerment.

Your Pace, Your Healing

We go at your pace, and we go deep. When you're ready. I'm here to listen in-depth, with skill and honesty, supporting your unique journey.

About Me

I’m a UK-trained Counselling Psychologist with a Doctorate from the University of South Wales and a Master’s from Birmingham City University. I specialise in childhood sexual abuse and incest, and my research explores trauma from the perspectives of both survivors and therapists.

I focus deeply on this work, not in a distant or purely academic way, but with a real understanding of how early abuse shapes relationships, trust, self-worth, and even the body long after it ends.

My approach is research-informed, compassionate, and grounded, offering a safe space for survivors to explore what may never have been spoken, at their own pace and without judgement.

How I Work With Trauma

Childhood sexual abuse is not just a painful memory. It lives in the body, in shame, in dissociation, and in the gaps where memory should be. My integrative training means the therapy is shaped around you, not around a manual.

✦

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Trauma installs beliefs: "it was my fault", "I'm damaged", "I can't trust anyone". Together we identify the shame-based thinking that took root in childhood and carefully dismantle it, replacing survival logic with truths your adult self can stand on.

∞

Systemic Therapy

Abuse rarely happens in a vacuum. We look at the family system that surrounded it: the secrecy, the loyalty binds, the roles you were pushed into. This helps you understand what was never yours to carry, and meet those relationships on your own terms.

⚲

Psychodynamic Therapy

Much of what trauma does happens beneath awareness: dissociation, numbness, patterns that repeat in adult relationships. We work gently with what was never safe to feel or speak, at a depth that creates lasting change, not just symptom management.

Stabilisation always comes first. We build safety and steadiness before going anywhere near processing, and you will never be rushed into the past before you're ready. I am also currently training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), a leading evidence-based trauma-processing therapy, which I will be adding to my practice.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Beginning the Work

Reaching out is often the hardest step, especially if this is your first time in therapy, or a past experience let you down. Here is what happens next, so there are no unknowns.

1

You Reach Out

Book a session online or email me, whichever feels easier. No referral, no waiting list, and no need to find the "right words" for what happened. You don't have to tell your story to get started.

2

The First Sessions

We begin by getting to know each other and building safety. You decide what to share and when. The early work is about steadiness and trust. There is no pressure to revisit anything before you're ready.

3

The Ongoing Work

Weekly 50-minute sessions online, wherever you are in the world. This is depth work, not a quick fix. Most clients work with me for months rather than weeks, and we review progress together as we go.
