Childhood abuse and neglect (psychological, emotional, sexual, physical)

This type of trauma can deeply affect a person’s sense of self, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. Therapy aims to help clients rebuild a sense of safety, trust, and empowerment. I assist clients in processing the trauma of abuse or neglect at their own pace. I do this in a compassionate and non-judgmental way. This helps them rebuild their sense of self-worth.

Healing from childhood abuse is a gradual process. Therapy is tailored to each individual’s needs. It focuses on empowering the client to regain control. The aim is for the client to find peace and ultimately move toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.

In therapy, clients are encouraged to recognise the impact of the abuse on their current lives and relationships. They also develop healthy coping mechanisms for managing symptoms of trauma. These symptoms include anxiety, depression, or intrusive memories. The therapeutic goal is to help clients reclaim control over their lives. It also aims to assist them in working through feelings of shame or guilt. Therapy often involves addressing underlying issues such as trust, intimacy, and boundary-setting. It also focuses on fostering a sense of hope and resilience.

What ever issue that brings you to my door, you will be treated with respect, fairness and compassion.
