“Sexual Abuse Trauma: Breaking the Silence for Every Survivor — Child, Adult, Male, Female”

Healing After Sexual Abuse: Therapy That Reclaims Your Body and Voice

Choosing to work with sexual abuse was not an accident. It was a decision rooted in love, in grief, and in the desperate need to do something meaningful with what I had witnessed. Sexual abuse is so much more than just trauma. It shatters and fragments every part of a person — physically, emotionally, mentally — leaving them disconnected from their body, and the mind, unsure of their worth, and often drowning in shame that was never theirs to begin with.

Abuse is a lonely place

It can feel like being locked out of your own skin, like your voice has been stolen, like safety is something other people get to have.

My sister was abused. My cousin was abused.  The confessions of abuse just kept coming out and they were not related. Friends, colleagues, friends of friends, and clients. And I don’t think I have ever met a woman who has not endured an unwanted wolf whistle, inappropriate comment or behaviour. But abuse is not just confined to women victims, or children.

I became a trauma therapist and clinical hypnotherapist because I wanted to help survivors find a way back to themselves. I’ve worked with children who couldn’t find the words, and adults who carried their story for decades. I’ve sat with people who felt broken, ashamed, and afraid to trust again. And I’ve seen what happens when therapy becomes a space where they don’t have to explain, justify, or perform — where they can simply be, and begin to heal.

Finding freedom from those thoughts and feelings.

Healing from sexual abuse matters to me. Deeply. Not because I’ve lived it, but because I’ve witnessed its impact. And because I believe — with every part of me — that recovery is possible. That survivors deserve to feel safe in their own body. That they deserve to feel whole.

How Therapy Can Help — And Why There Is Hope

Sexual abuse leaves behind more than memories. It leaves behind a nervous system that flinches at touch, a mind that questions its own worth, and a body that feels foreign or unsafe. Survivors often tell me they feel disconnected — not just from others, but from themselves. Some have lived in that disconnection for years, even decades. And yet, I’ve seen again and again that healing is possible. Not overnight. Not perfectly. But profoundly.

Therapy is not about fixing you. You are not broken. Therapy is about helping you find your way back to yourself — gently, safely, and at your own pace. In my work, I don’t ask you to relive what happened. I don’t push for details. I create a space where you can breathe, where you can speak if you want to, or sit in silence if you need to. Where your body is respected. Where your boundaries are honoured. Where your story is yours to tell — or not.

shaping surviving to thriving.

As a trauma-trained clinical therapist and hypnotherapist, I use approaches that meet trauma where it lives: in the body, in the subconscious, in the places words can’t always reach. Hypnotherapy allows us to work with the deeper layers — the beliefs that were shaped by abuse, the patterns that formed in survival. The Blast process and Kinetic shift can remove the emotions that live within that trauma memory. Somatic work helps you reconnect with your body, not as a battleground, but as a home. And for children, I use gentle, creative methods that help them feel safe enough to begin expressing what they often cannot say.

I’ve sat with people who believed they would never feel whole again. I’ve watched them begin to trust, to soften, to reclaim parts of themselves they thought were lost. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It doesn’t mean pretending it didn’t happen. It means learning to live without carrying the weight of it every single day.

Set yourself free from the trauma of abuse.

It means learning to feel safe in your own skin. It means knowing — maybe for the first time — that you are allowed to take up space, to speak, to feel, to be. All of those fragmented parts can be brought back into the whole that they were meant to be, healing each piece at a time, at your pace.

There is hope. Not because the past can be erased, but because the future can be reclaimed. And if you’re ready to begin, I’m here.
