Childhood Abuse

Childhood Trauma

I am dedicated to providing compassionate and specialised care for individuals who have experienced childhood abuse and/or trauma. I offer a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences and begin the healing process, utilising evidence-based therapies to address the psychological, emotional, and physical effects of abuse. I’m committed to helping survivors regain their sense of self, build resilience, and achieve a better quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

I address various forms of childhood abuse, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and exposure to domestic violence. I provide care for both acute and complex trauma resulting from these experiences.

Common effects of childhood abuse on mental health include depression, anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), low self-esteem, difficulty forming and maintaining relationships, and issues with trust and intimacy. Survivors may also experience flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional numbness.
