Sexual trauma can have a lasting impact on how you feel about yourself, your body, and the world around you. Whether the experience happened recently or many years ago, therapy can help you begin to process what happened and feel more in control of your life again.

Evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE) are proven to be effective for treating the effects of sexual trauma, including PTSD. These approaches are recommended by clinical guidelines and can bring real relief.

- CBT can help you identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts, reduce feelings of shame or guilt, and rebuild a sense of self-worth.

- Prolonged Exposure is a specialised therapy that helps you safely process traumatic memories at your own pace, so they begin to lose their emotional intensity.

I use both of these approaches—alongside a range of other trauma-informed strategies—to support your healing in a safe, structured way.
