Historical Sexual or Physical Abuse
Sexual or physical abuse as a child can leave a profound and enduring impact that remains with us as adults. Our dedicated and experienced therapists are here to provide a confidential, supportive environment where healing can begin.
Childhood abuse can manifest in adults in many ways.
Common signs and symptoms:
1. Difficulty in maintaining healthy relationships
2. Low self-esteem
3. Persistent anxiety or depression
4. Trust issues
5. Fear of intimacy
6. Flashbacks or nightmares
7. Emotional numbness
8. Avoidance of certain places or people
9. Self-harm or destructive behaviour
10. Feelings of shame or guilt
11. Substance abuse
12. Challenges with sexual health or intimacy
13. Dissociation
Support
These symptoms often serve as barriers to living a fulfilling life, but with the right support, overcoming them is possible.
We specialise in supporting adults who have endured childhood abuse by offering tailored therapeutic approaches to address these complex effects. Our methods include cognitive behavioural therapy, trauma-informed care, and emotional processing techniques to help you reclaim your life from past pain.
