As a result we not only work with sexual abuse survivors but also military personnel, police and others involved in vicarious and direct stresses, including refugee and torture survivors.
For many people who have suffered some form of sexual abuse there are long lasting effects in the survivor’s life. Our clients tell us stories of how they have struggled to cope with fear in their everyday life. They mention that they can feel anxious in all kinds of social situations and have difficulty in their intimate relationships. Sometimes people tell us that they can’t feel close to anyone, can’t trust others and feel uncertainty about the world around them.
We now have a nationwide network of over 100 skilled clinicians from a range of different professions including counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists.
