What we can explore
- The effects of abuse and trauma
- Boundaries and a sense of choice
- Trust and relationships
Beginning with your present needs
The first focus may be on current concerns, practical support and what helps you feel more settled. You do not need to tell every detail of a difficult experience in the first conversation.
Understanding reactions
Reminders, changes in trust, avoidance and distress can be difficult to make sense of. A therapist can help you explore these patterns and consider ways to respond that fit your circumstances.
Rebuilding choice and connection
Therapy may address boundaries, relationships and self-understanding alongside coping skills. Decisions about the treatment approach and pace are made in conversation with you.
