Sexual abuse is defined as any type of sexual activity which is unwanted. It includes rape, being touched sexually without your permission, being coerced or exploited into sexual activity. It also includes having intimate images of yourself shared or posted online without your permission or receiving unsolicited explicit images (sexting).

People who have experienced sexual abuse often feel unable to share their experiences with others. Being able to talk, perhaps for the first time about painful experiences is possible in counselling. Sexual abuse can happen at any age.

Whether a recent event or something that happened a long time ago, psychotherapy and counselling will provide a safe place for you to talk.
