Sexual Abuse Counselling & Therapist Melbourne

Sexual Abuse Counselling & therapy brisbane

Sexual Abuse Counselling & Therapist Melbourne Victoria

Happy Peeps Sexual Abuse Counsellor & Therapist Melbourne understands that talking about sexual assault or sexual abuse is an extremely difficult topic of conversation. Our practitioners will treat you with the highest level of care and compassion when working through counselling sessions. We understand that as a sexual abuse victim you may have never talked to anybody about what has happened to you. We understand that you may be feeling very afraid and alone, scared and traumatised and feeling overwhelmed with pain and emotion and this may be difficult for you to talk about.

Our psychotherapists are aware that this may be very emotional for you and we will provide you support strategies to cope with in the session and after the counselling and therapy session. We will help you to reduce the impact on your life by addressing any negative thought patterns and behaviours from being the victim to helping you move to a healthy and normal functioning life with healthy relationships.

What is Sexual Abuse?

• Rape
• Forced or unwanted sexual activity
• Touching without permission
• physical force or threats when a person is unable to give consent
• deliberately causing pain during sex
• assaulting the genitals
• forced sex without protection against pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
• forcing someone to perform sexual acts
• using sexually degrading insults
• unwanted touching
• unwanted exposure to pornography
• Social media used to engage in harassing, unsolicited, or non-consensual sexual interactions
• sharing photography without permission
• unwanted technology sharing of digital photos, videos, apps, and social media
• sexual jokes
• withholding sex as punishment
• using sex to coerce compliance

Consent

• Have sex with consent as it is a healthy sexual experience
• Do not pressure your partner into having sex or performing sexual acts they do not agree to.
• Do not ignore someone if they say “No” as they have the right to say “No” even if you are married or living together.
• A person under the influence of drugs or alcohol is unable to give consent.

Affected by Abuse – How do you feel at the moment about?

• Flashbacks and Nightmares
• Disassociation
• Shame – Guilt
• Body Feelings or Anger
• Anxiety – Depression
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Intimacy or Sexuality
• Relationships
• Parenting or Children
• Low Self Esteem or Self-Harm

Children under 18 may not tell you about the abuse because they feel a sense of shame and the perpetrators normally say something to them that makes them too scared and afraid to tell anybody. These fears are generally shown in other forms of signs or behaviours.

Signs or behaviours that a Child, Teenager or Adolescent may have been Sexually Abused or in a Abusive Relationship

• Unusual weight gain or weight loss
• Unhealthy eating patterns, loss of appetite or excessive eating
• Development of an eating disorder
• Signs of physical abuse, such as bruises
• Signs of anxiety, worry or depression such as persistent sadness, lack of energy, lack of sleep or nightmares
• Withdrawal from normal activities or feeling down in themselves
• Changes in self-care such as hygiene, appearance or what they wear
• Self-harming behaviours or expressing thoughts about suicide
• Alcohol and other Drug Substance Use
• Running away from home or school
• Grading going below normal levels
• Refusing to see or interact with a particular person
• Refusal to see a doctor
• Pregnancy
• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or other genital infections

A boyfriend, girlfriend, or partner may try to do the following:

• Try to get them to engage in sexual activity that they aren’t ready to be involved in
• Sexually assaults them or forces them into unwanted sexual activity
• Refuses to use contraception or protection against STIs during sexual activity
• Hits them or physically harms them in any way
• Doesn’t want them spending time with friends or family
• Makes threats or tries to control or is controlling their actions
• Uses Alcohol or other drugs to create situations where their judgement is impaired
• Compromises their ability to say “yes” or “no”

Happy Peeps Counselling & Therapy practitioners are committed to providing you with a safe environment to discuss your concerns throughout the counselling and therapy process. If you believe you or a family member require support with sexual abuse kindly call Happy Peeps Counselling and Therapy 1300 915 271 to make a confidential appointment.
